The SBS-02 bookshelf speaker has a broad and deep soundstage, excellent imaging, and detailed accuracy which belies its diminutive size and low price point. A versatile performer, the SBS-02 can form the foundation for a small stereo system, an inexpensive surround sound system, and also works great pulling rear surround duty in a 7.1 system. Whatever the application, the SBS-02 will reward you with outstanding sound quality and unsurpassed value.
High Quality Drivers
The latest iteration of our famous S-series 6" woofer now features a polypropylene cone with a special soft dust-cap for exceptional resonance suppression and enhanced midrange accuracy.
Our soft-dome tweeter was always praised for its clarity and natural timbre, and now includes a ferrofluid cooled voice coil for even greater power handling and thermal dissipation.
Expertly Engineered, Audiophile-Grade Crossover Network
Part art and part science, the crossover is the most challenging part of the speaker to master, and ultimately determines the sound quality of the loudspeaker. The S-series crossovers were designed by the industry's leading expert, modeled using sophisticated software, proven in the lab with electrical and acoustic measurements, and refined with countless hours of final voicing by our panel of listening experts.
Sporting custom capacitors, massive air-core inductors, top-grade printed circuit boards, these expensive audiophile-grade crossovers are the reason our S-series speakers dominate competing brands in sound quality and fidelity at this price point.
Flexible Mounting Options
The SBS-02 can be mounted by using either the integral key-hole bracket, or the machine threaded inserts and an Omni-mount 20 speaker bracket.
Rugged Construction with Attractive Metal Grille
Run your hands and eyes over the S-series cabinets and you'll note a simple but elegant design, with precision CNC machining, rounded corners, recessed input cups, and a high-grade textured vacuum-formed finish with no visible seams. All protected by a stylish curved metal grille with acoustically transparent fine mesh perforation and less edge diffraction than conventional MDF cloth grilles.

Quality drivers, expertly-designed top-shelf crossovers, flexible mounting solutions, elegant and stylish cabinets, and superb sound quality define the S-series. Upgrade your system today and experience true high fidelity at astonishingly affordable prices – naturally from SVS.

Customer Reviews:
MikeLamb (Saturday, 21 January 2012)Rating:
Top quality speakers. Purchased after comparison to psb and Paradigm for an unobtrusive audiophile quality 2.1 system. Excellent service and products
make SV sound one of the best "bang for the buck" values in audio.
BobBrown (Wednesday, 18 January 2012)
Rating:
For our little system (Yamaha RX-397 receiver, Sony 5-CD player), these speakers are perfect. We listen to classical music and some rock and roll.
We don't crank it up to Grateful Dead levels, but the sound is clear and crisp. Very satisfied.

These are very nice speakers. The sound is great and the construction is quality.

I came across to SBS-02 while searching for a best for the money also as simple as possible look, and I found a pair.
I am using these with some
custom stands that I made and I have to say they look and work just fine. I used the speakers also on an actual bookshelf as horizontal layout and it
fits there very beautifully too. Good price, slick look and proper sound...

I give this speaker the highest rating because of value/performance ratio. I have these and the entry-level subwoofer, and the sound is the best I
have ever had. And I have had many component systems over the years, with an emphasis on the "best-for-the-money". These speakers, combined
with the sub, give concert hall realism (I have been to symphony concerts at the Musikverein in Vienna, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and Fisher
Hall in NYC), I get quality sound, like in these live venues, in my living room now. That's real savings!

Rating:
The realism of these speakers is amazing. After having read about the "Ohio Factory" I was disappointed to see the Made in China mark on the
back of them. Nonetheless the performance was spectacular. Particularly of note were the clarity and airy quality achieved from both flute and violin.
It was practically identical to the sound of the actual instruments. I cannot say that about my older speakers. What I heard from the SBS-02s was the
instrument. It was a real ‘you are there’ experience. I highly recommend these speakers.
