I have the Svs SB3000 and have enjoyed it for some time. Adding these two to the front channel has expanded and refined the way i experience sound. Also added the ultra center speaker afterwards just because of how excellent these bookshelf speakers were.

I regularly visit and kibbutz with the folks that work at the Magnolia Audio sub-store at the Mt. Laurel, NJ, particularly Will and Brian. They know I have the audiophile addiction and I am always tweaking my three (3) hifi kits (office, home office & parlor). My parlor set-up was bothering me. I had slapped it together with leftover pieces and was slowly replacing the unsatisfactory (well, to me) pieces when I strolled into Magnolia and began looking at speakers to fill the 16 x 14 room. The small Monitor Audio Silver 50s were too small to provide fullness for the space and I needed to improve the sound to reflect the other system upgrades (including an tweaked Rega Planar 3 and Technics SU-G700 Integrated amp--both excellent and both available at Magnolia). The problem was that I was under strict orders to not turn the parlor into another "media" room and was mandated to buy bookshelfs or stand speakers. Listening to the usual suspects such as the B &W 600/700 series and the small Martin Logans, I heard scant improvement over the Silver 50s and was ready to give up when Brian says, "We just got these on an open box return--I love them, they're SVS Ultras".....HUH? They make subs, or so I thought. I listened to them with and without an REL subwoofer (similar to my home kit), and concluded this speaker at about $1,000 bucks a pair is unreal. The detail, the quality and the sound, full and clear. The REL sub-woofer, set at 80htz, complimented their excellent low end, not overpower it. Perhaps because SVS makes renowned subwoofers that they know how to tune speakers for the rest of the spectrum. I was hooked. Don't get me wrong, these are substantial stout speakers weighing in at 20 pounds, but they deliver like a tower. I placed them on sturdy Audiosource 28" pedestal glass and steel stands, tweaked the sub and music filled the parlor, the high end was no slouch either, but the fullness of the mid-range was phenomenal. Thank you Will & Brian and Magnolia/BestBuy for once again delivering for me. A ++++.

These are WONDERFUL speakers. They image very well and are very detailed as well as articulate. The bass is clean and tight (although adding a sub will help tremendously, as it does with any bookshelf speaker), the mids are present enough to hear all the detail without sounding muddy, the highs are clear and airy. Great for music or home theater. Beautiful design. I’m very impressed. They sound comparable to speakers much more expensive such as B&W 705.
