Bookshelf Recommendations


Long time, first time here. Looking to upgrade my current speakers. While I know the best way to judge is by actually LISTENING to a set-up, I've read a lot of positive reviews of the SVS Ultimas. Does anyone here have first hand experience with those or a similar bookshelf at the +/-$1k price point?

My listening space is 12 x 12, with a Carver M1.5t power amp and CJ PV-12 pre.

Im currently using MG Rev 6 signature speaker been running them for well over for 6 weeks, if you love sound stage reproduction and amazing imaging these speakers will do a fantastic job especially for your 12' × 12' room size. Midrange and highs are also superb but the bass needs to be augmented with a sub but that is for my room which is 12' × 21' × 9'. 

For full details on them you can check out a thread i started under review section :

howdy carerra4s!
I've been following your thread and am curious if you made a decision for your bookshelves yet?  take care!
Have to be honest: my query generated a plethora of great suggestions, and I'm probably more confused than when I started.

On the upside, I've been enlightened, with more than a few makes/models that I was not even aware existed. 

Just going to extend the Safari a bit, keeping in mind the outstanding choices--new & pre-owned--that are available.
yep, totally understand that!  great thing is the excitement of anticipation  finding the bookshelves that will have good synergy with your system. Good luck and let us know.
Thanks for your interest in my quest. I've had some respectable upstream gear for years; just lacked a decent, dedicated listening room.

Now that's FINALLY coming to fruition, and I'm making an exhaustive effort to find speakers to do it justice.

You folks have been enormously helpful, and needles to say will be the first to know when I push the plunger...
