Review on ๐Ÿ”Š Enhance Your Audio Experience with SVS Prime Elevation Speakers - Pair (Premium Black Ash) by Dawn Mattheis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Dolby Atmos speakers

I originally gave it 5 stars for durability but it's too early to tell. But the build quality is excellent. They look just as good as my old black and white rear, surround and center speakers that have been around for over 20 years. By the way, they fit pretty much exactly to these speakers. I like their smaller size but they still offer good sound volume. Based on my Marantz AV7703 setup, they are fairly efficient speakers compared to my other speakers, as at the end of the setup the volume of the SVS speakers had to be turned down relatively compared to my other speakers. Added high fronts and sides to Atmos part of version 11.2. The soundstage was immediately expanded and greatly amplified. Now there is a very nice scene across the wall, to the side and behind me. The guide and template helped me set it up quickly. I installed them in the corner of the wall near the ceiling front and side (rather than overhead on the ceiling). Depending on which side you are facing when installing on the mounting plate, it can be difficult to get the speaker pins into the plate. You might want to practice this with the cables connected before doing this. The speaker wire connections are quite extensive, but there's not really room for wall/ceiling mounting with banana plugs. Also, U-shaped wings tend to come loose too easily, so I've found using speaker terminals with pins that fit into the mounting holes and then tightening the brackets is the most reliable and least likely. I've had them for over a month now and I really like them and what they've added to my home theater.
