SVS Ultra Evolution 3-Way Center Channel Speaker - Each (Black Oak)

I love this center channel the vocals are so good and the quality is really good especially for the money.Shipped really fast and couldn’t even tell it was an open box.

Nicely packaged and superior sound. Came on time and seemed brand new even though it was sold as refurbished.

Powerful center speaker as good as you can get at any price. Vary impressive.

Excellent center channel It even makes dialog on mediocre streaming shows sound excellent

I'm not sure if this is a sign of how much snake oil is in the audiophile industry or if my setup is finally good, but more than once I played music through this speaker completely forgetting and barely noticing that my receiver wasn't switched to 2 channel audio (meaning I almost can't tell the sound isn't coming from my ultra towers). The dispersion on this speaker is nuts and it's extremely clear. Not difficult to drive at all. Sounds good at 80hz or 60hz crossovers. Looks good. SVS nailed it with this one

Upgraded from the Ultra center, which I had for two years. The Evo center is audibly better than the ultra center, without question. I have the Evo set up in my home theater running in a 7.4.4 configuration. When I originally purchased, I figured I wouldn't be able to hear much of a difference between the two speakers - but I was wrong. I'm not saying it's a massive difference or that the Ultra was a bad speaker or anything, but the Evo is simply better. One thing I noticed was a greater degree of authority and fullness from the Evo - voices seem to be slightly more nuanced and fleshed out, with perhaps a slightly warmer tone to them. It should also be noted the Evo is rated at 6 ohms, whereas the Ultra is rated at 8 ohms, meaning the Evo is easier for my XPA Gen 3 amp to drive. At 8 ohms, my amp was providing 275 watts RMS to the Ultra, at 6 ohms my amp is now providing 450ish watts RMS to the Evo. As a result, it sounds like my Evo has more headroom, and perhaps unsurprisingly, a bit more depth and command.

There's a lot of rules audiophiles will tell you matter. The tiny stands to keep cables off the floor. If you tell me you can hear a difference I'll ignore you. You've been assimilated. Using same brands across the front? It matters. Much to my chagrin. From SVS Prime Center to this upgrade is amazing. Now coupled with Primes as L/R I can hear notes in music that were there, but now they are individual, clear and shiny without being tiring. I can decrease the volume with no loss of clarity. When I want to jam this center will blow your hair back. Satisfied. Yes. Amazed? Oh, yes.

Really solid true 3-way center. I bought a number of centers and tried them all out with a mix of movies, shows, and video games. This was 2nd or 3rd place depending on the content. Would have kept it honestly but the Emotiva XC2 actually took the gold in my comparison and was cheaper. Would never hesitate to buy SVS products, packaging, fit & finish were all great. Sounded superior to most other centers in this price range great as well just slightly lacked the details that I got from the Emotiva.
