Not Bad At All

Very clear dialogue. Slightly on the bright side compared to my Polks but generally meshes well. Avoids the harshness that is characteristic of many Klipsch speakers. Possibly among the best center channel speakers at this price point. So far it's a keeper. Arrived with a small defect in the cloth cover but Crutchfield offered an accommodation. I deducted one star for build quality issue.

SVS Prime Home theatre system

I decided 2020 was the year to upgrade my home theatre experience. I had not made an upgrade in 17 years having been happy enough with a Polk 5.1 system w Yamaha AVR and 50" TV. Not high end by any means but serviceable. With a $3500 Budget and after a lot of research I decided on a SVS system - Prime Bookshelf, Prime Center, Prime Elevation, SB 1000 and a pair of Bose 300 for rear. I won the Bose a year ago and thought they would do for rear surrounds. Coupled this w a 60" Samsung TV and Onkyo TN-NR696 AVR. The physical setup/cableing was not too difficult. It took a while to dial in the Onkyo after a firmware update. Finally complete I put it through its paces. The sound clarity and accuracy is amazing to my ears. The Center channel has alleviated my difficulty w hearing dialogue during movie action scenes, the Atmos sound effects is incredible, movie sound effects coming from all over the room, the bass is strong and not booming. Its a great home theatre experience. I also enjoy Jazz and Classical music. Listening in 2 channel stereo mode I find the SVS to be pretty good. The highs are a little harsh but I think after time that will improve. I have a 2 channel audiophile grade HK amp and RBH speaker system for listening to vinyl that I like a little more. I don't think I could be happier for the money spent for a home theatre. Crutchfield s rep was helpful for the purchase & the help desk walked me through a configuration problem on a Sat eve !

SVS Prime Center Speaker

Added this speaker to my recently purchased set of Prime Towers. Was quite satisfied with the Paradigm Center speaker I had been using BUT the new towers had so impressed me that I wanted to add the new center speaker to see if it made a difference too. Man did it ever ..... I simply love all the speakers I've purchased from SVS. (Bought an SVS Subwoofer a couple years ago.) Top flight sound from ALL of them! And AS ALWAYS top flight service from Crutchfield!

Awesome!

Using this prime center with prime elevation as my L/R speakers on my 7.2 surround system. This center speaker is beyond my expectations, the clarity of the dialogue and the craftsmanship are second to none IMO.

Fantastic clariry

The Prime Center has made a big difference to our TV and movie watching. Very impressed. It replaced our previous center speakers, and this is a whole new ballgame. We still use closed captions for movies, but we don't look at them nearly as often, mostly just when there are foreign accents. And it's cool-looking, too. Highly recommended.

SVS Prime Centers for stereo music

Because my #2 stereo system is on a shelf and the speakers must sit close to the wall I prefer to use good quality 3 way full range center channel speakers. I have owned 7 SVS subs in the past and now have 3 in use including 2 SB1000's with my new Prime Centers.I completely trust the SVS brand. The speakers I replaced were 2 Def Tech CS-8060HD (bought from Crutchfield) about 5 years ago. I am very pleased so far with these speakers. My choice was excellent. I researched many weeks for the Def Tech replacements and spent a lot of time on Crutchfields website. Now I am ready for 2 Prime Pinnacle's in the near future for my #1 system. I will contact Crutchfield again. I love their 2 day shipping and customer service.

Very clean and clear

Very clean and clear sound. Replaced a older B&W center channel speaker. It is heavy and I installed above the TV on a glass shelf. Just know this before buying if you are installing above the TV. I don't have any issue from the weight on the glass shelf this just a FYI. I have a mixed speaker setup of Klipsch, B&W, NHT and now my new SVS prime center channel. Works extremely well with a verity of speakers. Fits right in. I will be buying the SVS prime hieght speakers at some point

SVS Prime Center

I had bought the prime satellite bundled with the SB1000 and it sounded really good but the highs didnt stand out enough to hear dialog clearly so I bought this center channel and upgraded to the SB2000PRO and I'm seriously impressed. Highs are natural and crisp and carry alot of detail with them. You really cant go wrong buying SVS products.

Finally - exceptional clarity in center channel

Replaced a Klipsch RP-250C with this SVS Prime center channel speaker; 5.1 home theater system powered by a Marantz SR-6010 AVR.The Prime center speaker is outstanding with excellent clarity for dialogue. The 3-way speaker configuration in this center channel greatly improves the critically important center channel better than anything else I have heard or auditioned. Prior to installing this we complained often about difficulty in understanding softly spoken dialogue - no longer a problem. Musical material handled perfectly too. This performs extremely well with the SVS SB-3000 subwoofer handling everything below 60Hz (determined by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatic room acoustic correction). The piano gloss black finish is beautiful but basically lost among the equipment positioning. Extrememly happy with this speaker!

Very clear dialogue

Upgrading from an old Sony satellite speaker system with clarity of TV/movie dialogue the primary goal. Tested this against a Polk CS10, Klipsch RP 500c, DefTech CS9040, and B&W HTM6. Placement: inside a BDI 8779 cabinet. AV receiver: Yamaha RX-A750. Polk is great for the price and blows my satellite "center" speaker away. However, the clarity does not match the other ones tested. Klipsch and B&W produced a little too much bass which muffled the voices despite trying multiple settings on my AVR--treble/bass, crossover. DefTech clarity was further muffled by the bass radiator on top-when placed in the cabinet, it created too much reverb. SVS Prime produced the clearest dialogue, and at a reasonable price. Very happy with the product and Crutchfield's customer support.

Clean sound

Replaced an aging Boston acoustics center speaker. Aging isn't the word! After set up I talked with your advisor Tim, and we decided to move system set-up from small to large. Whoa! Well balanced sound and crystal clear voice. Gives my amp something to do now! Looking at subs now. Uh oh,here we go...

Outstanding Center Speaker

Wow!!! Blows the Klipsch center channel speaker I had, away!!! My wife didn't know I upgraded the speaker and when I fired up the system to watch a movie for the first time after the swap out, she asked what I had done because the voices were so clear! Huge difference. Luv my SVS sub too. Now need to save for some SVS towers.
