I'm really impressed with these speakers - dynamic and transparent. In my relatively small room, they have surprising bass, and really well defined - not just a low sound, but clear sense of the instrument being played - bass, drum etc. I'm super impressed, and happy to have found them.
@@av_nirvana I did get the 3000 micro, and the 2.1 set-up is a whole other thing: Richer, deeper, jumps higher and runs faster. Or as you noted - a good punch in the gut.
I was just looking for affordable stands for the review since I generally have tower speakers in my system. They’re currently being used as a plant stand and a lamp stand. I appreciate the cable channel down the middle. amzn.to/3RwU6Hp
The entire home (3 levels) is an open loft floor plan, so no room is completely enclosed, with openings at least to the stairwell, and all have concrete floors and lots of hard surfaces. The theater room is about 20' long by 12' wide and 9' ceilings, and acoustically treated to some extent. The bedroom area is about 16' long by 26' wide and 9' ceilings, and the living room area is about 30' long by 26' wide, 9' ceilings. The speakers performed well in all three, but best in the treated theater space, especially with the sub, and in the smaller bedroom space. But they did a commendable job in the largest living room space, having no problems with volume, and would be just fine in that space with a sub and a little more absorption.
Thanks for the video. Did you do measurements with REW to see what frequency response you had at your main listening point ? Written with translator Greetings
Hello! I did not measure. I measure in my theater setup, but 2ch listening is much more subjective and comparative. My 2ch listening room is incredibly challenging and measurements would not likely give an accurate representation anyway.
@@av_nirvana Thank you for the courtesy in answering. As you say, it is still subjective tests since I am sure that the frequency response of the SVS monitors vs. your columns in your room are not at all alike. It is no longer that the SVS have less bass, which is solved with a subwoofer, the issue is that the mid-high zone will have nothing to do between the 2 configurations (yours from your day-to-day living room vs the speakers that keep trying). It would be nice to be able to see some video of a blind test one day having in 2 configurations the same frequency response at the listening point. written with translator Greetings
I’ve been looking for a not-so-complicated sound system for the first week, and accidentally fell down the HiFi rabbit hole… I’ve spent way too much time researching speakers, amps, receivers, cables and much more, and really don’t have time - nor the money to really dive into this hobby (yet). I’m now wondering if I should get these and add a subwoofer later, which will not leave much space for growth or exploration of other speakers. Or the Wireless Pro Soundbase, where I can experiment with different speakers and know it’ll handle it it. With the added bonus that I don’t have to worry about adding an extra DAC, amp, streamer, etc… One thing that makes me lean towards the Pro Soundbase is that I can upgrade my speakers over time, and when it gives out hopefully be able to spend more time and money on other systems. Any suggestions or inputs for someone who’s living in a 1 bedroom apartment?
I'd say either these or the Pro Soundbase are a solid choice. The fact that it's so easy to add a sub when you're ready is a great feature of both. The only thing I'd say to consider is do you WANT the ease of upgrading speakers over time, or do you just want a solid two channel system that you'll be happy with for a long time? Sometimes the ability to easily upgrade makes it easier to travel down that rabbit hole. Either way, SVS also has a very nice, 45-day, in-home, no-hassle return policy.
@@av_nirvana Thanks for your response! Even though it would be nice to have a great "all in one" package, I think I'll go for the Soundbase pro. I like the idea of having the ability to upgrade and test different speakers over time but having the central "brain/ heart" be the same. It will allow me to travel down the rabbit hole at my pace, but with the prime wireless pro, I would be stuck with them with few options for trying new things (except adding a sub). P.S Great review!
Everyone runs these little nano size home theater systems now. When I think of Home Theater I want theater sound, and it isn’t gonna happen with any sound bar and bookshelf speakers… and you can’t just throw a monster sub in the mix and think it’s gonna balance out and provide an experience you can feel, you need that 7.2 360* immersive sound that you will only get with proper sized components and acoustics…
I didn't notice any at all, and I had them playing back for awhile at levels I don't normally listen at. I didn't do any bench tests, though. Real-world listening was clean and clear.
I feel the same way about dts play-fi. I have the original prime wireless with an sb 1000 sub, and I went and for a WiiM pro streamer/ preamp, and it totally unlocked the power and usability of the prime wireless. Play-fi drops too often and is clunky. The WiiM pro has great software and digital and analog inputs and outputs , and a good sounding dac. Now that I have it I have all the functionality of the pro except for hdmi, which I don’t need in my office where they are located.

Glad you like them! I enjoyed the overall sound quality but my room is just cavernous.

Great review! Thanks!
Thank you much!
Great video, very informative and flowed really well.
Thanks!
Do you mind if I ask what speaker stands are those? Very Nice!

Thanks a lot. Thanks to lot. I would like to know the dimensions of the rooms in which you try and in which of them you feel better

This entire review from start to finish was using these in a 2ch system.
what about upper range distortion due to class D amp ? thanks

I own them, in my apartment they sit between my healing library and I have to say they make the religions of the world sing! 🎶
