SVS Speakers or Something Else? Absolutely Newbie.


I’m looking for 7.1 speakers for my home theatre and budget is $2000. Since I know very little about speakers, receiver, etc. I went to seek help.

People suggested SVS Prime bookshelf speaker (I asked for bookshelf since wife does not like those big ones), SVS Prime satellite speakers SVS Prime center speakers and Hsu research VTF-2 MK5 subwoofer.

 

Then I saw a post of SVS and Their Marketing Practices at Head-Fi forum:

Is SVS a brand I can trust or shall I start looking for something else?

 

Thanks.

I have never heard the SVS, so I can't comment on their sound quality.
But, I would consider some of the Vandersteen bookshelf or on wall speakers. It would be hard to go wrong with them, though anything in the bookshelf/small form speaker would be best served with a sub woofer.

If you can afford Vandersteen, then go for it.   If not, you would be well served by checking out Elac.

2nd,

Vandersteen (Vandy) or Elac. Consider a REL subwoofer.
Happy Listening!
