Not sure if this is a double post, but what do you guys think about these? If they sound as good as they look, I will definitely give them a go.

    I was planning on upgrading to RTi12s at some point. Then I saw these new towers from SVS. NOW WHAT I'MA GONNA DO??? lol

    They sure do look nice. Not sure if the matching center will fit where I need it to go. Seems a little tall. I'm going to have to get out the measuring tape.

    I heard they will not be shipping out until sometime in November. Quite a wait.

    They'll probably post some specs and charts in a couple of months. This product has been in development for awhile. The want to give fans some concrete assurance that it's not vapor and start the buzz. Ed told me they will be very good.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B

    They look lousy. I really can't get behind the styling.

    That being said, their entry level speaker setup sounded very impressive the one time I heard it. Given their history, at that price I bet they sound very impressive.

    Their newer stylings are cheesey. From the metal grill on the Ultra to this ---

    Stick to simple and elegant like before...

    I'd give them a try if I were in the market.

    I think these look pretty sweet. There's something that's kind of mid-century radio charm to the curvature blended with modern precision. Fairly large footprint, though, huh?

    SVS definitely has the best copywriter in the biz, though. It's hard not to believe every word written on their website, no matter how ra-ra-ra it is for their own products. Of course you toot your own horn on your website, but they're just really good at it!
