The joy of pinpoint accuracy, absolute transparency, stunning dynamics, and effortless bass for more people than ever. SVS Ultra Evolution Center deeply connects you to the emotion of sound.

Time Aligned Cabinet Geometry

Curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of the tweeter and mid-range on a vertical plane ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant. Maximizes phase coherence for a more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging.

Diamond Coated Aluminum Dome Tweeter

Through a process called Vapor Deposition, a layer of diamond carbon is applied to the aluminum dome tweeters to vastly improve rigidity and acoustic properties. This breakthrough in material science raises the frequency response well beyond the limits of human hearing resulting in effortless, airy, and unveiled highs with no measurable distortion. The diamond coating also pushes the low-frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange.

Glass Fiber Composite Midrange

3-Way Crossover Design with Vertical Tweeter Midrange Array

Uncompromising 3-way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Subtle musical details rendered with breathtaking clarity, massive dynamics radiate with weight and control from the highest to lowest octaves. Precisely tuned crossover frequencies and slopes between tweeter, midrange, and woofers result in truthful phase coherency and a precise, robust soundstage. Rich, effortless bass from composite glass-fiber cone with custom surround for peak sensitivity and excursion.

Title: Centre stage
Review: Item arrived in perfect condition (which was a mild concern after international shipping)This speaker is a powerful workhorse.Adding plenty of punch while maintaining clarity.Could be a little pricy for those starting out in hifi but i found it was well worth the cost and a big improvement over our previous Onkyo speaker. The piano gloss finish is also stunning, which may help convince hesitant partners or spouses.

Title: Better than the Ultra Center
Review: Upgraded from the Ultra center, which I had for two years. The Evo center is audibly better than the ultra center, without question. I have the Evo set up in my home theater running in a 7.4.4 configuration. When I originally purchased, I figured I wouldn’t be able to hear much of a difference between the two speakers – but I was wrong. I’m not saying it’s a massive difference or that the Ultra was a bad speaker or anything, but the Evo is simply better.One thing I noticed was a greater degree of authority and fullness from the Evo – voices seem to be slightly more nuanced and fleshed out, with perhaps a slightly warmer tone to them. It should also be noted the Evo is rated at 6 ohms, whereas the Ultra is rated at 8 ohms, meaning the Evo is easier for my XPA Gen 3 amp to drive. At 8 ohms, my amp was providing 275 watts RMS to the Ultra, at 6 ohms my amp is now providing 450ish watts RMS to the Evo. As a result, it sounds like my Evo has more headroom, and perhaps unsurprisingly, a bit more depth and command.

Title: Underwhelming
Review: I was underwhelmed , I know it’s ideal to get a 3 way center but for the money , I feel like you can do better. Nothing against SVS, they just missed the mark with this series imho.
