SVS Prime Tower Floorstanding Speakers - Black Ash
Prime Tower Speaker
The Prime Tower speakers set the bar for sound quality and high-end appeal among tower speakers anywhere near the price. The reference-grade SVS floor-standing speaker is amazingly transparent, with a broad, stable soundstage and sharp imaging of voices and instruments, all punctuated by deep yet accurate low frequency extension.
Challenge the SVS Prime Tower Speakers with any dynamically charged music or movie soundtrack and it reveals new layers of sound and detail you never knew existed. With engineering and design cues taken from the acclaimed SVS Ultra Series speakers, the Prime Tower is a sonic achievement that stands up to the best speakers in the world.
Every aspect of the Prime Tower speakers was designed for sonic excellence. From the premium grade drivers and sophisticated SoundMatch crossover to the extra-thick baffle, internal bracing, and FEA optimised tweeter diffuser.

Driver Specs:
1” Aluminum Dome Tweeter:
FEA-optimised diffuser for airy and unveiled presentation
Aluminium dome for exceptional transient response
4.5” Midrange Driver:
Polypropylene cone for excellent stiffness/mass ratio and pistonic behaviour
Aluminium shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
Cast ABS-fibreglass composite basket ensures precision component alignment and excellent thermal transfer
Vented voice coil former minimises air compression artefacts
Dual 6.5” Woofers:
Long stroke motor and suspension for high output
Polypropylene cone for excellent stiffness/mass ratio and pistonic behaviour
Aluminium shorting ring to reduce gap inductance, lower distortion, and enhance high frequency response
Cast ABS-fibreglass composite basket ensures precision component alignment and excellent thermal transfer
Vented voice coil former minimises air compression artefacts
Crossover & Cabinet Specs:
Crossover:
3.5-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, air-core inductors and heavy-trace printed circuit boards.
Tapered woofer array optimises the transition to the midrange driver and reduces vertical axis lobing
Midrange-to-tweeter crossover: 2.1 kHz (12 dB/octave slopes)
Top woofer (Combined Woofer) to midrange crossover frequency: 350 Hz (12 dB/octave slopes).
Bottom woofer low pass frequency: 165 Hz (customised filter Q and slope)
Cabinet:
Separate sealed midrange enclosure shifts standing waves beyond the driver pass band, improving sound quality
Separate woofer enclosures with optimised port tuning frequencies for smooth and accurate bass response
Acoustically transparent and FEA optimised grilles minimise diffraction
Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improved on-axis high frequency response
FEA-optimised cabinet and bracing eliminates resonances
