No "Official SVS speaker" thread?

I've said it on the sub forum I might as well say it here because I noticed it the other day looking at speakers. The prices are going up on everything in a few weeks.

going from 199.99 each on the prime elevations to 249.99. only fifty bucks there, i can afford to wait then since i only need a pair to complete my upgrades.

I'm thinking of doing a SVS Prime build but man, they are pretty pricey. Does SVS ever go on sale or will I just have to bite the bullet?

I was also considering the Klipsch Reference line and they a bit cheaper. A strong center channel is important to me though and I like the 3-way on the Prime.

Anyone have any thoughts on SVS Prime vs. Klipsch Reference or can speak on how good the Prime center is?

You just missed the big Black Friday. The Cyber Monday (also passed) was all outlet stock. If this year will be like years past, the next sale will be President's Day.

Welp, I pulled the trigger on the full SVS Prime line.

For those of you with the Atmos Elevation speakers, what would you recommend for crossover with them being smaller speakers. 80hz, 90hz or even 120hz?

Nice, enjoy! Have read fantastic things about those Prime Pinnacle towers. I have the Ultra towers and love them.

I would say the usual 80hz as you would a surround speaker.

i cant check my settings atm but the specs on svs' website says they go down to 55 hz so i probably have mine crossover at 60 or 80

Decided to Merry Christmas myself and went ahead and upgraded my subwoofer as well.

I went from a BIC America F12 to the PB-1000 and I'm pretty stunned at how much better it sounds. I was reading beforehand that some people would be disappointed coming from the BIC because it's more of a boom box and the PB-1000 is more punchy and flat. Well, it sounds 100% better to me. Deep, low bass. More punch, less boomy.

My main question is since I did a recalibration, I noticed Audyssey set my Dolby Height and Surround speakers crossover to 90hz. I've always heard that you shouldn't lower it beyond what Audyssey detects but I believe specwise, they should be able to handle 80hz or lower. Should I just leave them at 90 or drop them to 80?

Also, I'm pretty happy with how the bass sounds after calibration but does anyone bump up their subwoofer a few notches further after calibration or just leave it? Do you change it on the app or the receiver?
