Also it's good to see SVS stepping up their game their speaker designs especially were getting a bit old

Looking forward to some new subs! Pretty sure it won’t be until later in the year.

Haven’t watched this yet. Hope it works!
I saw $3-5k for the range. Also saw something about active drivers. Yikes…
Definitely will look further into these. I like the looks too. Should be available in February I believe.
Ah. They must be showing at the CES.

Gawd, please... don't go all gimmicky. *fingers crossed

We don't need another DefTech / Golden Ear competitor. :rolleyes:

I don't really have a problem with a hybrid active/passive design. Especially considering the reports of how easy their support is.
Just concerned about the Di-pole look. With Woofers, it could serve to create a Cardioid dispersion which may be a win...

Gonna have to wait and see...

What's Ed's username? Perhaps we can summon him for an early preview tease? :)

Those arent bipole or dipole. I believe they are dual opposing woofers

Just my instinct when I saw the Drivers mounted on back.

Dual Opposed, or as I suggested, perhaps they are creating a cardioid effect if crossed low enough... But this would also bring some placement concerns...
Regardless, no judgment comments... just hoping and wishing for something new and strong in the market!

I recall seeing many instances of the old Ultra Towers throwing Phase faults in Room Correction measurements. IIRC, @Pogre had it happen to him, too, back in the day.

(Speaking of which... Pogre!!! If you are still out there buddy, hope you are well!!!)

Anyway...
I'm excited to see some official reports and hopefully the team here at AH will be getting some samples! C'mon @gene ... If @shadyJ has time to build his own Speaker kit to test, you need to send him more gear to measure! :p :D :cool:

SVS Announces New Flagship Speaker Line Ultra Evolution Series
900x450.jpg


SVS has announced the new replacements for their venerable Ultra series which is appropriately titled the “Ultra Evolution” series. These speakers make some major changes to the outgoing series and scarcely resemble the prior designs. Indeed, revolution might be a better word for the scale of these changes than evolution. Read our preview to get a sneak peak at what SVS has cooked up...

@shadyJ Thanks for the wonderful article James, you mentioned "The Ultra Evolution series is scheduled to go on sale sometime during the first quarter of 2023 although no exact date has been announced.", I know 2024 has just arrived with 2023 still fresh in our minds ;)

You know how long it's going to take me to remember to start dating my checks with a 24? It'll probably start doing it in 2027.
