What customers say
The SVS Prime Satellite Speakers are highly regarded for their exceptional build quality and compact design, featuring a premium finish and solid construction.

Know before you buy
Yes, they can function as a compact stereo pair, though their frequency response bottoms out at 69Hz. For a full-range music experience, you will likely want to pair them with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the deep bass frequencies.
Yes, the SVS Prime Satellite speakers are designed with versatile mounting options. They feature integrated mounting points that allow you to easily attach them to a wall, making them ideal for surround sound setups or rooms with limited shelf space.
These speakers are rated for 20 to 150 watts per channel. Because they have a sensitivity of 85dB, they perform best with a quality receiver or amplifier that can provide clean power to maintain clarity at higher volumes.
Unlike typical satellite speakers that often prioritize size over sound, these use audiophile-grade components like an aluminum dome tweeter and a polypropylene woofer. The internal design features separate compartments for the drivers, which helps minimize distortion and provides a much more balanced, realistic soundstage.
Absolutely. The Prime Satellite speakers are sonically matched to the rest of the SVS Prime and Ultra series. This makes them an excellent choice for building a cohesive home theater system where you need smaller speakers for rear or side channels.
