The SVS brand has been at the top of the industry based on performance for some two decades, and you will struggle to find a negative review or any sense of dissatisfaction from their customers. Exceptional build quality will save you the trouble of high repair and maintenance costs, unlike other market brands. When you consider all the design and testing that went into these, to have them come up short in the treble area is a disappointment. I value your candor in the review and its always refreshing to see a reviewer tell it like it is rather than just heaping on the platitudes. Nothing beats the SVS brand on sound quality.

A center channel speaker is often considered the most underrated speaker in a home theater surround sound system because it handles the majority of dialogue, vocals, music and sound that’s coming from right in front of you ina movie, but rarely does a home theater center speaker get the same love as tower or bookshelf speakers. Many speaker manufacturers compromise with a two-way design or thin center channel speaker with flimsy drivers as an afterthought, not SVS. The SVS Ultra Center channel speaker flexes serious sonic muscle and is optimized for horizontal placement and elevating the most challenging movie and music content to reference quality. Ultra Driver & Tweeter Design Supports AMD® FreeSync™ on the Xbox Series X™, Xbox® Series S, Xbox One™ X, and PlayStation® 4 Pro consoles Starting from the bottom up, the Ultra Tower speakers feature a proprietary SVS ForceFactor woofer array with two 8-inch drivers horizontally opposed at the base of the speaker for room-filling low-frequency output. Because of the unique shape of the cabinet, each of the woofers fires in a different direction resulting in deep, effortless and accurate bass throughout the listening area. The premium drivers need an equally capable crossover so no expense was spared with the smart SVS SoundMatch 3.5-way crossover. Its tapered array is designed so the top mid driver crosses over to the tweeter while the bottom midrange is crossed over to the woofers to prevent beaming. This results in an expansive yet precise soundstage with frequency response and imaging at all listening positions. Performance Driven Supports pass-through of all HDR (High Dynamic Range) formats for clearer, deeper, more vivid colors: HDR10, 10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, and any prospective HDR formatsWould I be a party pooper to point out that the sensitivity measure was with 2.83 volts which is 2 watts at 4 ohms? manufacturers combined, none of them can sonically hold a candle to the NAD."
