SVS reimagined its Ultra speakers for premium style and sound.
Wide and precise stereo imaging. Energetic and detailed upper register. Full and warm midrange. Precise and musical bass. Engaging dynamics. Speedy response in fast-paced instruments. Smooth transition between registers. Eye-catching angled cabinet design. Lovely piano gloss finish.cacophony of speaker brands, types, and models, it’s good for audio folks like me to have a back-pocket recommendation that consistently exceeds expectations.
Aluminum dome tweeters are favored for their longevity and swift clarity, but depending on voicing, they sometimes hit my ears with too much harshness in the higher frequencies. SVS says it smoothed things out by adding a diamond coating to the tweeter. Using a technique called vapor deposition, “a layer of diamond carbon is applied” to increase rigidity and smooth out the sonic transition between the tweeter and woofer.
SVS lists the Evolution’s frequency response at a solid 40 Hz to 40 kHz. They’ve got a 6-ohm nominal impedance rating, meaning you’ll need an amplifier capable of driving a 6 or 4 ohm load and a recommended 20 to 105 watts per channel. I tested the speakers using both a Naim Uniti Atom stereo amplifier and a beefier Rotel RAS-5000, which I generally preferred in this case for its slightly smoother approach.
The Evolution match their topside sparkle with wooly warmth in the lower midrange, and accurate bass that’s musical and engaging without being overwhelming. There’s enough power here to properly pump up action scenes in films and TV and add a solid foundation to hip-hop grooves and kick hits.
