Inspired Design, Reference Performance.

Acoustically Centered Time Alignment Cabinet Architecture

Curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of all drivers on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant.

Maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

Midrange drivers and woofers positioned above and below the tweeter allow for seamless crossover blending to create an idealized “point-source” where sound flows from a single point in front of the speaker to optimize dispersion characteristics.

Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeters to vastly improve rigidity and acoustic properties.

This breakthrough in material science raises the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing resulting in effortless, airy, and unveiled highs with no measurable distortion.

The diamond coating also pushes low frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange.

Organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and employs semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize the listening “sweet spot.”

Quad 5.25” Glass-Fiber Woofers in Force Balanced Array

Dual opposing active woofers on the top and bottom of the cabinet render effortless low frequency response while addressing room modes. Deep, authoritative bass is evenly spread throughout the listening area.

Mechanical energy from each front-firing woofer is equaled inside the cabinet by the rear-firing woofer eliminating mechanical coloration for pure, accurate low frequencies at any playback level.  

Dual 4.5" Glass Fiber Composite Midrange Drivers

Superb stiffness to mass ratio on dual driver array renders stunning dynamics with flawless tonal accuracy.

Unrelenting Attention to Detail

Separate, acoustically tuned internal chambers for the woofers and midrange drivers optimize separation and eliminate any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum.

Uncompromisng 3-Way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details are rendered with breathtaking clarity, while massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves.

Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.

Chamfered front baffle minimizes edge diffraction for optimal off-axis frequency response.

Cabinet:

  • Acoustically Centered Time Alignment architecture.
  • Acoustically-centered architecture orients the mid-range and woofer arrays in rotational-symmetry around the tweeter, ensuring that low, mid, and high-frequencies emanate from the same effective point in space, creating a coherent, integrated, faithful acoustic image.
  • Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener. The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage.
  • Quad 5.25” woofers in Force-Balanced Opposed Array energize any room with deep, accurate, evenly distributed bass, while contributing a net-zero vibration force to the cabinet and other components.
  • Dual 4.5” midrange drivers share a dedicated acoustic-suspension enclosure, symmetrical around the tweeter.
  • Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response.
  • Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffles ensure a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
  • FEA-optimized ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, extensive bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels.

    SVS Ultra Evolution Tower
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Ultra Evolution Tower

     My existing system was Ultra Evolution bookshelf front, the Ultra Evolution Center, Prime Satellite surrounds,  and dual SB 2000 Pros, which were good for movies, but left me feeling thin in midrange stereo. 

    I repurposed my ultra evolution bookshelf to surround duty , moved my Satellites to height speakers, put the towers to the front stage. 

    I now have a 5.2.2 system that sounds exceptional.  The Towers filled the missing mid-range with stereo music. I now have incredible, full body music, and top-notch theater sound.

    As always in my experience, eception customer service that I have come to expect with SVS!

    Ultra Evolution Tower - A Fine Choice

    Granted, this is my first venture into the world of nice quality audio, but after listening to many speakers, involving significant travel at times, I decided on the Ultra Evolution Towers. I originally thought I wanted the Prime Pinnacle, but I had to listen to "the next step up" before I left the store that day, and the upgrade was SO worth the price difference to me! I committed to the Ultra Evo line (in Piano White - stunning!) and I haven't looked back. I have since added the matching Evo center channel, Prime Satellites, and a pair of SB-3000 R|Evolution subs (all in white, of course!). That is how happy I have been with the SVS brand and quality. Cheers!

    Upgraded my 2 Channel System!

    I am so impressed with these speakers! Talk about taking my system to the next level…

    For years I have really enjoyed my Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers for 2 channel playback. The airiness and the wide soundstage drew me to the electrostatic sound. Last year I had upgraded my Theater Room speakers to the Ultra Titan speakers. After living with them for several months, I decided to see what they would sound like on my two channel system. I was really curious if my tube amp/integrated setup could push the Titan’s. I must admit, that was a mistake. They sounded so much better, both my wife and I could not believe how much we were missing! Since we listen to music more than we watch movies, I kept the speakers downstairs (in our main Family Room) for a couple of months. But every-time we wanted to watch a movie, I could tell how much my system was suffering without the Titan’s upstairs in the theater room. So, I took them back up. By doing that, our 2 channel system really suffered. With every record or CD we played, we missed the full sound that SVS speakers produced. So, I knew that I needed to start saving to change out my music system speakers.

    The SVS Ultra Evolution Tower speakers gave us a sense of the airiness we liked so much with the Electrostatic speakers. But what the SVS do so better, is the mid bass, the heaviness that the EL speakers just did not do! We were already running dual SB-3000 subs with the Martin Logan speakers so we decided the Ultra Evolution…

    Sounds great and looks amazing.

    Upgraded from a midtier Klipsch tower speaker set. Well worth the upgrade. Dedicated drivers for high range, mid range, and base. The clarity and the quality of the sound coming out of these speaker is amazing.

    WOW. Amazing speakers!

    I’ve owned and auditioned more tower speakers than I care to admit over the last 20 years, including several well‑known, reputable brands. Never did I expect that SVS — a company I only associated with subwoofers — would deliver one of the best tower speaker experiences I’ve ever had. I simply never gave them a fair shot… until now.

    After purchasing and returning multiple towers in this price range over the past three months, I finally decided to try SVS. I’m thrilled that I did.

    Sound Quality That Just Feels “Right”

    The first thing that hit me was the fullness, separation, and expansiveness of the sound. These towers present music the way it should sound — natural, balanced, and effortless. I’ve been re‑listening to my entire music library because everything feels new again.

    Zero Fuss, Zero Tweaking

    What really surprised me is how good they sound right out of the box.

    No reaching for the bass or treble trim.

    No endless placement experiments.

    No hours of EQing.

    In my room, these towers sounded better without EQ than all the other speakers I’ve tried sounded with EQ and tweaking. That alone is worth celebrating. Now that I have EQ'd them, they sound even better.

    Bass Performance That Makes You Rethink Your Setup

    These speakers are so competent across the full frequency spectrum that I’m seriously considering ditching my subs. I never thought I’d say that about any tower speaker in this price range.

    An Absolute Steal

    For the money, these towers outperform everything…
