Mounting mine this weekend. Just waiting for my svs ultra bookshelf speakers to come in ! My home theater is complete but my wallet is so lite lol !! Its ok though totally worth it. I'm blessed to have the money...
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude thanks after contacting svs this is not the speaker for me because of the rear port, gonna stick with klipsch module unless you have another suggestion lol
Hi HTD. Im mounting these on my ceiling right now. What I'm thinking is if I should be mounting these with a "toe in" towards the listening position. I.e. at the right width but with the speaker angled inwards a bit. Unsure about this.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude That's what I ended up doing. Straight facing just didnt feel natural when mounting. I angled them slightly and it turned out really well. Now I just have to find another pair for the rear channel ;)
Hey! If you side mount this up on your walls you will get the same over the head effects like when you have in ceiling over the head speakers or you will perceive the sound coming more from the sides and not really over the head?
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude thanks! I'll buy a Denon X1600H, does this AVR have the options to set position of the speakers like that up on the side of walls or you set it as direct overhead?
I am adding 2 of the Prime Elevation speakers to a 5.1 setup for Atmos . What’s the best place to mount them? I don’t have any wall or ceiling restrictions.
As an update, I tried then in the side walls and overhead. They sound better on the side walls. Only problem now is that I can’t get the AVR to display Atmos. It’s only showing Dolby. I’m sure there is a setting that I am missing somewhere between the 4K blue ray and the avr. I’ve tried 4K Mad Max and 4K Star Wars and the Atmos demo on Vudu.
Hey I got these speakers Should I mount them on table so they shoot from the ceiling or mount them on the wall on top of my speaker and they shoot the sound on listening position because I dont know which way sound better for atmos?
What about the mounting magnetic for the ceiling? Do you still need to order that separately or do they come with them now? I did not see an option to choose them when I ordered mine a couple of days ago. I guess I will find out tomorrow. But if you ask me they should be included with every box.
If you order them direct you get the option to add the magnetic mounts for free. Even if you get them from an authorized retailer then you can get with svs' customer service and they will send you out some for free.
Ideally yes you want them through studs. However, you can use wall anchors. I used them for my heights and the stuff I hang from the ceiling. They leave a bigger hole to fill once you remove them from the wall if you ever do. but they can hold tons of weight.
I just wnant to say thank yoiu for itrodcucing me to he svs primes. i have trhe kilpsch rf7iii in front with r 64iii and put the RP280FA with upfiing for back surrounds and two ceiling speakers. I think i already mentioned that to you but man after doing the calibration with the Marantz sr7012 running 7.2.4 with the Parasound A52+, man was i mssing on a lot. I iitterally went back and watched movies again that i watched previously becuase i could hear everything so balanced. The sound goes and flows where its supposed to be and makes it way more immeresed. I love klipsch and will never change them, but the SVS Prime beats their Atmos by a lot. Even watching regular TV is different now lol. I can count with one hand how many guys are like you doing this for the love of it but mainly for people to benefit and not waste money on things they dont know about and learn everything they need from you. So thanks dude, you deserve more props and be cool as always.
Glad you got your system set up right! Thats great to hear. I started this channel to help people. The money is a bonus, but i give honest and genuine reviews and testimonials. I'll take my integrity of cash any day. Marines dont lie chea or steal.
Question if you would like to add 4 prime elevations to a 5.1 system to make it 5.1.4 for Dolby Atmos what is the placement options and settings on the AVR for denon because some placement options don’t work for Dolby Atmos ?
That Home Theater Dude haha yeah I understand that but if I add 2 front height speakers and 2 surround heights speakers apparently that configuration is not comparable with Dolby Atmos placement however for DTS X and Auro 3D it’s fine so with that setup you can’t get Dolby Atmos unless you change it from amp assign to 2 rear height speakers from surround height. But doing so would that still give you accurate sound or not as it’s Object based.
@@MYSTICKNIGHT23 I need to double check in the settings. But i think rear surrounds and the 4 heights works great for object based sound. i wouldnt take the rear surrounds out if I had a choice. The atmos manual is more of a guide. You can enjoy all the formats equally if you set them up according to the atmos setup. You only need to add a voice of god for auro and you are set up for all of them. I use auro codec for Tv. I like how it upmixes anything to overhead sounds.
Hi THTD, can you give me an honest opinion how to move those speakers mounted to the ceiling would blend with the Klipsch speakers that you/I have? Do you hear timber matching issues? I just heard in your video that you are a Marine, thank you for your service. My nephew is a signal intelligence analyst for the army.
lawrence09151 there is zero issues with timber matching. The svs are very neutral and perform well with any speaker brand that I have seen or tested in person. They are really impressive speakers. Military know how to get it done my man. Haha
That Home Theater Dude oh by the way I’m really loving the DSU with the center spread turned on. It is so good and immersive. I can’t imagine what it will be like when I add heights. I saw that you like the auromatic upmixer. Idk I’m not gonna pay $199 on my model to find out lol did you know about turning on the center spread for DSU for stereo music sources? I heard to turn this on from our friends at audioholics.
I dont agree with everything audioholics has to say but they are a very great source for most info. I highly recommed the auro upmixer. I listen to almost everything in auro 3d. You dont need the Voice o God to fully appreciate it. But it is a great feature.
Question, I have been reaching out to speaker manufactures as per upgrading my whole system and all have suggested to timber match to your front LCR. Thoughts as per these speakers working with other makes, and models? I am considering all SVS and even SVS stated demo the fronts first and if SVS is your choice for fronts then get the matching surrounds. It seems many are adding these with Klipsch or other brand LCR though. Curious on your take on that?
I agree with matching the LCR. So if you're thinking about the ultras I would do that everyday of the week. If you would like to save cost I would recommend pairing the Ultra front stage with prime bookshelfs, surrounds, and elavations. But if you want to do a different Brand then they will play nice with them too. The tweeters make them compatible with many other speakers. When did you want to make the switch?
Hey home dude..I spoke to you about this before (it think anyway). Lol .my room I 12/12 /10..The only two height options that I have are..(2 speakers) in the front above tv and mains.Or on either side of the couch on the walls up high. What do you think is the best option.. i’d rather have them pointing on each side of my sofa for better overhead sound. But then, I believe they will be out of Dolby’s Recommendations..
hello there,please explain the voice of god like what do you need to hook that up,i have denon avrs4400 for my svs atmos front and back and monolith 5x200 for my fronts and rear surround and one svs pb3000,so please tell me what i need and where to connect on dvr or do i need another amp ,thank you sir,by the way your very helpful watching your videos thanks
Usually it will ask you to use the SUB 2 output on the back of the 4400 to use as your Voice of GOD (VOG) you just run a subwoofer cable or RCA from the SUB 2 output to the unused channel on your monolith. connect the speaker wires to your speaker. place the speaker directly overhead of your Main listening position. make the changes on the 4400 in amp settings and redo audessey cal. easy peasy
That Home Theater Dude I only have 5x200 monolith for fronts and rear surround so do I need another amp for the voice of god ??and to assign the speaker what would it say on the avrx4400 thanks buddy
I bought it already new AV-amplifier and subwoofer comes also but later in post office, today i get it with one friend! Works great but Dolby Atmos i set up some later.
I got my replacement PB4000 today and I gotta tell you as great as it sounds my room won’t give it a break. I keep turning the volume up just to realise it is too loud for the house because I can’t hear the low frequencies 25-50hz to be exact. Moving the sub somewhere else is almost impossible. I was wondering if bass traps will do the job? I am cornered, please help :D!
That Home Theater Dude quite impossible in my room since there really is only one place to put it. Really I am just looking for alternatives rather than resorting my whole room. I could send you a picture through gmail if you are willing to help? Are you? :3
Hey Home theater dude, do you feel like the back height surround are worth the extra cost for the whole setup? I have a drop ceiling in my living room that lets me do inceiling middle height channel. I was thinking of doing 7.2.2 , but I read somewhere that Dolby recommends 5.2.4 over 7.2.2. Is the 4 height channels used as often to give up surround backs?
I agree about the 5.2.4. If you wanna get the most out of atmos then this is the best route granted you are willing to give up your rear surrounds. the rear surrounds are under utilized in most cases any ways. You already have the in celings which is good. Go full atmos until you can upgrade your reciever. Plus since the atmos channels are usually smaller speakers, they wont draw as much wattage from the AVR like rear surrounds would.
I accidentally dropped the short stubby screw into the port and it is stuck to the magnet. How can i get that out. Can you please help. Will this affect speaker sound quality
Teasing us with those SVS Ultra's in the background. If you want to try Bi-amping them, I believe you can set one of the secondary speaker zones to bi-amp on the x4400h. I really want to hear those Bi-amped, I think they need it.
Thank you HTD! I love audio and HT and your videos are very informative for a novice who is always seeking improvement to my system. I just ordered these same speakers in gloss white but have a few questions after you have done some evaluation of these speakers. One do you feel they are a necessary improvement from other speaker choices such as commercial over head ceiling speakers which can focus like Klipsch, Proficient Audio or Dayton Audio? I have a election friend who feels these maybe over kill for Atmos and or Surrounds and there are far less expensive solutions that will provide excellent results. However I have no idea how true that is being I have nothing to compare. I am looking forward to hearing these this week and will post my evaluation in your comments. Thanks again.
Im just going to say this . get a speaker and listen to it open air. That means no box or enclosure and play some music or watch a quick clip. How does it sound? Then listen to the dynamics and clarity you get from a bookshelf speaker in an enclosure. i understand that putting speakers in the ceiling is perferred by most but there is a reason why people are giving these prime elevations more attention. try them out and see if you like them. If you feel like you could have a better sound solution for cheaper, let me know. Hope that helps. I didnt see your purchase over on my end though. I think you'll be really pleased with your speakers
I can't wait to get mines this week. I order the Piano Gloss as well, I'm looking forward to hearing them as height speakers for Atmos with the rest of my Fluance Signature series setup. My question is should I run another auto room correction calibration setup with my Onkyo txrz610?
Mike Z yes. If you want to get more accurate use a calibrated microphone and adjust your levels until you are at 75bd at your mlp for all channels. That should get you some better sound. The auto cal will set your latency for you( distances )
That Home Theater Dude Thank you for your respond! Looking forward to to getting them in the mail this week. I heard nothing but great reviews from these SVS prime.
Hey what's up? I was wondering what your average volume level is on your avr when watching a movie? I have to turn my x1400h up to Atleast 60+ and I feel like it's not loud enough still... Does this seem normal?
AsReal AsItGets yeah you have to run denon louder. I was good at -20 -15 on my Yamaha but the denon I need to turn it up to -10 or reference. But I like to live dangerously. Straight up movie theater quality.
Hey just curious... I was messing with my dialog volume and that helps a ton. But there's also db for each individual speaker... Do you set them all individually? And what db do you use? (mine are on 0-98 setting)
AsReal AsItGets i use the reference scale -80+15 I think. I usually watch movies at -10 or 0. If you are talking about speaker level adjust the you need audessy to set those up for you. Or a spl meter. Don’t just put those on whatever you want. You could damage your speakers
Not to obviously (mounting to the wall at least). Using the brackets I can't use my banana plug cable set I picked up made specifically for the placement for these speakers without getting either different mounts OR cutting the end of my expensive cables. These speakers are exceedingly hard to mount using the included mounts and banana plug cables Ugh!
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude Thanks for the reply and tip. I was frustrated after spending the $$ only to not be able to listen to them (I've had them for two weeks and only tonight was able to try and mount them). I just ordered some spade plug and will have to hack my new cables once I get them this weekend. Until then I'll have to dream about 7.1. Cheers!
Hey there. Beautiful speakers. Still want your klipsh lol I need to save up myself for 7.2 full new speakers. I spoil myself my friend. I put 13 ultra in my bedroom and my Sony dual subs in the big theater room lol I can’t decide. I’m mostly in my room. So now I need to buy new speakers. Love those speakers they look sweet btw.
Dude! I got 5 views already haha. Didnt think anybody else could view it. Il do a better one when the new avr comes.and il try not to talk so much haha!
Can u also explain please I have 2 of these speaker and 2 sony scc all 4 speakers dolby atmos enabled speakers plus my bose 10 series v 4 What's the best option for me?
Awesome man. I live in Laredo way south. Wish I could send you some pics of my slowly evolving theater. Been wanting to move to dallas for a while man. Hopefully soon.
Hey THTD, just a quick one. You should be able to view my video now, to hours to upload. I was very intoxicated haha!. Let me know what you think. Its just a mock setup at the mo. Thanks.
it is your intension to replace all of your Klipsch with SVS? i will shortly updating my HT and was thinking of going the Klipsch RPs but SVS is a consideration also. Any advice would be appreciated.
SVS has my full attention right now. I knew their subs were top notch, but I never gave any concideration to their speakers until i heard them in person. They are some of my favorites at the moment! Which speakers were you interested in?
I have had the ultras for a few days and I have been playing them non stop. The sound recreation from them is just all around better. If I were you I would seriously look into the Ultras. Dont forget to click my links to take you to the SVS website, They wont know I helped ya if you dont use those. Let me know what you decide. I'll put out more videos this week to compare against Klipsch!
Why dont you put your speakers on the spikes??!? You lost a lot of good bas without them and virtual space. I Used to have set of rp260 and next rp280 with NAD amp and they show their power on bass standing on the spikes
Your previous video has been deleted, what was your reaction , when i ask you , are you going to get rid of the Klipsch .. or are you going to use the svs for just 90 days as a demo? 😆 Nice setup you get now 🤑
Some one flagged it as being "inappropriate" I have put in an appeal. We will see if it gets put back up. I dont curse, im never naked, and I dont show guns on my channel. I think it will get reversed. Im pretty steamed about it though.
Yea wasn't your video about the Aura 3D demo disc or something? Flagged makes no sense? Couldn't you just fight it? My whole channel is demonitized now so I don't care... Was that the issue though? It got demonitized?.
Maybe. Im gonna test them against each other against one another as I get them. I have the atmos and towers now all i have to do is test em! Center and surrounds are coming.
That Home Theater Dude Klipsch are the entry level they are good but the more you know you want more. I move from my Klipsch to B&Ws no I want the monitors audio silver.
That Home Theater Dude I think they are popular because they are good. But they are entry level I enjoy while a had them. I was fan of Klipsch close where I live is the Klipsch museum
Go a while, i get budget for new AV-amplifier and speakers of course, i m not a millionaire and i dont do videos but i am heir, what bring for me money.
quick question, which is gonna give better atmos effect, front/rear or side configurations for the elevations? 5.1.4
Mounting mine this weekend. Just waiting for my svs ultra bookshelf speakers to come in ! My home theater is complete but my wallet is so lite lol !! Its ok though totally worth it. I'm blessed to have the money...
Right on. Enjoy
Can I place on top a speaker facing the ceiling? This is my only option
you can. Youd select atmos enabled speaker in the settings. this is not ideal though
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude thanks after contacting svs this is not the speaker for me because of the rear port, gonna stick with klipsch module unless you have another suggestion lol
Hi HTD.
Im mounting these on my ceiling right now. What I'm thinking is if I should be mounting these with a "toe in" towards the listening position. I.e. at the right width but with the speaker angled inwards a bit. Unsure about this.
That’s what I did. I would recommend it.
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude That's what I ended up doing. Straight facing just didnt feel natural when mounting.
I angled them slightly and it turned out really well. Now I just have to find another pair for the rear channel ;)
When mounting to the ceiling, only two of the screws will be able to hit a joist. What did you use for the other two? Drywall anchors, toggles, molly?
i never worried about hitting studs, i just used 3 50# drywall anchors for the speakers. they dont weigh a ton
Hey! If you side mount this up on your walls you will get the same over the head effects like when you have in ceiling over the head speakers or you will perceive the sound coming more from the sides and not really over the head?

Hey what's up? I was wondering what your average volume level is on your avr when watching a movie? I have to turn my x1400h up to Atleast 60+ and I feel like it's not loud enough still... Does this seem normal?
AsReal AsItGets yeah you have to run denon louder. I was good at -20 -15 on my Yamaha but the denon I need to turn it up to -10 or reference. But I like to live dangerously. Straight up movie theater quality.
Lol same here. OK just checking Thanks.
Hey just curious... I was messing with my dialog volume and that helps a ton. But there's also db for each individual speaker... Do you set them all individually? And what db do you use? (mine are on 0-98 setting)
Let me rephrase that... There is a channel level adjustment for each channel.... Should I adjust each of those? And to what db do you use?
AsReal AsItGets i use the reference scale -80+15 I think. I usually watch movies at -10 or 0. If you are talking about speaker level adjust the you need audessy to set those up for you. Or a spl meter. Don’t just put those on whatever you want. You could damage your speakers
Is there a possability you could explain how to send you the link? Its just im new to all this lol.thanks
Sorry brother I was in class. Looks like you got it working. Im gonna watch it when I get home.
Not to obviously (mounting to the wall at least). Using the brackets I can't use my banana plug cable set I picked up made specifically for the placement for these speakers without getting either different mounts OR cutting the end of my expensive cables. These speakers are exceedingly hard to mount using the included mounts and banana plug cables Ugh!
use a spacer cut a chunk of wood just big enough for the mount and cut some reliefs to allow the cables to fit. easy peasy
@@ThatHomeTheaterDude Thanks for the reply and tip. I was frustrated after spending the $$ only to not be able to listen to them (I've had them for two weeks and only tonight was able to try and mount them). I just ordered some spade plug and will have to hack my new cables once I get them this weekend. Until then I'll have to dream about 7.1. Cheers!
Hey there. Beautiful speakers. Still want your klipsh lol I need to save up myself for 7.2 full new speakers. I spoil myself my friend. I put 13 ultra in my bedroom and my Sony dual subs in the big theater room lol I can’t decide. I’m mostly in my room. So now I need to buy new speakers. Love those speakers they look sweet btw.
They sound great too!

Now i going to get that new AV-amplifier and subwoofer, i guess i going to get 2subwoofer for summer!

That Home Theater Dude you bet.
That Home Theater Dude i already put the amplifier under the work some, first is must get a money for that!
That Home Theater Dude yeah. I got the money already and amplifier waiting for me already, tomorrow i go to get that!
I’m waiting on my last pair. Hey do you live in Texas? Cause borjas the screen guy lives in Austin.

Awesome man. I live in Laredo way south. Wish I could send you some pics of my slowly evolving theater. Been wanting to move to dallas for a while man. Hopefully soon.
I mean, i going to buy both a same time, amplifier and subwoofer! I got a money enough already.
Hey THTD, just a quick one. You should be able to view my video now, to hours to upload. I was very intoxicated haha!. Let me know what you think. Its just a mock setup at the mo. Thanks.
i checked your channel and no videos are live. Give me the link and i can look at it for ya. Thanks bud
it is your intension to replace all of your Klipsch with SVS? i will shortly updating my HT and was thinking of going the Klipsch RPs but SVS is a consideration also. Any advice would be appreciated.
SVS has my full attention right now. I knew their subs were top notch, but I never gave any concideration to their speakers until i heard them in person. They are some of my favorites at the moment! Which speakers were you interested in?
That Home Theater Dude either 260s or 280s v SVS Prime or Ultras
I have had the ultras for a few days and I have been playing them non stop. The sound recreation from them is just all around better. If I were you I would seriously look into the Ultras. Dont forget to click my links to take you to the SVS website, They wont know I helped ya if you dont use those. Let me know what you decide. I'll put out more videos this week to compare against Klipsch!
Mediabridge banana plugs work well with them
Oh ok..cool no worries. :D
Time for some Nitrile Gloves, dealing with that Piano Black finish...
or you could use Spade speaker connectors..
Why dont you put your speakers on the spikes??!? You lost a lot of good bas without them and virtual space. I Used to have set of rp260 and next rp280 with NAD amp and they show their power on bass standing on the spikes
got some spikes with my ultra towers! Dont know if I wanna use them I have tile.
You should place the elevation as high as you can for better results.
putting in crown moulding. Im not mounting them twice.
Your previous video has been deleted, what was your reaction , when i ask you , are you going to get rid of the Klipsch .. or are you going to use the svs for just 90 days as a demo? 😆 Nice setup you get now 🤑
Some one flagged it as being "inappropriate" I have put in an appeal. We will see if it gets put back up. I dont curse, im never naked, and I dont show guns on my channel. I think it will get reversed. Im pretty steamed about it though.
That Home Theater Dude some people are jealous . Thats 1 of the problims some times. do not worry about it. Just keep going.. !!!
Im annoyed but I'll keep going
That Home Theater Dude i can believe that . Just dont care , you are better 😎
Yea wasn't your video about the Aura 3D demo disc or something? Flagged makes no sense? Couldn't you just fight it? My whole channel is demonitized now so I don't care... Was that the issue though? It got demonitized?.
Thought miss showing this part in last video
What happens with your other video?
Someone flagged it at "inappropriate" I have no idea why. Bunch of haters out there.
As you can tell im really salty about it right now....
That Home Theater Dude that’s not nice. That’s the downside of TH-cam I didn’t see anything wrong.
That Home Theater Dude Damn Bro... inappropriate...? Really? We're talking about HT and stereo so WTF...?
exactly
Yamaha RX-V683
Hope this works :)
Klipsch is no longer good enough for your taste? Rip klipsch
Maybe. Im gonna test them against each other against one another as I get them. I have the atmos and towers now all i have to do is test em! Center and surrounds are coming.
My friend, in other words... bye bye klipsch??
You know me so well
That Home Theater Dude Klipsch are the entry level they are good but the more you know you want more.
I move from my Klipsch to B&Ws no I want the monitors audio silver.
I dont know about entry level, but yes they are widely popular
That Home Theater Dude I think they are popular because they are good. But they are entry level I enjoy while a had them. I was fan of Klipsch close where I live is the Klipsch museum
Im going on the klipsch pilgrimage in may!
Go a while, i get budget for new AV-amplifier and speakers of course, i m not a millionaire and i dont do videos but i am heir, what bring for me money.
I dont get paid to do these videos, but its fun
That Home Theater Dude i understand, i have fun watch these. ☺
Can't see half of what he is talking about. Sorry but it wasted my time.
what are you trying to see?
The Last Jedi??? Gross.
