Svs Mts-01

Does anyone have info on this speaker? I'm was looking at getting a pair of the polk RTi8's, but discovered SVS is creating a mid-tower and would like some comparison info on it before I purchase the RTi8's. If the MTS-01 speaker design and SQ is anything like my 20-39pc+, I would love to get my hands on a pair.

Last time I checked there was no info available on it yet.

I've heard their entry level bookshelve system and it was very nice.

It's going to be fall at the earliest for the MTS line. I think it will be aimed at the Ascend 340se, a very balanced and accurate and much loved speaker. However, I've heard it a couple of times and just can't get excited about them (Ascends), too neutral for my taste. Of the 2, the 340se's and the RTi8s, I preferred the 8s even with the slightly harsh tweeter.

I've contacted SVS for more info. Here is what Ed Mullen has to say:


"The MTS-01 will have a similar lay-out to the RTi8 – a single soft dome tweeter and dual 7” mid-bass drivers. Our speaker and crossover components will be much higher grade than those used in the RTi8; in fact we’re paying more for the tweeter than it costs most companies to build their entire speaker.

Timbre matching won’t be a problem with the silk dome use in the Polk line. But I would recommend getting the entire front stage for seamless panning and timbre matching; the
Polk center won’t be a perfect match of course. The surrounds are less critical for timbre matching and you’ll be fine retaining the Polks there."
