SVS - Ultra Evolution Titan Floor-Standing Speakers (Pair)

Timing Is Everything: SVS Ultra Evolution Titan Floor-Standing Speakers Play with Sublime Transparency and Dynamics, Feature Diamond-Carbon-Coated Tweeters and Dual Opposing Woofers
In Ultra Evolution Titan, SVS brings to floor-standing loudspeakers the head-turning value, performance, build quality, and sleek looks that have made the company’s subwoofers such a huge success with audiophiles and cinephiles alike. Living up to its lofty name, Ultra Evolution Titan combines advances in driver design, component materials, and cabinetry to play with crisp clarity, see-through transparency, full-range dynamics, and, true to SVS’ roots, robust bass. Measuring 47.13 x 9.8 x 17.3 Inches (HWD), and boasting a frequency response of 27Hz to 40kHz, this is a loudspeaker designed to deliver emotional highs and sonic thrills every time you listen.
Cited as a Best of CES 2024 pick by Home Theater Review, Sound & Vision, and AVS Forum, each 69.7-pound speaker features a one-inch aluminum dome tweeter coated with a later of diamond carbon to improve rigidity and acoustic elements. You’ll enjoy airy, natural highs free of distortion as well as deeper low-frequency extension, resulting in a seamless blend with the midrange. Moreover, an organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and uses a semi-random pattern to improve off-axis response — and enlarge the sweet spot.
When it comes to power and muscle, dual opposing 6.5-inch glass-fiber woofers located at the top and bottom of the cabinet — a force-balanced array — go deep, with mechanical energy from each front-firing driver equaled inside the cabinet buy the patterning rear-firing woofer. The upshot: No mechanical coloration and stunning purity and accuracy, no matter the volume level. Add to this arsenal two 4.5-inch glass-fiber midrange drivers that specialize in tonal balance and attention-getting dynamics.
Ultra Evolution Titan also goes to the limits in what you can’t see. Namely, separate, acoustically tuned internal chambers for the drivers to optimize separation and diffuse resonances; a three-way crossover built with premium capacitors, inductors, and resistors to lets you experience the nuances, details, and weight that makes music come alive; and precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets to ensure alignment of key components and maximize thermal dissipation. On the front exterior, you will notice a chambered front baffle to minimize edge diffraction and neodymium magnetic grilles that complement the speaker’s three gorgeous finishes. On the back, you’ll see dual wide-flared 2.5-inch rear-firing ports.
Lest we forget, the geometry of Ultra Evolution Titan further accounts for its exceptional abilities. Its cabinets subscribe to acoustically centered time-alignment architecture, wherein the curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of all drivers on a vertical plane to make certain the sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant. This maximizes phase coherence for a more convincing, immersive soundstage graced with sublime accuracy and imaging. The 0.75-inch cabinets themselves benefit from extensive bracing and insulation, providing an inert enclosure that prevents colorations.
Backed by a five-year manufacturer warranty, and completed with adjustable screw-in feet and gold-plated five-way binding posts, Ultra Evolution Titan will change the way you think about price and performance.
"Accurate and immersive...a mature product from a company that is elevating its game to compete with the high-end offerings of the two-channel world."

“Bass was impressively deep but also controlled and tight. What really took me aback was how neutral the midrange sounded and how refined the highs were. A superbly voiced loudspeaker.”

Acoustically Centered Time-Alignment Cabinet Architecture
The curved front baffle aligns the sonic emanation point of all drivers on a vertical plane, ensuring sound from each driver reaches your ears at the exact same instant. This maximizes phase coherence for more convincing and immersive soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and imaging. The midrange drivers and woofers positioned above and below the tweeter allow for seamless crossover blending to create an idealized "point-source" where sound flows from single point in front of the speaker to optimize dispersion characteristics.
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 low-frequency extension of the tweeter deeper for more seamless blending with the midrange. An organic cell lattice tweeter diffuser protects the dome and employs a semi-random pattern derived from organic cell structures to improve off-axis response and maximize the listening "sweet spot."
Quad 6.5-Inch Glass-Fiber Woofers in a Force-Balanced Array
Dual opposing active woofers on the top and bottom of the cabinet render effortless low-frequency response while addressing room modes. Deep, authoritative bass is evenly spread throughout the listening area. The mechanical energy from each front-firing woofer is equaled inside the cabinet by the rear-firing woofer, eliminating mechanical coloration for pure, accurate low frequencies at any playback level.
Attention to Detail
Separate, acoustically tuned internal chambers for the woofers and midrange drivers optimize separation and eliminate any potential for cabinet resonances, resulting in pristine sound across the frequency spectrum. A three-way crossover with premium components seamlessly blends driver output. Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation. A chambered front baffle minimizes edge diffraction for optimal off-axis frequency response.
