I'm using these as my LCR mains, I have a real small theater room and young kid so I had to get rid of my bookshelves/center to free up all the floor space. I'm actually shocked how good they sound, granted you better have a subwoofer! It's a pleasant surprise how good the soundstage is in a space that is pretty much worst case scenario for a theater.
Great Video as always. I have 4 prime elevations for my height speakers. I used 2 of them as my front left and right for a while as the Prime Pinnacles were back ordered. I have been very happy with them.
Thx Ealan ... I in fact LOVE my full-range prime elevations *4..... The full bodied performance of my uppers complements my Def TechBP10 lower bed layer... Adds great realism makes you feel like you're there...
The Prime Elevations are great. They are simply high quality bookshelf speakers with the requisite 30 degree angle built into the cabinet itself, thus eliminating the need for either angled speaker stands or wall/ceiling mounts, thereby saving you both money and time on installation. A simple but incredibly versatile feat of engineering that only required a little bit of thought beforehand to come up with. Why other speaker manufacturers aren't doing the same thing is beyond me.
I am considering the SVS series, I currently have a 5.2.4 set up so I need 8 or 9 speakers if I include the center channel. My question….1. Do I buy 2 SVS bookshelf for left and right and 6 elevation speakers for my heights and rears, or all elevation speakers….2. Do the elevation and the bookshelf speakers have the same specs and can be used interchangeably.
The bookshelf speakers are going to be slightly better than the elevations. I would honestly start with the Prime Bookshelf Surround System, then add 4 Elevations, if it’s in your budget. 🤷♂️
I recently mounted 4 Prime Elevations on my ceiling and... WOW! Also have SVS Ultra bookshelf and center speakers up front, SVS Ultra Surrounds for the rear (wired for 11 channels), and a SVS SB-3000 Subwoofer in the corner. All being powered by a Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A8A. I'm a happy camper.
Great video. I have 2 R41sa's to the rear back. Until I can figure out wire strategy on blank wall I brought 2 more atmos down to earlier acting as my front wide left & right all bedlayer are R51m's. Thanks for advice
BTW my current set up for the 6 height speakers are ML Motion 4i and side-back surround is ML motion FX. Pls advise if the prime elevation speakers will improve the sound effect replacing the existing set up.Thank you
I haven't personally heard any of the ML speakers you mentioned, but since they're Martin Logans, I'd stick with that, since you're currently timbre-matched already, which should be anyone's goal to have all speakers the same brand. That and ML is a great brand, so no...I don't think there would be any improvement over your current setup getting the Prime Elevation speakers in place of your MLs. But you make your system sound the best YOU want, so if you're wanting better, or different, that's another story. :)
Would you recommend these over the Klipsch RP500SAs, @Ealan? Just wondering what the differences would be? I'm considering the two. But, have no idea which direction to go. I have a Klipsch system.. so, I'd like to go with the Klipsch.. but, not at the cost of a significant performance/versatility loss. Any chance you have any insights on the pros + cons of the two head to head? [I'm not looking for the countless variety of placement options that the SVSs offer. If I do buy a pair, I'll only use them as front height or side height (?)] Thanks in advance!
I don’t have much insight on the 500SA. The cheaper R-41SA weren’t all that great, but I know the 500SA have better parts and housing. Although I did read a comment from someone that said the 500SA weren’t much better than the R-41SA and they returned them. 🤷♂️ But if they’re being used as height speakers, I think you could still get away with using Prime Elevations with your other speakers being Klipsch. 👍
Probably THX recommended 80 Hz. Many Atmos speakers can’t go down to 80 Hz in their frequency response, so it’s nice to know the Prime Elevations can handle that and more.
My set up is ML LCR 40i and ESL C. Please advise if prime elevation speakers to be installed at the side, back surrounds and 6 height speakers will match my LCR. Thank you.
Which will be better for 4 atmos speaker on the wall, to the sides L and R or front and back? I am having a dilemma, I want the svs elevation to the side with my couch in the middle but I don't know if Front and Back is better... I am technically just trying to save speaker wire length plus I don't want to get front atmos to be muddle by the LCR on the 5.1.4 setup. Side or F&B??? please help.
Ideally you’ll want front and back, but at the same time, Auro 3D specifications has front heights and side heights for their immersive configurations. So in your case it just might prove to be best. 🤷♂️
My Klipsch rep sent me the R-41SA, but I sure would love to get my hands on the better 500SA. Those and any of the other more expensive options like KEF, etc. Hopefully someday soon!
It's something I'm trying to pull off, but haven't nailed down when exactly. Have you seen TwoGuyzTech review on it? It's a good one! - th-cam.com/video/eZkyuy97-Qo/w-d-xo.html
What's everyone crossing these over at? I have pair of the rtiA9,lsim706c, svs pb 2000 pro, fxi a6 surrounds 5 svs height speakers all running through my Denon x6700h so 5.1.5
I like to keep as much low end energy coming out of my speakers as possible, and not leaving it all up to the subwoofer. So whatever the lowest frequency your speakers can handle, set the crossover somewhere between 10-20 Hz above that. So since the SVS Elevations can go down to 55 Hz, setting a crossover of 60 Hz might be too close for comfort - so I'd go somewhere between 65-75 Hz if possible within your AVR.
Nice and informative. Still a bit confused. If you can only do two elevations at the front is it worth doing and how high and wide from each other would they need to be for atmos use?
Yes! I think it’s still worth it. If you mount them high in the wall above your TV, it creates a “wall of sound.” An audible illusion that makes it seem like your TV is massive! 😄 And you don’t need to have them too wide. Usually in line with your left and right front speakers, or about 3-5 feet wider than your TV, depending on TV size, etc. 👍
@@ealanosborne Thanks mate. One more thing you might be able to help me with. I run a 7.1 set up but due to my room and WAF I run the surrounds on the side walls and surround backs on the rear wall with all 4 speakers about 4 foot from listening position and aiming at listening position. So could or should I change the configuration for the surround backs to top rears in avr?
Im using my prime elevation only as top height! Ad the tweeter s slanting do i need to sir jus below it or little behind!??! N how much is the distance btwn the two !?!
Whatever is more convenient and wherever you’re able to mount them. I know fans or lights might be in the way, etc. What’s more important than placement is making sure the software is set to correct distances between you and the speakers, so the audio gets to you all at the right time. 👍
@@ealanosborne hey is that ok to fix the prime elevation straight in line on the ceiling or can just rotate some degrees towards the centre to the main listening position!?!
Awesome you answered all my questions for my next set up for my Square home theater set thanks so much! For this straight to the point and we'll explain instructional video on set up, so I think I will buy 4 of these and go 2 in front height and 2 in rear height I would love to put the svs di/bi speakers on the ear levels on the side walls so my questions on that if I brought the emotiva 7 channel Amp and use all 7 ch. For FL/C/FR/& all four heights speakers but use my receiver to power the sides surround. But my receiver is only a Atmos 7ch. How does the set up mix work will the receiver know how to code it right. Or should I just sell my receiver and buy a 9ch. Imax receiver with the new set up thx?
Most 7 channel receivers these days don’t come with a full set of pre outs, which is a requirement for using external amps (like the BasX series). You would need to get at least a 9 channel AVR to be able to power some or (eventually) all of your speakers with external amps, like the Denon x3700h and beyond. But so many AVRs are on back order right now, FYI. 😬
@@ealanosborne Ok I actually never looked at my Sony to see if it had pre outs I mainly brought it because my TV is Sony 900E my Blu player is Sony ps4 so I went with the receiver to stay one remote for all plus the receiver has 2.1 HDMI ps4 to 900e all connect for that HDMI and the Sony has 6 regular HDMI for all my other components. 7.1 Atmos and actually sounds way better then the denon I had anyway I was thinking of the new onkyo 9.2 receiver but your totally right Crutchfield is all sold out? Why are all the receivers sold out everywhere? The only thing I see in-stock is processors but their $3000 plus I guess I can get the emotiva one with a 11 ch. And add more speakers it might take me 3 years to pay that set up off lol. Thanks for the advice
@@davidferros4655 Yeah, the Onkyo RZ50 is on so many wish lists right now. It hasn’t even been officially released yet. It was supposed to back in October. 😬 COVID and supply chain problems have delayed so many products or parts to products this year, so I get it…you either have to wait, or spend a fortune on the one thing that IS in stock. 🤦♂️ But yeah, the RZ50 I think is gonna be fantastic, when it finally comes out. Although Emotiva did announce their BasX MC-1 processor coming out soon. Granted, it’s a preamp (no internal amps), so you’d have to power all your speakers with external amps, but it’s gonna cost only $999. 🤷♂️ Something to consider.
@@ealanosborne well that's actually very affordable 1000 for that and 700 for the 7 ch. Or might be able to afford a 9 ch. Amp thanks for that heads up I will have to look that one up and study it. Also I don't know the speakers you have but I like the way they look I was going to go KEF Q SERIES because they look great in white and my gaming room design is black and Grey chrome so I was thinking white on the speakers would look very cool. Plus I heard a full set Of KEF at a home show they of course Had Krell and NAD running the components to push their Higher End KEF but wow it had to be the very realistic sound I ever heard next to the music sound of Martin Logans I never heard SVS or emotiva Am just going by all the reviews and recommendations from TH-cam. I currently ran can't spell this one lol klipsch but wow besides they look cool and aggressive. But the sound I have no idea how people like the harsh brightness of that Horn Tweeter over time I think one hearing will be loss. I don't play that loud because of that brightness. Am new to your ch. I will have to look on your videos to see what set up your running anyways Thanks for the information and reply you have a Awesome day!
@@davidferros4655 klipsch look nice. They have a good reputation. They are affordable. I wouldn’t go as far to say they are harsh, I don’t find them to be harsh. The term everyone likes to use is bright and I could agree with that. For long listening sessions you will experience ear fatigue. Because of that I bought a pair of Revel Salon 2 for 2 channel music and my klipsch for the movie room. I feel like I get the best of both worlds and something different.
I bought two as I mentioned on another video you had the other day. So far I really like how they sound. They are mounted on stands behind and above my couch about a foot right now, I just haven't gotten around to ordering some flat speaker cable to move them up onto the walls. I have a weird living room with an arch on one side but a window on the other with 9 ft ceilings, I'm hoping to put them around 7-8 ft up and I am hoping that will sound pretty good even if they will be a little forward of my listening position. My current receiver is only a 5.2.2 (Denon X3500h) and I external amp my surround/heights with some older ADCOM 535 II's. I may have to try your industrial velcro trick to try them out before I drill holes.
One other placement option is the ceiling, especially for those whose couch or seating is against the wall, as mine is. Placed like this offers a much more inviting and immersive experience. After this I found the speakers way too loose and attached a spkr wall mount to the screw hole provided. Problem solved.😊
Great content as always Ealan! I have 4 elevation speakers (2 front heights, 2 rear heights) and I watched your video on Atmos and upmixing Auro 3D. For the 30 degree angle that's recommended for auro 3D, if I have these set high on the wall downfiring do I still need to get a mount to tilt them or is the natural downfiring position achieve the 30 degree angle?
Based on my research you want the speakers 30 degrees up, but you want them pointed just above ear level (more like 20 degrees for me but would depend on how far the speakers are) I used a laser to view where the speakers were pointing in regards to my listening area, added spacers on the bottom two screws on the mount and shimmed the speakers at the bottom with some foam to give them a 20 degree angle and thus perfect height effects even mounted up on the wall. For my rear heights being much closer, the default 30 degree was pretty much perfect.
Just found the channel, great content - keep up the good videos. I have a quick question - wanted to know if I can go for a front height and side rear setup with these.. the config will be 5.1.4. My rear speakers at ear level are already behind but mounted to the side due to room constraints.. so should I mirror the ground 2 front and 2 side at the ceiling level or go for side front and side rear with the 4 atmos ceiling speakers?
You want a square of around 8 feet and you are seated directly in the middle of it. Read the Dolby atmos guidelines. Your proposal is for those who refuse to do it properly. Have a good day!
Hmmmm...haven't tested it out personally, but it might work with Bi-pole, being more directional. Di-pole, no way, since it shoots it off in directions that the engineers didn't account for when mixing a movie, etc.
Hi all, i have klipsch reference R610F speakers for sale, i bought them to have a system in my apartment but by just seeing their box, i thought they would be very big to my room i terms of sound and also the size.
They may be good but I still think they are charging way too much for them 250.00 per speaker. You get a more capable speaker with their Prime bookshelf speakers and they are 300.00 per pair. I could see paying a bit of a premium for their versatility but not that much.
In the UK the Prime elevation are £550 per pair, and the Prime Bookshelf are £650 per pair. I plan on getting two pairs of Prime elevations for front and rear height channels. Driven by Emotiva BasX A3 amps, (the other 2 amp channels will drive my side surrounds)
New subscriber here trying to build my first HT. Saving up for the best bang for my buck system. Svs prime Heco Aurora Monoprice encore Klipsch RP Any advice would be helpful
If you like big sound, big speakers and THX certification, go with Monoprice. Klipsch RP series is fantastic. Much better than their reference series. But if you want a loyal customer service experience throughout your home theater journey, go with SVS. Their Prime speakers can hold their own, but I’d say their Ultra speakers are more on par with Klipsch RP. So they might be a little pricier to get started, but like I said - unbeatable customer service, advice, and help along the way. Whereas the other brands? You’re kind of on your own. Another brand with equally impressive customer service is Aperion Audio (which I have reviewed many of their speakers on my channel). 👍
There's too much miss Information here. Speaker placement Is based on angles from the listening position. Almost never do they belong on the side and front walls. Smallest of rooms only. My next theater my front atmos is on the ceiling as that's where the angles end up. Not on the front or side walls.

Based on my research you want the speakers 30 degrees up, but you want them pointed just above ear level (more like 20 degrees for me but would depend on how far the speakers are) I used a laser to view where the speakers were pointing in regards to my listening area, added spacers on the bottom two screws on the mount and shimmed the speakers at the bottom with some foam to give them a 20 degree angle and thus perfect height effects even mounted up on the wall. For my rear heights being much closer, the default 30 degree was pretty much perfect.
@@ViciousXUSMC thank you so much for the insight. I was thinking about getting mounts but I didn't know if it would be necessary.
Just found the channel, great content - keep up the good videos.
I have a quick question - wanted to know if I can go for a front height and side rear setup with these.. the config will be 5.1.4. My rear speakers at ear level are already behind but mounted to the side due to room constraints.. so should I mirror the ground 2 front and 2 side at the ceiling level or go for side front and side rear with the 4 atmos ceiling speakers?
You want a square of around 8 feet and you are seated directly in the middle of it.
Read the Dolby atmos guidelines.
Your proposal is for those who refuse to do it properly. Have a good day!
I’m using the white elevation speakers as L and R channel and prime pinnacle centre
do you know if sony ss-cse atmos speakers have ceiling mount option?
I know it’s not recommended but what about bipolar or dipole for atmos to cause more atmospheric effects
Hmmmm...haven't tested it out personally, but it might work with Bi-pole, being more directional. Di-pole, no way, since it shoots it off in directions that the engineers didn't account for when mixing a movie, etc.
2:13 who's system is that?
Hi all, i have klipsch reference R610F speakers for sale, i bought them to have a system in my apartment but by just seeing their box, i thought they would be very big to my room i terms of sound and also the size.
I cannot ship and they are for pickup only, i live in Princeton,NJ.
Huh huh huh doodie! 😆 I could be mistaken but I am pretty sure the word duTy has a T in it .....try it dew ...tea not that difficult 😂🤣
R41 Sa 's Klipsch Speakers 🔊, By the Way I Also Have
They may be good but I still think they are charging way too much for them 250.00 per speaker. You get a more capable speaker with their Prime bookshelf speakers and they are 300.00 per pair. I could see paying a bit of a premium for their versatility but not that much.
In the UK the Prime elevation are £550 per pair, and the Prime Bookshelf are £650 per pair. I plan on getting two pairs of Prime elevations for front and rear height channels. Driven by Emotiva BasX A3 amps, (the other 2 amp channels will drive my side surrounds)
Doody😁😂

New subscriber here trying to build my first HT. Saving up for the best bang for my buck system.
Svs prime
Heco Aurora
Monoprice encore
Klipsch RP
Any advice would be helpful
If you like big sound, big speakers and THX certification, go with Monoprice. Klipsch RP series is fantastic. Much better than their reference series.
But if you want a loyal customer service experience throughout your home theater journey, go with SVS. Their Prime speakers can hold their own, but I’d say their Ultra speakers are more on par with Klipsch RP. So they might be a little pricier to get started, but like I said - unbeatable customer service, advice, and help along the way. Whereas the other brands? You’re kind of on your own.
Another brand with equally impressive customer service is Aperion Audio (which I have reviewed many of their speakers on my channel). 👍
There's too much miss Information here.
Speaker placement Is based on angles from the listening position. Almost never do they belong on the side and front walls.
Smallest of rooms only.
My next theater my front atmos is on the ceiling as that's where the angles end up. Not on the front or side walls.
6:37 Duty🤣😭😅
Now that's a bitching speaker. They definitely put some thought into this speaker 🔊 great job svs.
