SVS Prime Satellite Speakers (Pack of Three) Gloss Black

I am or have been an owner of SVS products for many years. These speakers are an excellent value and will provide excellent surround effects while being easy to mount on the wall or stand. The black gloss is a great touch and they look nice. They image fairly well, but have no bass to speak of and are a but thin, but what would you expect from a speaker this size? Although they could be used as the front three of a surround system, I would recommend something a but larger such as an ELAC that can produce more lower tones unless you need something small. For surround and a smaller footprint these are good, but don't forget that many surround formats now include LOTS of information including bass, so the days of Dolby Pro Logic and "Effects" coming out of your side or rear surrounds are gone. There is full depth and musicality coming from the surrounds. The ELAC for a similar price (Debut) would provide more overall if you can handle the fact that they are bigger.
