Features & Specs Line Circle

SoundMatch 3.5-way crossover for better dispersion and integration
20-250 watts
Airy, accurate treble from the 1" aluminum dome tweeter
The tweeter’s diffuser and rigid dome design enhance clarity and transient snap, keeping highs open and detailed without sounding thin.
True midrange purity with a sealed 4.5" driver compartment
By isolating the midrange in its own sealed chamber, the Prime Tower reduces coloration and improves vocal realism, dialogue intelligibility, and instrument texture.
Authoritative bass from dual 6.5" woofers and dual rear ports
Long-stroke woofer design and wide-flared ports deliver deeper extension and stronger impact while preserving articulation for bass lines and cinematic effects.
Full-range capability for music and home theater
With a rated bandwidth of 30 Hz–25 kHz (±3 dB), the Prime Tower provides convincing weight and sparkle, whether used in stereo or as the foundation of a surround system.
Cabinet engineering that supports clean imaging
Chamfered edges, flush-mounted drivers, optimized bracing, and diffraction-conscious grilles all work together to reduce resonance and edge effects for clearer placement and a more stable soundstage.

SVS Prime Tower Speaker

The SVS Prime Tower is a reference-grade floorstanding speaker built to deliver airy, detailed highs, richly textured mids, and convincing low-end impact that brings music and movies to life. Its carefully engineered driver array—anchored by a 1" aluminum dome tweeter, a dedicated 4.5" midrange in a sealed sub-enclosure, and dual 6.5" woofers—creates a wide, stable soundstage with clear dialogue and pinpoint imaging across a large listening area.

At the heart of its performance is the SVS SoundMatch 3.5-way crossover, which uses a tapered woofer array so each woofer is filtered for smoother integration, better dispersion, and a more consistent experience throughout the room. Add in dual wide-flared rear-firing ports for deep, accurate bass and a cabinet engineered to reduce diffraction and resonance, and you get a tower speaker that feels equally at home in a high-end 2-channel setup or a powerful home theater front stage. The SVS Prime Tower Speakers are part of ListenUp's SVS Floor Standing Tower Speakers Collection.

What It's Good At:

  • Producing big, room-filling sound with precise imaging and a broad sweet spot
  • Delivering clean, crisp dialogue and vocals with a dedicated sealed midrange chamber
  • Creating airy, unveiled treble detail that stays smooth even at higher volumes
  • Providing deep, articulate bass impact with dual 6.5" woofers and rear-firing ports
  • Blending seamlessly with AV receivers and amps thanks to an 8-ohm load and sensible power range
  • Elevating systems with premium crossover parts and resonance-reducing cabinet engineering
