[cloudbuster]

ridikas where you got that info about the tweeter and sub I cant find any Spec on this speakers.

Hi guys -

Sorry for the short news black-out on the Ultra series.

We wanted to make sure the Ultra-series debut was absolutely perfect, so we went through the time and expense of doing a limited-scale production run. This pushed the schedule to the right a few weeks, but it was worth the effort to have 100% confidence the speakers were going to be flawless.

Every model in the Ultra family looks, sounds and measures phenomenal, and we're all super excited with the extreme quality and performance value these new speakers will deliver.

After confirming the pilot production run was perfect, we moved ahead with a full-scale production run, and all models will be in-stock and shipping in mid-January. We'll be getting the product pages up in the interim with full specs, so keep an eye on our website and FB page for additional details over the next few weeks.

We appreciate your patience and interest in the Ultra-series and it won't be much longer now!

Thanks for the news Ed.

 

[Ed Mullen]

We're currently looking at a target date of o/a 12/26 to have the full product pages up and to be accepting pre-orders.

Speakers - SVS

The Ultra Tower delivers a deep and detailed soundstage with incredible resolution, absolute transparency, and amazingly rich and articulated bass – outperforming other brands costing two and three times their price.

Let's see if they can compete with the more sensitive Paradigm studios 100 (two times their price).

That 45-day risk-free trial is tempting.

 

[inikad]

Yes, really tempting. I will wait availability for the SVS canadian retailer and, if they offer the same policy, will probably give them a try.

 

[NewHTbuyer]

I just placed my preorder for a pair of Ultra Towers. Hopefully the Jan 18 ship date will be legit. Can't wait.

 

[mike c]

i sold my MBS-02 in anticipation of this, but am using my old KEF Q1's while i wait for my Ultra Bookshelves.

(i can't believe i used to like these Q1's, those are going to get sold as soon as my Ultra bookshelves arrive)

 

[Adam]

I struggle with if these will be any better than my NHTs. Same size drivers, and adjusting for inflation, similar in price. Forgetting about inflation...it would cost $3700 to swap out my speakers with these. Yikes.

since speakers are subjective, only you can decide this, and luckily for you guys stateside ... there's a no risk 2 way free shipping for you to try them at your home.

i have to buy blind.

 

[Adam]

i have to buy blind.

But...don't you sell them?

 

[mike c]

But...don't you sell them?
