A Speaker That Sounds Like Coming Home


When you're used to traditional bookshelf speakers, the transition to a powered wireless setup can feel like a compromise. But after spending time with the SVS Prime Wireless Pro, I can confidently say: this isn't just an upgrade — it’s a revelation.


From lush orchestral scores to guitar-driven metal, these powered speakers handled everything I threw at them with finesse. They don’t try to wow you with exaggerated bass or hyped treble. Instead, they do something far more impressive: they blend all the frequencies into a coherent, honest, immersive soundstage.


Whether you’re into choral vocals, prog rock, or cinematic strings, these speakers honor the intent of the music.


Premium Specs, Practical Design


Let’s get the essentials out of the way. At $675 (down from $900), the SVS Prime Wireless Pro powered speakers offer:


  • Dual Class-D amplification (200 watts total)

  • 1" aluminum dome tweeter + 5.25" mid-bass driver

  • 192kHz/24-bit lossless playback via DTS Play-Fi Critical Listening mode

  • HDMI ARC/eARC, RCA, Optical, 3.5mm Aux, Bluetooth 5.0, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Ethernet, and more

  • A dedicated subwoofer output that seamlessly pairs with the SVS SB-1000 Pro

  • A compact, handsome design (available in black or white), with premium fit and finish


Remote included. App support available — but you might not even need it.

Music the Way It Was Meant to Be Heard


SVS isn’t chasing punchy bass or ear-piercing highs — and that’s exactly what makes these speakers shine. Think of them as studio monitors in a lifestyle-friendly package.


“Classical, choral, rock, prog, metal... the genre didn’t matter. These speakers handled it all.”— Jack Wallen, ZDNET

From Barber’s Adagio for Strings to Rush’s Tom Sawyer, every element felt controlled, revealing, and emotionally resonant. And when paired with the SB-1000 Pro subwoofer, the low end gained a presence that was powerful yet tight — never overwhelming.


Even complex rock mixes, like Band-Maid’s YOLO, which often get muddied on budget speakers, were rendered with stunning separation and energy.


Smart, Flexible, and Easy to Live With


A few notes on practicality:


  • You can connect both analog and digital sources, including a turntable and a PC. Just note: simultaneous input switching isn’t automatic — you'll need to manually manage sources (or use Bluetooth for one of them).

  • Bluetooth connectivity is solid, but depending on your OS (looking at you, Linux users), you may need to reconnect after sleep.

  • The presets and app control exist, but if you're not interested in extra features, you can ignore them entirely.


Despite minor quirks, the SVS Prime Wireless Pro is built for modern living — clean desk setups, vinyl-friendly systems, or apartment-friendly home theaters.

Should You Buy Them?


If your current speakers sound too harsh, boomy, or flat — yes. 100%.These are not “party” speakers. They’re music-first speakers. Speakers for those who want to hear the truth, not a stylized version of it.


And at $225 off right now, there’s never been a better time to jump in.
