SVS Prime Pinnacle

A three-way floorstander with a bespoke midrange unit, a trio of bass drivers that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere at the price and a neat 25mm aluminium dome tweeter, the Pinnacle is the very definition of a cabinet that offers maximum bang for your buck.

The new 135mm mid driver sits at the top of the cabinet and marks a change from the norm for the rest of the Pinnacle range, which typically utilise 115mm or 90mm units made from polypropylene. Instead the glass fibre cone that’s also employed by the superior Ultra Tower is trickled down.

Placed directly below the mid driver, the 25mm aluminium dome tweeter boasts an FEA-optimised diffuser claimed to deliver both a wide dispersion and accurate on and off-axis delivery. Beneath this, three 165mm drivers handle the lower frequencies. Individually tuned, they work out of individual 50mm flared rear-facing bass ports.

Eschewing the current trend for sleek curves, the Pinnacle instead opts for straight, sharp lines with finishes limited to black ash (£1,800) or gloss black (£2,000).
