I purchased these as a soundbar replacement. I have owned several soundbars ranging anywhere between $500 to north of $2,000. To be hones I have never been happy with the quality of the audio. No matter what any reviewers say, you will not get the best audio out of a soundbar.
Audio Quality: The speakers sound so much better than even the most expensive soundbar. They are tuned to give you great bass, acceptable mids and good highs. Grade A+
Setup: This is a little clunky but considering that you can connect to these speakers with HDMI, Optical, WiFi, Bluetooth or Ethernet, they get a passing grade for cramming it in such a small package and making it work. I have to keep in mind that SVS is an audio company and not necessarily network engineers. The redeeming factor is SVS customer service. The first rep I talked to was new on the job and I could tell he was reading off a troubleshooting checklist. When he was stumped, he had a more senior rep called me back. She advised me that I had to pull the install apart and take the speaker back to the room where my router was. She advised that the speaker has to be in close proximity to a router to make the initial connection.
This is where I believe they have missed the networking portion. I had an AP not 15 ft from the original install location. That should have worked. When I queried her as to why I have to undo all the wires pull the speaker and go back to the room with the router she could not explain why. All she said is that is how we do it. If that is so, then they should say so in the documentation. It was a lot of effort to pull the wiring and move the speaker just to make a network connection. Plus, the quality of the answer was indicative of someone who does not know networking. That said, she stayed on the phone till the connection was made and then she rushed off to get on to the next call. Grade: B- to B
Build Quality: Fit, Finish, Connections and Layout are very good. Grade A
Delivery: Delivery specifics, I got the Primer Wireless Pro's and a PF-3000 subwoofer in one shipment (140 lbs). My front yard is 60 feet from the road and up two sets of steps. The good thing is I got the product within 3 business days. Great speed! Downside, the carrier they use was going to drop it in my front yard and drive off. That is a no go for me. I told him if that is what he is going to do then pack them up and send them back to the factory. After calling in to his supervisor we agreed to have him drop it on my driveway where I could reach it with a hand cart and move it in the house. I am disappointed that I to take it to a confrontational level to get the product delivered to a place where it could be handled by one person. This was a big downside for me. While it is not SVS that made the delivery, it was their carrier of choice. They should do a better job of explaining the delivery and offer options. Perhaps there is a white glove service they could offer? Grade: C to C+
Things I would request for future versions of this product and or improvements in the purchase and delivery experience.
1. Add some way to EQ the Primer Wireless Pro's, I would like to boost the mids just a smidge. My wife has hearing aids and to her the dialog is not as crisp as it is for me.
2. Clean up the connectivity experience. If it is really true, that you must have the speakers in close proximity to the router then tell the customer that up front. Don't let them get everything wired in and then there is an OOPS! I forgot to tell you that you need to be close to your router. That made no sense to me, and I have been dealing with networks 30+ years. It is disrespectful of the customers time and effort.
3. Clean up the delivery experience. See my epistle above on delivery.
Overall Grade: B+. If it were on audio quality alone, then the grade would be an A to A+. I spent a little over $2700 on this order and I just did not come away with a $2700 experience. The good thing is this should be fairly easy to correct with better training and better communication. and better delivery options.
I would not hesitate to recommend SVS products. They are good products that are American made. The sound great and look good!

For the space I'm in, I chose to not have a subwoofer, these speakers put out more than enough bass for the casual listening that is done. I do wish there was an ability to modify the sound a bit. For the most part I try to use play fi on android for audio streaming, but again, that is one of the negatives of this product. I have less issues with HEOS. For a few days, I couldn't get the app to reliably play through songs. They are beautiful looking speakers.
I want to love this product. As a set of powered speakers they sound great. Trying to use them for my use case where they are 90% used as PC speakers and maybe 10% directly playing music, they definitely fall short of my expectations.

Getting the new Wireless Pro's to sync with my apple iPhone and the LG OLED was quite easy and thanks for coming up with a remote matched to the speakers. I also have a SB1000 wireless connected to the prime wireless pro so my listing experience rivals my Logan Martin towers up stairs.(BTW married to a SB4000)
Lastly the LED read out on the right master speaker is a great improvement It is so nice to easily see what channel and the volume at a glance. Nice work, SVS! I am so impressed.
