Product Overview
World-Class Audio for Everyone
The ultimate expression of what SVS sought to create with the Prime Series loudspeakers is epitomized in Prime Pinnacle. Audiophile refinement and musicality without sacrificing wide dynamic range, deep, effortless bass and all the excitement of a world-class loudspeaker.
SVS acoustic engineers spent more time voicing Prime Pinnacle than any speaker in SVS history, in large part to create a loudspeaker that was equally suited to meet the demands of both discerning audiophiles and hardcore home theater fans. To go even further, Prime Pinnacle’s cabinet design was made to blend seamlessly and sound amazing in any listening environment.
World-class performance in both a two-channel HiFi stereo or an immersive home theater surround sound system, Prime Pinnacle is unrivaled in its class and well-beyond.
