I replaced Bose Jewel speakers with Prime Elevations and am blown away. These guys handle home theater better than expected and embarrassed Bose both musically and movie!
Rich and powerful with some bass too! They actually sounded pretty good as main speakers as I set them up first just to check them out. The mounting hardware that came with them worked perfectly. They have some weight so use anchors to mount. I’m using them as front and rear surround and may get 2 more for ceiling but at this point I don’t think I need that. They fill the room nicely. The Prime Elevations are extremely well built and I mounted them on the wall and angled them down into the room. I cannot now imagine a better speaker for this purpose. I would use these for ceiling, height or atmos as well as surround, I realize I had many options in this arena but surround speakers don’t handle the meat of the soundstage they are accent speakers do spending a small fortune on surrounds didn’t make sense, either did skimping. SVS really put a great sounding high quality speaker out here that honestly could be used as main bookshelf type speakers , they that good. But real Home Run here besides sound and quality is the the angle option (up/down) and the best mounting option I ever saw ( easier less complicated than Bo$e).
Highly recommended. They are a special little speaker that fills my room!

Went from a 7.1 system to a 7.1.2 system with these prime elevation speakers. and all i can say is wow. Atmos adds a whole new level to your home theater surround sound experience. And boy does it sound good. SVS is a very, very, very good speaker company. I would highly recommend them

For small speakers they are impressive. They are perfect for Atmos if you dint want to add ceiling speakers. These can be mounted on the side walls or ceiling.

These Prime Elevation's really round out the over all experience for true Dolby Atmos sound. Heard the difference immediately after tuning everything in.

Had ceilings before and didn’t want to cut any holes in my new house had these mounted on the ceilings and the sound is definitely better especially overhead!!

Great set of speakers. Amazing versatility that enables them to be used as Atmos speakers. Sound quality is good for surrounds. Only knock is the price, it’s definitely too expensive for what you get. Price gets even worse if you go with a nicer finish like we did with the white gloss. I picked up JBL 530 for side surrounds and they are amazing ($150 for the pair during Black Friday!). I would recommend those better if planning to use them as bookshelf speakers.

Great for Atmos. My room has cathedral ceilings so it’s a challenge to get that kind of effect. This planet does a great job.

As Atmos speakers they are fantastic. They can be used as bookshelf; however, they are thin on bass. A subwoofer will need to be used with them. The prime elevation speakers also work fantastic when using for nearfield purposes. These speakers are crisp without being fatiguing. They have a nuetral sound; with a solid build. They have a small footprint with great imaging and a decent sound stage. They are expensive but very versatile. Worth every penny; especially when they are on sale.

I’m using the prime elevation speakers as a back surround sound speakers. They have a bracket on the back of them which makes it easy to attach to the wall without buying any other mounting brackets. I also have the ultra bookshelves and the ultra center and a SB 2000 subwoofer all from SVS. I did not want to spend a whole lot on surround speakers so I went with the prime elevation speaker, glad I did they sound great. And if I decide to get the Ultra Surround Speakers from svs I can use these as Atmos speakers win-win for me.

I usually don't hand out 5 star reviews, but I think this one is worth it. $399 for a speaker that takes the guess work out of mounting and aiming for Dolby Atmos. I'm here for it. I've spent the last 8 months using ceiling bounce modules that were effective, but not ideal to use with sloped ceilings. I've only got about an hour of demo time with these, but it was enough to annihilate the ceiling bounce in my application.
These provide a quality, full range sound for the height channel and give convincing overhead effects.
The price can seem steep for someone like me, who mainly just buys speakers in the 100 to 200 dollar range. However, this is one that is absolutely worth the cost.

Well, my TXRZ 50 onto how surround back speaker speaker ports for height. They went out at work unless you have an amp external amp. So I put them upfront on top of my SVS Brian pinnacle tower speakers and they are 50% better than my old ones, well worth the money.
Great speakers for surround or height with Dolby A

Bought a pair in June 2018. One of the best purchases I've made to upgrade my entertainment system. I have them coupled with a Pioneer Elite VSX-LS303 as my Atmos height speakers. The sound is off the charts. Very smooth, clear and soft when watching movies through Samsung UBD M9500 4K player. I would recommend buying a pair to enhance any system or set-up you might have.

The most versatile speakers I've ever owned. Put them anywhere- on a shelf, on the wall, in the ceiling. I'm using them as surround speakers. They are on the wall facing downward in the middle of my living room. Music or movies, it doesn't matter, they do the job. Of course the bass isn't the greatest, but they aren't meant for that. As long as you have a subwoofer or main speakers with good bass, they do what they are designed for. Mounting brackets are included, which adds to their value.
