SVS Ultra Bookshelf Introduction

SVS is known for their legendary subwoofer performance,quite often leading the industry in theperformance per dollar equation. However,when they announced their Ultra Series of speakers with claims of high fidelityand value, I was a bit skeptical. Thiswas especially the case since past speaker offerings from SVS failed to impressme. Thus I just had to get my hands onthe new Ultra Series Bookshelf speakers to see if they were the real deal ornot, especially after hearing Marshall sing his praises about their Ultra Towers. So do they live up to the SVS name?

Design Overview

The ultra cabinet is constructed of sturdy 3/4' MDF with a solid 1' thick front baffle.

The SVS Ultra bookshelf speaker is a two-way, rear ported speaker with a 6.5” glass fiber cone and 1” aluminum dome tweeter. In reality the woofer cone material is nothing more than treated paper upon closer inspection but glass fiber sounds more interesting so I’ll give it to them. The woofer has a nice cast basket frame, substantial motor structure and a vented former to help reduce turbulence at the gap and also provide some degree of cooling for the voice coil. The 1” aluminum dome tweeter features a ferrite motor structure, a plastic phase plug to reduce high frequency break-up mode, and a metal screen to protect it from curious children with prying hands. The crossover is a 2-way, 2nd order electrically symmetric HP and LP featuring an air core inductor and poly capacitor on the tweeter circuit and rugged iron core choke on the woofer. The metalized padding resistor on the tweeter is on its own standoff to improve heat dissipation. This is a little detail often forgotten by lesser designed products. The cores are all orthogonally oriented to reduce crosstalk coupling and the speaker wires are encased in foam padding to eliminate mechanical buzz in the cabinet.

SVS Ultra Drivers

SVS Ultra Internal View

The cabinet is constructed of ¾” MDF instead of the standard 5/8”, with a full 1” thick front baffle where rigidity is needed most, especially since both drivers are countersunk and flush mounted into the baffle to reduce diffraction. The cabinet is further stiffened with a generously sized brace that is firmly affixed to all surfaces instead of the cheap stick style bracing often found on less costly speaker systems. The cabinet is generously stuffed with insulation and I actually had to remove some of it to get a peek of the crossover. The outer surfaces are radiused to reduce diffraction and the grille is constructed of thick MDF instead of cheap flimsy plastic. This provided excellent rigidity and allowed for the grille to be tightly fit onto the frame to reduce losses.

SVS Ultra Bookshelf Back View

This speaker has all of the right parts to make for a good quality design with solid engineering principles to back it up.

The SVS Ultra bookshelf speakers come standard as bi-ampable or bi-wireable, a feature many competitors either lack or charge a premium for. We chose to single amp the speakers for our listening tests.

SVS utilized the National Research Council (NRC) anechoic chamber in Canada to measure and test the Ultra speakers in addition to voice tuning it in real rooms. This speaker has all of the right parts to make for a good quality design with solid engineering principles to back it up.

The SVS Ultra bookshelf speakers come in three finish options {black oak veneer, white or gloss black} and all finishes are real veneer, not vinyl wrap. SVS doesn’t up charge for any of these finishes. Ours came in gloss black which looks exquisite and I highly recommend choosing this finish.

Let’s take a listen to see if they live up to the hype.

Hey all- after being in LCR for almost 2 years, I'll be adding surrounds. My LR are Tekton design Double Impacts and SVS ultra center, should I go SVS Ultra bookshelves or SVS Ultra Surrounds?? I don't see that many reviews for Ultra-Surrounds but Ultra Bookshelves has some many reviews.

Well, the girlfriend and I moved in together a few months ago and I'm finding myself with a nice jump in disposable income from combining expenses, lower insurance in the new zip code, eating at home more, etc. Since she had the speakers on the ceiling, I used that to justify upgrading my pre-pro from a Onkyo PR-SC885P to a Yamaha CX-A5100 for Atmos and converted her old receiver into an amp for them, and I'm actually pretty shocked at the improvement in the overall sound. Now I'm getting that “voice that won't stop” you mentioned… It's been quite a few years since I've upgraded anything, so what the heck…. BTW, Atmos is REALLY cool if you haven't tried it - better than I expected.
A friend of mine has Hsu and his system sounds terrific - but these Ultras are getting SUCH good reviews, I'm really leaning that way, plus between Ed Mullen responding personally to pretty much any issue I've ever had, sending me a new woofer with “running improvements” when I mentioned I heard some bottoming, and giving me a Sledge amp at cost when the original BASH one died, SVS has provided me amazing customer service over the years - it's really hard to go with someone else when I know they have something top notch to sell me at a reasonable price.

Mention that stuff if you contact them. They'll probably offer a discount, especially if you order in multiples.
I've not heard a lot of other very well respected brands but I think I know good sound when I hear it and the Ultras really do sound amazing. They can handle some power, the BS dig surprisingly deep and they both have pinpoint imaging and are very accurate. The tweeters they sourced for them are really, really good. Not harsh or tinny sounding at all and an fea optimized wave guide.
I love mine, if you can't tell…

For that matter, if you can afford a pair of PBU 16's… I'm jealous. There is better pricing from equally respected manufacturers, so you know. Hsu, Rythmik and a few more. I went with Hsu's VTF-3 MK5 dua
