SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf 2-Way Speakers (Pair)

The SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf is the compact standmount speaker in SVS's flagship Ultra Evolution range, supplied here as a matched stereo pair. Each speaker is a two-way design pairing a 1 inch diamond-coated aluminium dome tweeter with a 6.5 inch glass-fibre mid-woofer in a time-aligned, rear-ported cabinet. It brings the same tweeter and cabinet engineering as the flagship towers to a size that suits a shelf, a stand or a desk, so it delivers detailed, full sound where a floorstander would be too large.

The design carries the range's signatures. The diamond-coated tweeter, made by depositing a diamond-like carbon layer on an aluminium dome, gives airy, detailed highs with no measurable distortion, and the curved time-aligned baffle keeps the two drivers in phase for precise imaging. Use a pair as stereo speakers in a room where towers would dominate, or as tonally matched surrounds in a larger Ultra Evolution home theatre. It comes in piano gloss black, piano gloss white, or a black ash woodgrain finish to match the rest of the range.

Why Consider the SVS Ultra Evolution Bookshelf

Not every room suits a floorstanding speaker, and not every part of a home theatre needs one. The Ultra Evolution Bookshelf brings the range's diamond tweeter and time-aligned cabinet to a compact size, so you get the same clear, detailed character in a speaker that fits on a shelf, stand or desk. As a stereo pair it images with precision and is easy to place in a smaller room, and because it is voiced to match the Ultra Evolution towers and centre, it makes an ideal set of surrounds in a bigger system where tonal consistency across all channels is what sells the illusion. It is the versatile, room-friendly member of a flagship range.

Ideal For

• Stereo systems in rooms too small for floorstanders
• Surround channels in an Ultra Evolution home theatre
• Desktop or near-field high-fidelity listening
• Shelf or stand placement where space is limited
