SVS PRIME PINNACLE BACKGROUND:
The ultimate expression of what SVS sought to accomplish with its Prime Series speakers, Prime Pinnacle delivers audiophile refinement and musicality without sacrificing wide dynamic range; deep, effortless bass and all the excitement of a world-class loudspeaker.
Deploying multiple cost-no-object design elements, Prime Pinnacle features an all-new driver array with all-new 5.25-inch midrange, three 6.5-inch woofers housed in separate ported sub-enclosures and a high-performance 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. Prime Pinnacle’s all-new midrange includes a glass-fiber composite cone and other design elements from the reference SVS Ultra Series speakers to ensure an expansive soundstage with accuracy, slam and impact.
Prime Pinnacle’s trio of woofers deliver massive output and impressive low frequency extension to lay the sonic foundation for all audio content. Engineered to convey the full thrill and excitement of cinematic blockbusters yet refined enough to render the pluck of a bass guitar string and subtlest musical details with convincing realism, Prime Pinnacle delivers a bold full-range listening experience with all audio content. By using three 6.5-inch woofers, each with its own 2-inch port, the new floorstanding speaker effortlessly conveys LFEs and musical bass, while maintaining a slim, room-friendly footprint.
Three unique port tuning frequencies and separate sub-enclosures for the trio of 6.5-inch woofers epitomize the no compromise approach taken with Prime Pinnacle. This design ensures all drivers blend seamlessly together so you get silky-smooth transitions from the midrange to woofers as well as accurate frequency response, audiophile refinement and crisp speed in transients; all without sacrificing deep, room-energizing bass.
Crystal clear highs with lifelike realism emanate from the 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter. Light and efficient, the tweeter’s airy’ presentation effortlessly reveals musical and cinematic details with unerring clarity and accuracy, even at reference volume. The FEA-optimized diffuser ensures broad dispersion for a wide and convincing soundstage with pinpoint on- and off-axis frequency response so everyone in a home theater or listening room is treated to the same world-class audio experience.
Unique to SVS, the SoundMatch 3-Way crossover is tuned so each driver; from tweeter to midrange and midrange to woofers, blends seamlessly for an expansive soundstage with accurate frequency response, precise imaging and the largest “sweet spot” possible. The crossover’s topology is consistent with all SVS speakers so Prime Pinnacle is timbre-matched to integrate with any speaker from the acclaimed Prime or Ultra Series for the ultimate flexibility when building a home theater speaker system.
Sonically inert and rigidly braced, Prime Pinnacle’s cabinet includes four self-contained, acoustically tuned internal chambers to eliminate any potential for resonances or sonic artifacts. Tapered edges on the Prime Tower speaker’s front baffle, known as chamfers, and flush-mounted drivers minimize edge diffraction for a clear and precise soundstage, while features like shorting rings and a tweeter diffuser provide acoustic enhancements with modern, high-end visual appeal.
A classically striking tower speaker design, Prime Pinnacle has a rated bandwidth of 29Hz-25kHz (+/-3dB) and features 5-way binding posts and a cloth grille with pin/cup retention system. The floorstanding speaker comes in a stunning Piano Gloss Black finish or premium Black Ash wood grain finish.
I absolute love my SVS Ultra speakers. So far I have the Ultra Center, and the Ultra bookshelf's as my left and right speakers with a PB-2000 sub. I have demoed my setup with music, movies, and games to all my friends, family and even some of my co-workers. Every single one of them had their jaws drop at how clear the voices sound, how hard the bass hits, and how room filling the sound is. My goal is to get an all SVS 5.2.2 system in place which I can't wait to hear. All I can say is thank you Gary Yacoubian and all the people that work at SVS for making such amazing products. Wish all the best to you Gary and the SVS team.
Thank you for the comment and for choosing SVS, we love making jaws drop! Sounds like an amazing system you're putting together!
Yes I have the same speakers but what do you have as a receiver or amp? I currently have a denon but wondering if there is something better which I'm sure there is
Love my Prime Pinnacles and Prime Towers
Thanks, Gary! Another phenomenal SVS product. Thanks for listening to all our feedback, and keep up the great work! 😊👍
Oh boy am I in love now. Breath taking speakers indeed.
I wish SVS would run a sale on their speakers at least once or twice a year or offered the center channel free with a set of pinnacle towers and I would jump all over it!
SVS brought the sexy to the Prime Series! Can't wait to see some videos of owners letting those 3 woofers flex!
Awesome review ! Just started my budget audio review utube channel 3 months ago and i have gone almost broke buying so much stuff from receivers to integrated amps and all separates with big horsepower 2 channel Amps and lots of speakers , been an audiophile for 31 years wish I had the extra money to buy these to review I bet they all sound Great, the design is amazing I must say and all that enthusiastic craftsmanship and hard work that went into tuning the box and ports and crossovers for the speakers wow SVS! Thanks for making HIFI reachable to us hard working pay check to paycheck workers , it would be honored to try any of these 3 towers on my 5 different amps and then have a full detailed review with sound demo .SVS Bringing affordable hifi to the next level of powerful performance !
Wish you offered the Floor standing speakers in white! i just love that clean piano gloss white finish. Even a copper or stainless steel finish would look amazing!
I have the svs pc12 plus sub and it is amazing. I have it paired with Klipsch RF-7 II speakers. These seem like the Klipsch RF-63 speakers with 3 6.5” woofers and I never got to hear them but a lot of people say they sound great and nothing like a typical Klipsch speaker. I wish you luck svs with your new speaker and if it is anything like your sub, I’m sure it is something special.
Anyone watching this, and you want something BEAUTIFUL, sound great, and affordable, then get SVS speakers and subs. You will not regret it.
And get the piano black, don't even think twice. You'll love it!
Thanks!
I am THRILLED with my decision to go with the Pinnacles. Best sounding speakers I've ever heard. I am now a HUGE SVS fan & I'm slowly building up an all SVS surround sound set up. I cannot wait to add an SVS sub & rear Prime Bookshleves to my system
Thanks for the props, we're very proud of what we accomplished with the Prime Pinnacles and glad to hear you're enjoying!
I am a new SVS customer and I’m completely sold. I am running a stereo setup using the Prime Soundbase, Prime bookshelf, and a pair of SB1000 subwoofers. I hate to sound like a commercial, but I didn’t know my music could sound this good. I guess if I had a big pile of cash I could throw at it, I could probably come up with something that sounds better, but it’s hard to imagine I could do any better.
Thanks for the comment, really appreciate the props and the role we played in helping you enjoy music more!
Running all prime system 5.2.2 Towers plus center 4 satellites and 2 PB-1000s. Very happy.
Wow, looks like a great tower, I like the fact that it had got the mid range's cone from the ultra series, I was thinking about buying ultra bookshelf, but now i might change my decision. love svs.
I don't own anything besides the sb2000 and i can say that my pinnacles are coming in friday. I can tell you this...SVS is the way to go!
Thanks for choosing SVS, if you like the SB-2000, you'll love what the Prime Pinnacles can do!
SVS I am considering switching my Prime towers to the Pinnacles. I will be testing the Primes tomorrow once they get delivered.
Excellent video ! You answered all of my questions about these speakers. But you forgot a sound demo ...
I love the power handling numbers. A couple of NAD amplifiers bridged will be just fine for these.
Looks like I need to start saving my pennies lol ! Seriously though, I'm excited to see what other reviewers have to say before I buy. I have several Svs speakers but no towers yet !
I have these hooked up to the Sony STR-DH550 and they sound amazing. I upgraded to Denon receiver s970h thinking I could get even better and it was a major downgrade. I actually went on eBay and bought one of the last new Sony 550 still in the box because I know mine will crap out eventually, the 145 wattage really makes these speakers shine even if actual measured wattage is a little lower.
These are the towers I've been waiting for!!! I have the Ultra bookshelves on a denon. Will I need an external amp to run the towers? Or will I just want one for more headroom?
I live in a townhouse and my living room shares a wall with neighbor. What would be best for home theater without disturbing neighbors. I was looking at these prime pinnacles without a subwoofer vs ultra bookshelves with a subwoofer (possibly dual subs gain set low). Would these pinnacles go low enough for movies. What would you recommend?
The Prime Pinnacles can go down to around 35 Hz, which is plenty low for most movies. If you did want a little extra bass, you could opt for a 3000 micro or SB-1000 Pro with the Isolation System to reduce room vibrations and bass being heard in adjacent rooms.
When release date in UK? This one which I am really waiting for :) because ultra towers to big for my room, just measured Prime Pinnacle fits spot on
Our UK distributor has the Prime Pinnacle speakers already. Please contact them directly for specific availability. Thanks for the interest! karma-av.co.uk/contact/
svs med trippla basar köpte dem förra året i maj de låter bara bättre och bättre✨
At your price points, Why is there no magnetic grills?
You can turn any speaker grills into magnetic grills for maybe $10 bucks. Just buy Neo magnets at homedepot or lowes, some glue and boom.
I would like to know what would be the proper choice for a small listening room 12 by 14ft, Prime or the Pinnacle. Not for home theatre just strictly for 2 channel music. i will be using a Sansui G 8000 receiver 120 watts. Thanks for your help!
Hi - For a room of that size, Prime Towers would have plenty of output to fill the space. Upgrading to Pinnacles would get you deeper low frequency extension and a fuller soundstage from the extra woofer and more capable midrange driver.
Looks amazing... How easy will they be to drive for a 3.1 channel setup? Would I need external amplification or would any modern AVR like Denon work?
A normal Denon AVR will work great - the Pinnacle can be driven by any receiver or amp putting out between 25-300 watts.
How does the Pinnacle and ultra towers compare to the new goldenear Triton one.r towers?
If the pinnacle had two 8 inch bass drivers, a midrange driver and a tweeter housed in a cabinet with a physical presence (at least 43inches tall) it would be an instant hit. I love the pinnacles but I want RP 8000f version of the same. Pinnacles are good looking, seem to have great specs but are too tiny.
I am from India.
I want to buy this product.
Where I can buy this product?
I have dual svs pb13 ultra subs, Should I buy ultra towers or pinnacles? and if ultras, Are the ultra bookshelfs similar to ultra towers if crossover at 80?
Apologies for the delayed response. Depending on your room layout, I would recommend the Pinnacles since they are easier to place and would give you a greater midrange presence over the Ultra Bookshelf speakers. Biggest difference between Ultra Towers and Pinnacles is dynamic output and low frequency extension, but with dual PB13s, that shouldn't be an issue.
So if I wanted to run a 5.0 system with the pinnacles would I use the ultra bookshelves and center or the primes center and bookshelves
Either would work. Go with the Ultras if you have a large room or really like to crank it.
I love SVS all products
Knocked it out the park again. How about a pro cinema range for dedicated theatres on the lines or procella etc?
We're still growing as a home audio brand but certainly wouldn't rule out a foray into the pro cinema world in the future.
SVS sorry meant speakers for dedicated home theatre like triad, procella, jtr, monsters that can play at reference designed to go behind screens
I'd be feeling like I'm upgrading & downgrading @ the same time if I switched over to this from my Ultra Bookshelfs.
Please for the love of god, you guys are the god of subwoofers and quality speakers. You are a high end company and approved by the avs forum
(which is a very hard thing to achieve because they burn like every other company to the ground). So please fix your recordings...
Thanks for the feedback, we're getting a new mic so all future recordings will sound better. Our apologies it took this long.
They look great! I would add that the Ultra towers are just about ready for an update...
Any plans for Ultra towers 2.0?
Not in the immediate future, but we hear you.
Time for the ultra update. At this point I don't want to pull the trigger on a full set because it's going to happen
@@SVS_Sound I would actually love an ultra tower with the same MTM but perhaps a compromise to some extent on the low end for space constraints. I have ultra bookshelfs and center as front soundstage, 4 prime elevations ceiling mounted and ultra surrounds on way, pb-2000 also going to upgrade to dual pros. I would love to complete the 7.2.4 ultra set with towers but honestly dont think i have room, I have considered the pinneacles but i feel bumping ultra bookshelfs to rear surround for even the best prime speaker a bit of a step backwards no? So Im considering just getting 2nd pair of ultra bookshelfs for rears also what do you think of the 3 options? Ultra towers but a bit space constrained or pinneacles? Either way ultra surround as side and then ultra bookshelf goes to rear, or just ultra bookshelf for mains and rear? medium sized room sorry for the long post .
Please send these to zreviews
The SVS ultra look horrid they look like the hunchback of Notre Dame. The pinnacles are freaking gorgeous though and would definitely look good sitting next to some dual SVS subs. Hopefully one day you guys will make a bigger better heavier duty pinnacle and I will definitely jump on that in a heart beat
make something like klipsch rf 7 ver 3,then I m in
Why? just buy RF7 if you want those
Time to start using magnetically attached grills to clean up the front of the towers.
I am hearing a lot of distortion in this video, is it from my speakers?
There shouldn't be distortion but we'll review again and see if we can clean it up at all.
I'm hearing it too on some peaks. No one needs to drive digital levels to 0, its just silly.
Next year, I'm in
I hear SVS speakers are known to be a little on the bright side. Debating between the Prime towers and the Monitor Audio Bronze 6.
No way. If anything, it's warmer sounding although I think it's about neutral. I have the Ultra Towers and had the Ultra Bookshelves as well.
That's good to know. Wish they come in other colors. Not sure if I want a pair of tall charcoal in my living room.@@totalbliss1
The Pinnacles are actually generally described as the opposite (warm) by every professional reviewer I’ve seen due to the subtle roll off at high frequencies. I would agree they are less bright than say B&Ws. I love the sound signature of the Pinnacles. The tweeters aren’t too bright that it’s fatiguing, but they still have excellent clarity and detail, even at low volume.
Miss Venjay, miss Vanjay, miss Vanjay! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
sooo from the hundreds and hundreds of customers you interact with no one has ever mentioned magnetic grills? 🙄 I mean these are $900 speakers here. The ultras are $1300! I’ve seen $50 speakers with magnetic grills lol
talks about accuracy and musically, then made bass reflex cabinet, -facepalm-
SVS - "we're all about great sound quality at a price range where most people can reach"
But you guys cannot afford a $150 RODE mic to record this video.... wut da fuck?
The mic has been upgraded since this video. We'll admit it took too long but the sound won't be an issue going forward. Thanks for the feedback.
Why grill are not magnetic? Fat minus for that.
The biggest reason is that it adds significant cost.
@@SVS_Sound Do SVS plans to release refreshed SVS Prime Pinnacle in near future?
Start by making videos without the microphone distorting in your videos.
Thanks for the feedback, we just upgraded our mic, so all future videos will sound a lot cleaner.
Great speaker
Atm I'll get Klipsch RP series for half the price
Buy Klipsch and get your money's worth
