Has anyone heard SVS speakers?

Their M series has intrigued me - especially since they claim to have designed a tweeter that tops the Air circ

Any thoughts?

    Their first round....or rather, attempt at actual loudspeakers were mediocre at best. I've spoken with some folks that have heard the new lineup from top to bottom and they should stick to subwoofers....of which they are VERY good at doing. The new loudspeakers have nice features and the driver selection is also solid but it's not anything I'm going to worry about until they hit the used market.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Hmmmmmm

    Interesting, that seemed to be the vibe I was gathering with the lack of talk surrounding their speaker line up. They sure do look solid though.

    I agree....the aesthetics are pretty nice.

    I like their M line of speakers a lot, and I think the driver selection with the AirCirc tweeter and Peerless Nomex woofer sounds very open, yet full and detailed. However, I just noticed that they switched to a Tymphany Audio ferro fluid cooled tweeter, so I cannot comment on the SQ of the new speaker as I have not heard it. Although, the new crossover does look nice as well...

    Dredging this up as opposed to starting new - has anyone heard any of the SVS speakers recently? Just curious.

    The Ultra line looks sweet. Love to get my ears on them.
