Audiophile Refinement. Breathtaking Home Theater Dynamics.
Design innovations in the Prime Pinnacle speaker harness qualities both discerning audiophiles and home theater fans will delight over. All-new driver array is optimized for massive dynamics and incredibly refined output while the cost-no-object cabinet design and materials, sophisticated components and inspired acoustic engineering combine for a floorstanding speaker that stands alone at its price and well beyond.
All-New 5.25" Midrange Driver with Composite Glass-Fiber Cone
Delivers pinpoint accuracy and broad soundstage for more immersive audio experiences. The majority of audio content in music and movies is present in the midrange frequencies so it’s imperative to have a driver capable of producing slam and impact as well as subtle details with tonal accuracy. Prime Pinnacle’s midrange borrows design elements from the reference Ultra Series to deliver uncompromised audio performance at all drive levels.
Premium 1” Aluminum Dome Tweeter
Renders crystal clear highs with lifelike realism even at reference volume. Light, efficient and impervious to distortion, the tweeter’s airy’ presentation effortlessly reveals every sonic detail with pristine clarity and unerring accuracy. The FEA-optimized diffuser ensures broad dispersion for a wide and convincing soundstage with pinpoint on- and off-axis frequency response so everyone in your room is treated with the same amazing audio experience.
Trio of 6.5” High-Performance Woofers
Effortless low frequency output and impressive deep bass extension from three 6.5” woofers lays the sonic foundation for all audio content. Engineered to convey the full thrill and excitement of cinematic blockbusters yet refined enough to handle the pluck of a bass guitar string and subtlest musical details with convincing realism, Prime Pinnacle delivers an amazing full-range listening experience with all audio content. By using three smaller woofers, each with its own 2-inch port, the new floorstanding speaker effortlessly conveys low frequency output while maintaining a slim profile that fits in any room or system.
Three Unique Port Tuning Frequencies
Individual tuning frequencies and separate sub-enclosures for the trio of woofers epitomizes the no compromise design approach taken with Prime Pinnacle. This design ensures all drivers blend seamlessly together so you get silky-smooth transitions from the midrange driver to the woofers as well as accurate frequency response, amazing refinement and crisp speed in transients; all without sacrificing deep, room-energizing bass.
SVS SoundMatch 3-Way Crossover
Creates an expansive soundstage with accurate frequency response and precise imaging for largest “sweet spot” possible. The 3-way crossover is uniquely tuned so each driver, from tweeter to midrange and midrange to woofers, blend seamlessly with each other while offering excellent on and off-axis frequency response and pinpoint spatial imaging for the most convincing audio experience possible. The crossover’s topology and architecture are consistent with all SVS speakers so Prime Pinnacle is timbre matched to integrate with any speaker from the acclaimed Prime or Ultra Series for the ultimate flexibility when building a system.
Sonically Inert and Rigidly Braced Cabinet
Four self-contained, acoustically tuned internal chambers eliminate any potential for resonances or sonic artifacts from the enclosure, resulting in pristine audio playback across the frequency spectrum. Tapered edges on the Prime Pinnacle speaker’s front baffle, known as chamfers, minimize edge diffraction for a clear and precise soundstage while features like shorting rings and tweeter diffusers provide acoustic enhancements with modern, high-end visual appeal.
Lifestyle-Friendly Footprint
Fits seamlessly in any room layout or décor. Slim enough to place next to furniture or near a wall, yet spacious enough to produce effortless output and reference sound quality, Prime Pinnacle delivers jaw-dropping performances in stereo and home theater systems from a classically handsome tower speaker design.

United States USPrime Pinnacle
My set arrived today….. I am an audio file from the 70’s I have had my share of high end audio equipment. I will say after setup and running all types of music through these Pinnacles I can say they are the most crisp immersive sound experience I have had the pleasure of enjoying. If your looking for great sound at an affordable price these are the speakers for you. Tauni
USGreat Speakers
Wanted to watch GOT on something better than my television set so I purchased the Prime Pinnacles with the Ultra Center and SB3000. Had to say I was a bit disappointed at first but learned that adjustments to my A/V receiver were needed. Once I made tweaks to the speaker and bass levels, wow! Movies and music were just incredible. Movies and music come alive~ My wife and I watched every season of GOT all over again.
USGreat Speakers
They do give a 45 day trial so if you don't like what you hear you can send it back free. I honestly love these speakers. They don't have massive bass but, don't lack it either. It's a speaker where I can say its very neutral and calm to listen to. I find myself listening to these speakers with out any fatigue. I own Focal speakers in my bar room/man room and got these SVS Pinnacle for my living room. These Pinnacles are very outstanding where ever you place them. I found them to be very easy to hide because they sound great anywhere in my room. My Focal needed much more space and sounded very boom luster in tighter spaces where these SVS Pinnacles blended in with ease. I would totally recommend these speakers if you are lacking space of placement. If you have all the room in the world you can definitely find another speaker with a bit more bass or define speaker at the price range but, I haven't heard another speaker like these in my living room. PS: I have owned klipsch/polk/pioneer/Diamond/ and B&W. These Pinnacles are either equivalent or superior to my previous B&W 700 series. CHEERS!
USNew speakers for music
My new Prime Pinnacle speakers replaced a pair of 1993 KEF Q-50 that were still providing good sound quality. I just knew there had to be significant sound improvements over almost 30 years. I think I found it in my Pinnacle speakers. These new speakers are being used for music only and so far you guys have nailed it!
