Older model: the SVS Ultra Bookshelf (ranked lower, rated 3.9/5). See every SVS Ultra and Ultra Evolution generation.
Same family: the SVS Ultra Evolution Nano (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5), the SVS Ultra Evolution Tower (smallest floorstanding, estimated 4.1/5), the SVS Ultra Evolution Titan (floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5), the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle (largest floorstanding, rated 3.8/5), the SVS Ultra Evolution Center (center, estimated 4.1/5) and the SVS Ultra Evolution Elevation (surround, estimated 3.8/5).
Pros: A two way bookshelf speaker with a diamond coated tweeter and deep rated bass for its size, easy to drive with most amps. Two-way rear-ported standmount with a 6.5” composite glass fiber woofer and a 1” diamond-coated aluminium dome tweeter in a time-aligned cabinet. SVS rates it at 40Hz to 40kHz (±3dB), deep bass extension for a bookshelf, with 87dB sensitivity and a 6 ohm nominal load.
Cons: Measured by Stereophile and Audioholics, but not in the Spinorama format used for this ranking, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t yet be compared directly with ranked speakers. A rear port needs some space from the wall.
