It's more important as what sounds the best to you.
I've got the prime pinnacles, playing on a Fosi BT30D Pro. They sound wonderful, and the low end is so competent that I even turn off my SB1000 pro sub and just go with the speakers. They shake my walls while still sounding as clean/clear as i need them to be. Saw them tested on another channel, they actually come in at 91 db.
The RP 8000F ii is one of the most dynamic tower speakers due to its very efficient design at 92dB (without boundary gain). While it has placement issues due to its directional horn design, once dialed in with some toe in provides an immersive, enveloping sound even at lower volumes or with lower powered tube amps.
The 8000f ii lacks bass
@@MasterofPlay7 Agreed but that is exactly why I have paired it with a subwoofer. I think the crossover redesign was thoughtfully done. I’d rather give up some bass in exchange for better overall linearity and high sensitivity.
@@derekf7772 so how's the center imaging and sound staged? Do you get a big soundstage?
@@derekf7772 i got a discount for the RP8000f ii from my company, i wanted the Polk R7 but unfortunately they don't sell that.....
@@MasterofPlay7 soundstage is excellent. Imaging is great (in my seated position). Because of narrow distortion of horn / waveguide, you’re imaging will take a hit if you move too much off axis. I have a Denafrips Ares ii DAC that works well to provide immersive soundstage. I haven’t A B’d this to other speakers so my guess is that other wider dispersion speakers (I.e. Q acoustics) will have better soundstage but I don’t feel I am missing anything from that a standpoint .
SVS is the better designed speaker in terms of both it and the center being 3 way. For me having the better horizonal dispersion out of the center matters more then if my towers are as competent. But it really comes down to what you're doing with them. Obviously if you're a 2 channel guy then you don't care about the center and at that point it comes down to tonality and bass depth if you're not using a sub(s).
How far back are you from your center channel?
SVS at the end of the day sounded too soft and unexciting to me. You need some power and volume to get fuller response from them. They are a distant second to Klipsch in HT. Klipsch are also cleaner and more exciting in 2 channel. I'll stick with klipsch. And yes, I had the svs ultras before and the prime powered now.
Klipsch to me is the overall better speaker because of a few things..Efficiency you don't need a ton of power to push these,, They're not too bright or splashy with the highs, during the sales the deep discounts make some stuff that was out of reach to many reachable. I"m not saying SVS doesnt sound better, because there SB3000 sub is probably the best sub on the plantet for the price point. Im sticking with Klipsch all the way , NOw I may buy a SVS SUB lol
but they said the klipsch is weak on bass extension
Klipsch is a very alive speaker
2:00 Youthman picking the Rp- 8000f ii is the answer you're looking for
Klipsch horn tweeters overpower the other drivers. Even with massive eq. Too brash and harsh at the top end. SVS primes have a much more matched sound and not fatiguing at all which contributes, imo, to them being an overall, more transparent speaker.
No, that horn problem has been solved a long time ago... you are just repeating some old biased stuff from years ago.
In that time... yes klipsch had harsh horns... no longer the problem..
Stop spreading bs when you dont even have such stuff in the first place... probably showboating with bose satellite...
Awesome guys thanks alot. Yeah I'm leaning towards SVS it's time to get rid of klipsch all together. Thanks
If you're not in a rush to do it, wait until SVS' next outlet sale around Black Friday. You can usually get like-new speakers (or with minor blemishes) on the cheap that way. I got a pair of Prime Towers and a Prime Center for about $950 and you get the full warranty, return policy, etc. Ended up liking the sound of those three so much that I picked up 4 Prime Satellites and 4 Prime Elevations and said goodbye to all of my 15+ year old Polks. My only regret is that I should have gone with the Prime Bookshelves instead of the Sats.
@@TheReverendSlimhow do you like the SVS Prime? Is it worth it to go with ultra? Also what would you say about a person that wants to use the SVS Ultra or SVS Prime Center and keep their klipsch towers and surrounds
@@tomconnell7154 I love mine. The SVS ought to pair up nicely with the sound of Klipsches. And the Ultras are on closeout right now so are a good deal.
What about SVS Prime Pinnacle vs Klipsch RP 8000F II vs KLH Kendall vs Polk R700??Which is preferable?
I have the SVS Prime Pinnacle and it sound so great. The bass at 29Hz is fantastic! Audioholics like it so much. I have the Denafrips Pontus 2, 12th anniv. ed., Hegel H190, iFi Zen Stream to drive those. So good to my ears!
Hey guys
Klipsch all the way. No contest for me.
Disappointed with the answers to the question.
The answer should be either or
Yeah, thanks for nothing, guys.
There's a better option. Polk Reserve r700, or even r600 are all around better in same price range.
There's better option Cerwin Vega XL215
@@nathanwells896 You dont get power out of a speaker.
When it comes down to the price of the difference between these two speakers Klipsch RP 8000 fv2 win.. they are much less expensive and if you're lucky you'll find a pair of the rp8000f Mark II for around $700 new in tit for me😊 when the SVS prime pinnacles are never on sale and usually will cost you about $1,600 a pair where the eclipse RPM 8000f v2s can be found for the priced in this comment

This was a HORRIBLE review conversation. The only reason a person would search for this video or have it pushed to them by the algorithm, is because they are unsure and probably not an audiophile. To tell somone to go out and buy a pair of speakers (4000k for all if you dont get them on sale), plus you have to test with subs and a center channel that you haven't bought yet. For a regular joe, he wouldn't know how to equalize to get the maximum potential from these speakers in time to return them. Hence the reason people look to experts for guidance, not to tell listeners to try themselves. This was a sad waste of time!
HORRIBLE reply.
@@patrickmiller4987Great reply.
just buy a set of r700 polks end of story
