Apparently svs want to bring to the table something very good
Their line are W-M-T-M-W, woofers are opposite and are always 4.
3 differents woofers size.
5,25'' x4
6,5'' x4
8'' x4

Crossover:​

  • 3-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors and heavy-trace printed circuit board
  • Tweeter-to-Midrange crossover: 1.8 kHz
  • Midrange-to-woofer crossover: 140 Hz
To me that low crossover mean a serious bass woofer :p
  • Quad 8” woofers in Force-Balanced Opposed Array energize any room with deep, accurate, evenly distributed bass, while contributing a net-zero vibration force to the cabinet and other components.
  • Frequency Response: 24Hz to 40kHz (+/-3 dB)




Frequency Response / Acoustic Data:

  • Frequency Response: 24Hz to 40kHz (+/-3 dB)
  • Nominal Impedance: 6 ohms
  • Sensitivity: 88dB (2.83V @ 1 meter full-space, 300Hz – 3kHz)
  • Recommended amplifier power: 20 – 300 watts

Speaker Specs:​

  • Floor-standing Tower Loudspeaker
  • Piano gloss black, piano gloss white, real black oak veneer finish options
  • Dual gold-plated 5-way binding posts
  • Dual 3” wide-flared rear-firing ports
  • Cloth grille with magnetic retention system
  • Elastomer screw-in feet – adjustable for level
  • Spiked metal screw-in feet included – adjustable for level
  • Cabinet Dimensions: 49.61” (H) x 11.81” (W) x 18.14” (D) / 1260mm (H) x 300mm (W) x 460.7mm (D)
  • Overall Dimensions: 50.2” (H) x 11.81” (W) x 18.14” (D) / 1275mm (H) x 300mm (W) x 460.7mm (D) (includes grille, feet, and binding posts)
  • Shipped Dimensions: 54.6” (H) x 16.3” (W) x 22.6” (D) / 1387mm (H) x 415mm (W) x 575mm (D)
  • Weight Packaged: 110.8 pounds / 50.3 kgs
  • Weight Unboxed: 96.7 pounds / 43.9 kgs

Driver Specs:​

1” Diamond Coated Tweeter​

  • FEA-optimized Organic Cell Lattice Diffuser for airy, unveiled highs and pristine clarity.
  • Cutting-edge vapor-deposition grows a hyper-rigid diamond-like coating on an aircraft-grade aluminum dome, pushing high-frequency extension further beyond human hearing, and delivering best-in-class fidelity, linearity, and transient response.
  • Silver tinsel leads for optimal signal transfer and power handling.

5.25” Midrange Drivers​

  • Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond passband.
  • Precision-cast aluminum-alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.
  • Vented Kapton voice coil former is exceptionally lightweight for excellent dynamics and transient response.

8” Woofers:​

  • Long stroke motor and suspension for high output.
  • Composite glass-fiber cone with excellent stiffness/mass ratio for high sensitivity and pistonic behavior beyond passband.
  • Precision-cast aluminum alloy baskets ensure precise alignment of critical components and maximize thermal dissipation.
  • Vented aluminum voice coil former to maximize thermal control while minimizing air compression artifacts at high drive levels.

Crossover & Cabinet Specs:​

Crossover:​

  • 3-way crossover with premium-grade capacitors, inductors, resistors and heavy-trace printed circuit board
  • Tweeter-to-Midrange crossover: 1.8 kHz
  • Midrange-to-woofer crossover: 140 Hz

Cabinet:​

  • Acoustically Centered Time Alignment architecture.
  • Acoustically-centered architecture orients the mid-range and woofer arrays in rotational-symmetry around the tweeter, ensuring that low, mid, and high-frequencies emanate from the same effective point in space, creating a coherent, integrated, faithful acoustic image.
  • Time-aligned cabinet geometry introduces microsecond-level time delays between the drivers, ensuring that the effective-acoustic-center of each driver is equidistant from the listener.   The result is improved linearity and directionality throughout the crossover frequencies, and a more accurate soundstage.
  • Quad 8” woofers in Force-Balanced Opposed Array energize any room with deep, accurate, evenly distributed bass, while contributing a net-zero vibration force to the cabinet and other components.
  • Dual 5.25” midrange drivers share a dedicated acoustic-suspension enclosure, symmetrical around the tweeter.
  • Chamfered front baffle and flush-mounted drivers reduce edge diffraction and improve on-axis and off-axis high-frequency response
  • Extra-thick 1” (25mm) driver baffles ensure a rigid, resonance-free mounting for all drivers.
  • FEA-optimized ¾” (18mm) cabinet construction, extensive bracing, and acoustic insulation eliminate acoustic and structural resonances, ensuring an inert enclosure and an uncolored response, even at the highest drive levels.

When I read diamond coated tweeter I immediately thought

images


but their price doesn't seems bad, hope there will be some some full spin or NFS review and they will perform well.

Won't the two midwoofers playing up to 2kHz result in a super narrow vertical sweet spot? Odd choice for such a high-end design..

That's a lot of speaker for such a price.
What's odd is how light they are,at 1.3 meters height 44 kilos does not sound right.specially with 4 8" drivers.
These drivers alone would be 15 kilos in total at least.
Unless the specs are not accurate.

Already have an Ultra Evolution thread:

Mods, perhaps a merge?
