SVS Ultra Evolution Elevation, Flagship Reference Height Effects Speaker, Diamond Coated Tweeter - Pair - Piano Gloss Black

Like many of us, I struggled to find a good place behind the main couch for surrounds as there was no viable location for side surrounds in my living room layout. Prior to purchasing the Ultra Elevations, I had placed bookshelf speakers on the sofa table between the couch and the wall. This led to localization issues as expected, but it was the best I could do. _x000D_ _x000D_ The Ultra Elevations in Piano Gloss White finally gave me an option to place something reasonably sized on the wall where they should be, and allowed for angling the drivers down towards main listening position. They sound great and my wife appreciates that they don't destroy the aesthetic of the family room. I 100% could not recommend them more.

Ok, I'm just a Hobbyist Audio Video Enthusiast, not a professional. With that out of the way I'll say first when I was looking for new speakers, Reviews were important, and that SVS Ultra's got first class reviews from Home Theater & Stereophile Magazine were Important. PLUS SVS was the only Speakers in this price range that came in Paino Black. With this being said and my 7.2.2 system set-up and Powered by My New Emotive MR1, it sounds Awesome, I couldn't be happier with the result. The only issue I found was in the Elevation mounting bracket. I would have liked to see feet for each speaker to contact the wall as the speaker is bottomed out in the bracket. The rubber feet supplied are worthless and discarded. Also, it would be nice to see a supplied trim ring to cover the gap between the wall and speaker. The speakers in reality are kind of dangling by 1 small mounting bolt. A built-in bracket would be a sweet upgrade here. All in All I'm very happy with my new Ultra's
