<p><img class="story_image" src="http://www.stereophile.com/images/RMAF_SVS_600.jpg" /></p> SVS Sound’s Gary Yacoubian explained that his company’s speakers are designed to combine the dynamics of a home theater system with the neutrality of an audiophile system. “When voicing the speakers, we used real music that real people listen to in their homes.”
<p>
The company’s Ultra Tower loudspeaker ($1998/pair) is a 3.5-way design with a 1” aluminum dome tweeter; two 6.5” midrange drivers, each in its own enclosure; and two 8" horizontally opposed woofers. Fit and finish seemed very good.
</p><p>
The speakers were partnered with Mark Levinson amplification and an Oppo universal player. Listening to an SACD of Norah Jones’ “Cold Cold Heart,” I noted a stable soundstage, but felt the highs were too forward and the lower frequencies out of step with the rest of the music.
