Johnny,
I have had them for about 5-6 day's and I love them. I have
owned to many speakers for sure and these hit all the right
marks with me. Musical, with PRaT and are very open sounding
and have excellent imaging as well. Just a very balanced
speaker overall, and a speaker that has me wanting to listen
to them the minute I get home everyday.
And, I also use my system for HT and regular daily tv
watching. I have not yet watched a Blu-Ray on them (Except
for a ~10 minute demo)and they
are going to be awesome! Lot's of speakers can
sound dull watching regular TV, but these make just regular
TV fun again. (If you use them for that)
I should add (for what it's worth) that I become very bored
very fast with most every speaker I get withing a few day's.
Yes I know that's pretty sad but true! :o) If a speaker
number one does not do music, it's outta here! Two, if it
does music but is limited for movies (Dynamics, compression
etc) it's outta here. These are more than holding my
attention and I
am loving them more everyday, and that's a great sign for me
as I really want to settle down for awhile and
Even though it's a hobby, I feel there
is a point of diminishing returns. I have owned so many
speakers up to
the $30k (retail) price that I think I have a pretty good
handle on that DR area. I can say that these SVS Ultra
Towers fall in that category and when set up right can be an
end all speaker for most. A good friend of mine went to a
recent show (RMAF) with the intent to buy his dream speaker
and had a budget of about $8k, and ended up buying these.
They are that good!
A great speaker for sure, and the build quality is
outstanding! They look beautiful in the
piano black. Pics do not do them justice. I highly recommend
them especially with a no risk 45 day trial. Mine won't be
going back.
