SVS, a company that made its name selling high-performance/high-value subwoofers direct to consumers via the web, has since gone on to build similarly gifted and affordable full-range speakers. Audiophile sound quality that doesn’t break the bank is in the brand’s guiding DNA. So, it should come as no surprise that SVS’s debut wireless product makes an audiophile statement in both its design philosophy and sonic personality.

Perhaps the most obvious defining characteristic of the new Prime Wireless Speaker System is that it’s a system, consisting of a stereo pair, and not just another standalone tabletop or portable speaker. It is modeled after the classic desktop system, in which one of the satellites contains the amplification for both speakers and sends the opposite channel signal to a passive mate through an umbilical connection. In this case, the right-channel master provides the brains and brawn, while the left speaker gets life through a thin-gauge 10-foot cable with a four-pin connector on either end.
