This is one of the best speaker reviews I have ever heard. You used technical explanations that made sense to me 100%. I'm a professional audio engineer and I'm tracking with your review and the correct terminology. A lot of "audiophiles" use weird terminology that doesn't mean anything to me lol. You did a great job. Thank you so much.
You actually dragged that thing to a middle of a garage to take opening shots ? Take it easy Nolan , lol
Nah, living room!
Keep doing great work 👍🏻
@@JoshuaValour 4:05 you have a RED ❤️ WRX IN YOUR LIVING ROOM? 👏WOW THAT'S COOL AF BRO.. 😂
Green screen...
I think he build a garage around the speaker.
A lot of people asking about room size. I talked to SVS and they said as long as you have them at least 12 inches off the back wall and 16 inches away from obstructions for the side woofers, you should be good. That said, I would probably only put them in a room larger than 10 × 10.
I purchased these towers from svs earlier this year. Tried them with different amps, Adcom 7000, Musical Fidelity and finally vertically bi-amped Forte Audio model 3's. ( 200 watts each)
Playing then at a fairly loud ( but not loud enough to be uncomfortable) i picked up quite a bit of bass distortion in the lower area where the 2 8" woofers are. I could actually feel the cabinets flexing and putting off audible vibrations.
I removed a woofer to find a decently constructed cabinet but lacking any bracing. I had some scrap cherry 2x2's from a custom speaker build so i cut and glued them above the woofers.
I only did one speaker and tested it against the the "stock" one. So much better!! No bass distortion or resonance to speak of now.
How do you like the tweeter performance in this speaker? I bought a pair of Polk R700s based on the glowing reviews but was extremely disappointed when I received them and started playing them due to the subpar tweeter performance.
Looking to replace them now and looking at these SVSs as an option.
@@LichaelMewis that's ironic. I was really leaning toward the polk R700. My deciding factor was the Ultra towers going a little lower in the bass department.
I have no real complaints as far the mids and tweeters.
Actually love the mids. The tweets are good although i can't help wonder if they would be even better without the metal gaurd cover.
As for the bass I ended up installing internal bracing just above the woofers.
I was driving each tower with a separate vertically bi-amped Forte audio model 3 200 watt amp and when i had the ports on the towers plugged with the foam i could hear distortion at very loud levels. You could even see the cabinets flexing. With the new bracing they sound much better.
As for your question, the tweets are almost on par with my B&W's, not quite as good as my Kef 104/2's but decently close.
Great review, I am running these towers along with the ultra center and 2 SB-3000 subs. Sound is details and authoritative. Had a pair of ML 60 XT, and the treble was so fatiguing I had to return them. Before I did, I ordered these with the 45 day trial period. It took 2 songs to know these were staying and the ML were being returned. The treble is accurate but not harsh, the mid range is warm, and there is tight and accurate bass, all with excellent imaging. I am not sure what other speakers accomplish this for the price.
Jason, what size is your room?? And Do you still have this setup?? I’m currently searching for an audio system for a dedicated home theater. The room is 25’ long by 13’ wide. I’m leaning towards going with these towers, the ultra center, and I am debating going with either 2 SB-2000’s or 2 SB-3000’s. With the size of my room, would you recommend this setup??
@@tonyg03 It is an open concept kind of room, so also connects to the kitchen and breakfast area behind the seating position, and is open the full 2 stories in height, so a pretty large room. I highly recommend this setup, but you may want ported subs if your main focus is movies. I wanted tighter, cleaner bass for music, so I went sealed. I think you could get away with the 2000s if you went ported, otherwise I would go with the SB-3000. It was a huge improvement over the 2000s.
@@jasonrunyon9845 Thank you sir!
I tried several speakers at or above the price level of the SVS Ultra Bookshelf speakers and kept coming back to the Ultra. So much so, I had decided to sell the others, and my current home theater setup, and go full Ultra Home Theater. Not only would it be an upgrade, but I can keep that sound and still have a different secondary setup. Just pulled the trigger on the Ultra Towers yesterday with the Labor Day Outlet Sale. Between them disappearing from inventory shortly after and this review today, I feel much better about my purchase. Thanks for the initial thoughts to push me towards them!
How much were you able to snag them for?
I purchased 4 Ultra Towers in my 7.4.4 setup. I have an Ultra Center and 2 Ultra towers as fronts and 2 Ultra towers for surrounds. I have 2 prime towers for my Surround backs.
I got the SVS PB3000 sub. I can't tell you how much I love this thing.
Seems like an incredible subwoofer.
@@JoshuaValour It's far more than my 30x30 room can handle.. which makes it PERFECT. hahah. Freakin nice review as well!
Me too!! I tried the PC2000 and have PB3000 coming to see the difference
Hands down most in-depth yet understandable and enjoyable audio gear reviewer on the internet. I wish there was a Josh Valour review for everything😆
They are still so beautiful. A speaker on my wish list that still hasn't gotten bumped off.
The speaker review is fantastic and beautiful as always. The thumbs up is for the passion and honesty.
Josh, you're right on the money. I've had the Ultras bookshelf combined w the SVS SB1000 for a small room, and have been elated every time I get to use them, and w a very eclectic selection of music.
Thank you for sharing your experience and review.
Being impressed again every time you listen to them is a great insight.
the quick and detailed bass is indeed a result of the big woofers. Because of their big surface area, they don't have to move nearly as far to move the same amount of air as a single 6,5" would have to. And they can make that smaller movement quicker so that's why the bass is quick. Also, larger woofers are more linear and overal better at reproducing quility bass than smaller drivers.
Speaker in da parking garage fo today
People always talk about X, Y and Z for different situations.I keep saying, when a system is tuned to the listener's preferences and has no particular weaknesses, you can listen to anything on it and it should sound good. No need for loads of different equipment. I hope to hear these one day.

Conclusion 17:55
Nice review!
Great video Josh ... both of your videos on the Ultra towers were very good, so good, you cemented my decision to buy the Ultra Towers. Thanks for the great videos, not just these two, but in general, your videos are a benchmark for quality information on products, very well done, and enjoyable to watch. Thanks again.
I really didn’t expect to see this review as I saw when you got these monsters. So glad to finally see the review.
Great review Josh! As an owner of the Ultra Towers I would like to make two Ultra secret suggestions, just between us in the know. First, adjust the rake of the speakers so the tweeter fires more directly toward the height of your ear. Second, remove the bass grills. The grill for the 8" bass driver is simply press fit with a very thin soft material around the exposed metal edge. You will need to hook something through the small holes on opposite sides and wiggle them out. Once you get the hang of it it's quite easy. Looking forward to what you think after performing these suggestions.
Hmmmm... ill have to try the grille removal never even thought about it.
What is gained by removing the bass grills?
@@mthomps56 In my estimation, the bass sounds better integrated with the whole frequency range, the bass takes on a certain kind of ease to it and seems to blend in the room better giving a more solid 3 dimensional quality. When I put the grills back on I noticed a slight muffled sound to the bass and a slight thump that now sounded like distortion or interference. Just my opinion of course ymmv.
I saw you had these in your studio on a recent review that caught my eye, really happy you got them! I have B&W 683 front speakers in my home theater and are amazing for the value. I really would love to get the SVS stuff in the future to try just need to get some extra money together.
I agree this is one the best towers that I have for the past year and not so expensive like my other ones .
I got a pair of these a couple years ago, and just redid my crossovers with air core inductors, poly and related caps, replaced ferromagnetic components, and replaced the aluminum wiring SVS uses with good copper, etc.
I have other much more expensive high end monitors in my recording studio, and these SVS act as better mains than all but maybe 1% of the ultra-high end, at 10% of the price including the crossover and related upgrades. They were a great value at $2K for the pair, now they are world class at $3K with upgrades. I am using a mid-size SVS sub with them in a large studio (57’x29’x14’), and these destroy many of the most expensive pro studio mids/mains.
Which SVS subs are you using with these ?
@@harshasatya2597I am using one SB3000 about mid-way along one of the long walls about 6" from the wall and tilted out about 30 degrees. The main SVS Ultra Tower monitors about 9' from the front wall and tilted in about 10 degrees.
I'm less than two minutes in, but the fact that you hauled one of these monsters outside just to get some beautiful B-roll earns you the thumbs up, lol! You're videography is impeccable sir!
Excellent review, Josh! Thank you for this. I have a couple notes, and a request. First, I would recommend the opening scene of "The Greatest Showman" as another great all-around test. It's sonically very different in the film than the same song on the soundtrack. The combination of resounding, rumbling, booming bass and mid as Hugh Jackman is standing under bleachers while people stomp, and then hearing the brush of his hand on the brim of his hat is a pretty amazing display of power and detail, if your speakers can do it. Although you say a sub isn't necessary with the SVS Ultra towers, I would still say you'll need one for this.
Second, I would recommend replacing the brass brackets on the back of your towers with some good, thick speaker wire, if you're not bi-amping. It definitely made a difference on my towers, when I tried it. Bi-amping, though, is absolutely the way to go-- especially with as many drivers as the SVS Ultra towers have. The A-300 you pictured is a great, powerful amp. But asking it to drive a tweeter, two 6.5" mids, and two 8" woofers per channel is quite a lot.
For my request, I would love it if you could review and compare the Emotiva T2+ towers. I have them, currently, and really love them for many of the same reasons you love the SVS. I'm willing to concede that an extra $700 for 2 extra drivers per tower will likely lead to a bigger, more enveloping sound with proper amplification. However, I have a TA-100 driving the 5.5" mids and folded ribbon tweeters, and an A-300 driving the 8" woofers, and I'd take the pepsi challenge against any stereo tower system without fear of embarrassment.
The fact that these are also used by DMS is a good sign!
That's only GOOD SIGN🙄?
@@NISHUGARVU What are you trying to say or ask? Did you mean: Is it the only good sign?
@@AkilJacob slang**, never mind 😁
Mine is on the way. I'm waiting for R.L trucking to drive up to my house and roll out that pallet.
I went and listened to the SVS Ultra Towers today and played quite a bit of my favorite music and these handle it awesomely. Time to start saving up $$$! Going for the entire surround package. I experienced a lot of the things you said. Now to shop for the right amp to go with these.
Mine arrive on Wednesday. I hope I am happy with them. I listened to a pair of Vienna acoustics a decade ago and it changed what I thought speakers could do. I hope these are close to that feeling
The speakers look beautiful!
Sick video. I have these with the svs center and an HSU sub. Sounds insane.
I just ordered the ultra center channel, I have the Ultra towers on the side.
I have the HSU 15" sub.
With the center I also ordered the flagship Polk L800's for my rear in my 5.2 Denon AVR s650h. Also a dbx113 EQ. High hopes. Here to music above believable 🍻
Great editing and photo work. I run the ultra center and some SVS subs The ultra center is killer. Prefer it hands down to my Klipsh RP540c center and setup. I have not pulled the trigger on those to replace my prime towers yet... but its coming. They are a bit aged now, waiting for a refresh by SVS... come on svs...
You can correct the ear level by adding a decoupling sound pad.
The lumberjack brings the thunder back.
Forget the speaker, digging that carbon road bike in the background. Make?
Exceptional review, thank you for this. Now, as soon as I buy them they will release an updated version
Biggest fear haha
even if they do it will likely be the same drivers in a different form factor. They also have a trade up for 1 year.
If so they'll probably be a lot more money and have a boring plain cabinet. The Pinnacles are almost the same price without the same quality of components or the cool cabinetry.
@@rlink204 it's a figure of speach
I’ve wanted these for some time but only want piano white . I’ve got Tannoy XT 8F in white and these sound incredible when positioned correctly . Great in depth review .
Second on the need for piano gloss white 😂 was typing my comment when you mentioned how badly they need to make a white version
Svs should just pay you 2k for that B-roll in the parking lot.. ❤️🙌
But it would have been awkward when people look at you, isn't it?
lmao who gives af what they think
so how big does the room need to be for those speakers?
Yeah, I'm getting a pair for me and my kids
Bought my pair 9 months ago after seeing your initial review. Would buy them again tomorrow for how good they sound and thanks for putting them on my radar!
Thomas, I want these too. Can you tell me what you thinks is best to power them? Separates AB 250 watts each? Let me know please. Thanks
@@frankhanover1060 Hi Frank! So sorry, didn't see this reply. I am using the Sonos Amp and although I doubt it'll compete with serious audiophile systems, it sounds amazing to me and I can effortlessly use it for TV/Movies as well as music.
Joshua, please define a small tight space. What would you say is a large enough space for these?
I'd suggest you also give the Maggie LRS a spin as well.. I bought them a few months ago and am in love. For $600 they are incredible.
Joshua this is a really great review!
Could you explain about "small type of rooms" ? What size is considered as small from your view?
Thanks for this amazing detailed review. I just put in my order for a pair of Ultra Tower speakers and a Ultra Center speaker. I owe you a beer, lol.
ok well see I just ordered a pair . svs ultra towers, I currently have the prime 5.1 and added the prime center channel to them. My surround system is driven buy a denon avr 4500 My vintage system is a restored pair of early 80,s JBL L 100,s denon poa 2400 and a pra 1200 and a fluance rt 84 turn table, I cant wait to hear them on either system. thank you for your review you helped me pull the plug and order them. Next on my list is a pair of jbl L300,s
Can you please elaborate on more details about small to medium size rooms? What is the size of the room that you use this speaker in
Well worth the wait great review. I have the Ultra bookshelves and center and absolutely love the sound they produce. I wish I had a bigger room for the towers, but the bookshelves are a great alternative option. You should try to get the prime pinnacles in for review I heard those are great if you don't have the space for the Ultra towers.
Then how big of a room should these towers be put in? Is an apartment living room size of roughly 11 x 21 feet (330 x 630 cm) good enough?
@@George_K. SVS on their website gives you recommend space for their Ultra towers. I believe you need about 3 inches of space around the towers. You can also chat with an SVS rep and give them your dimensions and they will let you know if you have enough room for the Ultra towers.
Subwoofer is moving while speaker is disconnected? Magic! )
Editing magic
It finally dropped! 2020!
I thought about buying these then heard that the treble is unrefined. Decided I should put the same budget into bookshelves and get a nice REL sub down the line. I have my eyes set on the Elac Vela BS403 now, would love to see more speaker review from you Josh! already got my Hifiman Arya and LCD-X because of you and was not dissapointed
The age old question in my head.....Humm i wonder what sounds better..... i got vanatoo T1E with sub out into mini dsp feeding 2 rythmik lvx 12s time aligned and with house curve... i know i have these beat hands down below 80hz but i dont know what i am missing above that. I will never know because my wallet is not speaking to me anymore. :(
Great review, to the point and concise, I love that you started of with the quick conclusion, and nicely shoot. Also I'm watching this on my SVS Ultra Towers with mate Oka Venere which I love. I also came to the same conclusion that I didn't need subwoofers after a lot of testing, to little of the music, games and movies I consume go sub 30 often enough in any meaning full way for me in my apartment. I also use a miniDSP with Dirac Live to boost my sub 35hz base to compensate for the roll-off. Lastly I would appreciate a list of the music used in the vide and songs you talked about in the review. Now I had to ask Siri to identify them.
Been looking into these speakers for a while, thanks for your detailed review (as always)!
Will you also be reviewing the new Buchardt A700 active towers and compare them to these?
just... buy these. trust.
Those are like 6 grand...
Bi-amping is a must!
I was thinking of doing ELAC floorstanders until i saw your review. Both brands get good reviews so hard to know without hearing them. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Damn you parked that speaker in da garage 😆
One and only question
Is it good for home theatre use and for Spotify playlist/Amazon music HD
Seeing how excited you were about these speakers, you need to try some Danley Sound Labs SH50 speakers or something of the like. A few of Danley's speakers are the best speakers I have ever experienced and I've heard well over 100 speakers in home, car, and pro audio.
Am I wrong to look at these and see ultra-affordable Kef Blades?
Because that's what they look like to me...
4:05 you should have made a B-roll of that red wrx as well..
Can tell you really like these
I’m stunned when you mention they were only 2k. They do look a lot like some of the speakers from Meridian. It’s a shame they are for bigger rooms as I’m sure they would have been on my shortlist (funds allowing) would love to audition them with my friends Krell preamp & 4 monoblocs with his krell CD player as source. He’s using Martin Logan Neolith speakers at the moment. It would be interesting to compare The SVS ultra against the Neolith as I’m sure price performance wise the SVS would win
Also interesting point with needing your ears to be inline with the tweeter for best results , -B&W 8 series put their tweeters on the top so possibly alleviating the problem. Would it be better if SVS had rearranged the speaker setup so that the tweeter was on top? As I’m not an audio engineer this may be a stupid question.
on amazong they are like $2.6k
Have you listened to the SVS Prime PINNACLE speakers? If so what are your thoughts on them? Thanks for the videos..
What dac/amp do you recommend for under $500 for these ultra towers?
I'm sure they're good, but after demoing a bunch of SVS subs I won't be going SVS. Subs are supposed to be their specialty but they just didn't have the fidelity for music like JL and REL. So if they can't knock a product out of the park that they specialize in, then I won't bother with any of their other products. Reviewers give their subs praise, but I found them under performing with music. That's just my 2 cents. Great review though and the B-roll was beautiful. Keep up the good work.
You are the first person I have ever heard say that. I have an SVS PB12 Plus 2 and it blends seamlessly with my system for 2 channel. It completely disappears and adds an incredibly realistic foundation to all of the music that I listen to any way.
Yeah this guy has no idea, the SVS SB2000 pro x 2 compliment my B&W 705 S2 very very well
@@DRC92 🤣🤣🤣 or maybe you have no idea. Maybe you haven't heard a sub that is at that next level or two up from SVS. Maybe you guys don't have an ear for bass. Go out and listen to something decent like a REL or JL back to back to the SVS on some music and you will see. It really isn't that great for music. But to maybe to your ears, it's great but to mine I could hear a hug difference. I wasn't ok with settling with something that's just "ok" with music.
Well...... I just Run a 2 U-Tower SVS....and.... If you may have a Great AVR...thats like......Great Sound, Compared to the Sonusus Faber or B&O.....
Yet to get the best of the U-Tower....the External Amps Wud Justify!...Worth the Buy!
What was the intro/closure audio overlay music track?
Hey Joshua, I really love your videos by any chance you will do a Q&A video
i was hoping to see your review set up so i can see how big of a room is needed for these
I am liking the look of the carbon fiber wheels in the background too. What are those?
Hey Josh, do you have experience with KEF stuff? I was looking at some Q950s and Q650C for a home theater setup - if you do, how do these compete? Cheers
Cameron Hewitt plus one. I might do a review of both
How does this compare with klipsch rf 7iii?
If I wasn't fully vested in my GoldenEar set-up SVS would be my choice. But I'm in way too deep.
Earned a sub.+like! Love SVS my dream gear, thank you! 🙂
Thank you for this review. I understand your listening experience a little when it comes to loud speakers. These are a very specific niche within audiophile circles. I have considered these and still am with a prospective project. How would you describe/compare the off axis frequency response to kef products? (Sidebar: kef q series is my reference as of now)
Before watching this video, I thought “I’m going to test out my new SVS Ultra towers (which arrive Wednesday) on Lord of the Rings
Do you still feel the same about these speakers in 2022?
can you review plz definitive technology bp9080x tower speakers + cs9080 center channel speaker
What speakers would you recommend for medium sized rooms?
Ive had mine for a few months just running off an outlaw 5000 in stereo wondering what amplifiers people suggest for these on a pure music setup. I have a Parasound P6 should i just grab an A23+? obviously more would be better but want to keep it under the 2k price tag if possible. They sound great as is but want to ditch the home theater amplifier ive been using for years now.
I was thinking you missed a little LOTR cut scene or spoof when you said "two towers" and then you mentioned the movie 🍿 Great review!
Have you tried Klipsch Heritage or some kind of higher end Klipsch to compare to them? Or RF7III?
This is a great review!
awesome review and production!
They need to come in White and with upgraded feet / binding posts.... I would be happy to pay $2500 for that.
Now you can pay more than that for no upgrades lol I own these but I’d never pay the price they are now
@@danemoreno88 I started out with a very typical 5.1 system all SVS Ultra with 2x of the Ultra 16 sealed subs using Emotiva single amplifier. The next stage I went to was adding 8x of the 1000 series Focal in Ceiling speakers and realized the Focal was clearer and more refined with better midrange defenition and these are really just 6x over heads and 2x rears. I still used the SVS rears as sides now. I then added 4x more SVS Ultras's to create a line array setup and found i needed a much better processor to control them. Purchased the AVM 90 from Anthem to go with 2x ATI 300x8 amplifiers. Long story short is now that I have gone down this rabbit hole the SVS Ultra towers still punch above their weight in this system but it does make me want to switch them out for Focal speakers.
I have about a 12 × 25 ft livingroom. Getting these and 2 PB3000 subs. Can't wait to see how they sound.
You think I can pull these off in an 18 x 12 room? He said no small to medium rooms
@@el34glo59 call svs. They will let you know what works best.
Please review the Goldenear Reference or One.R and then compare to these SVS Ultras.
Lol... well... how about.. this is the best speaker in the 1k USD price range!
Hi , thanks for the great review, very informative. I was curious will one of the towers work for a center channel. I have two Ultra book shelves already.
How do you like the tweeter performance in this speaker? I bought a pair of Polk R700s based on the glowing reviews but was extremely disappointed when I received them and started playing them due to the subpar tweeter performance.
Looking to replace them now and looking at these SVSs as an option. How does this speaker perform in the upper range, is it detailed, lound but not harsh?
I got mine for 1600. Outlet from SVS.
How were they? Any damage? Your thoughts on the sound? I'm really eyeing getting a set myself!!
@@troybird1132 mint condition! Not to mention SVS gives you their full warranty as if the product were new so there's no risk on your end. There an absolutely outstanding speaker have blown my mind and 2-channel stereo music is lights out as well as Hometheater. Sorry for the extremely late response hope it helps Maybe by now you've already pulled the trigger on a pair and you love them as well
I have a 12x15 room…dare I get these? I’m thinking so, I’m a bass head and you can always dial it down anyway. Just bought a Klipsch RP-504C(on its way) at a stellar price, I know you should match set your front stage, but I’m thinking it will work as I have a hard time with dialogue and the RP-504C is suppose to excel. Going to be running everything off of a new 2021 Yamaha Aventage when they launch……Thoughts? Exceptionally thorough review with excellent production/editing!
What's the name of the song used on 7:21?
Edit: never mind found it - My New Life ♧ BLAEKER feat. Jaslyn Edgar
I stoped expecting this review! Thank you so much! These are currently my end goal speakers, unless I can some how afford some high end electrostatic speakers. Have you ever heard any?
Matthew's Corner Martin Logan Neolith ESL speakers Sound absolutely incredible.
Josh could you please compare U12t vs M5 and Odin?
My listening room is 15ft wide x 24ft deep. Is that room too small for these?
No, it’s quite perfect
You mentioned the Ultra bookshelf comes in white but I don't see them for sale anymore on SVS site or Amazon. May be discontinued.
What was the room and flooring like when you listened to the SVS Ultra Towers? Tile, carpet, floorboards? I wonder if the sound on tiles and floorboards might be a bit too much?
josh what size room dimensions would you consider the minimal for these? im jsut curious bc im about to build a house
Before you spend your money.... Maybe review the new Elac UBS 2.0 Towers and the Triangle Bro 8's. Ron loved them both. Would like your opinion on those too. Great review btw 👍🏽
What gear did you use with these speakers, other than the Rotel.
