The verdict

A coherent starter 5.1 package from a company that sells direct with a 45-day trial and 5-year warranty. It has no height channels, so add Atmos speakers separately if wanted. Without an independent review here, compare it with other packages in the same class first.

This SVS package bundles five Prime Satellite speakers (two front, two surround and one center) with an SB-1000 Pro sealed subwoofer. Each satellite has a 1-inch aluminum dome tweeter and a 4.5-inch mid-bass driver, and the subwoofer adds a 12-inch driver rated at 325 watts RMS. The speakers are passive, so an AV receiver is needed. It suits small and medium rooms where a soundbar is not enough. No independent review was read for this entry.

  • Includes a sealed 12-inch SB-1000 Pro subwoofer rated at 325 watts RMS.
