Short answer: the Klipsch RP-8000F II. It ranks #138 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $1,159.98; the SVS Prime Pinnacle ranks #149, rated 3.8/5, and costs $1,598, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
Why pick the Klipsch RP-8000F II: A very easy to drive tower with twin 8 inch woofers that stays clean and composed at high home theater volumes. The tradeoff: Mid-bass sounds lean despite the dual 8-inch woofers, and bass extension disappointed for its size: expected to reach 50Hz, didn’t get there in-room.
The case for the SVS Prime Pinnacle: A three-way tower with three woofers in separate chambers, rated for very deep bass at a moderate price. Watch for: At 1044mm tall and 57.1 lbs (25.9 kg) each, this tower requires space and clearance for its three rear-firing ports to prevent boundary room mode loading.
Buy the Klipsch RP-8000F II. It is rated higher for sound quality than the SVS Prime Pinnacle and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
Worth knowing: the SVS Prime Pinnacle has not been measured yet. Its rating is estimated from related models, with a likely range of 3.6 to 4.0, so treat this verdict as provisional.
