Chris, I'm not aware of anyone that has owned more Klipsch speakers than I have but I want to say that you did an EXCEPTIONAL job on this video. I know first hand how much time you spent A/B between these two speakers with all of that content. Truly my hat's off to you bro. With that said, my A/B comparison was pretty much the opposite. My room is 15' x 25' with 12' ceiling and opens up to the kitchen, breakfast nook, dining room and home office. The RF7 III in my room had quite a bit more bottom end than the SVS Ultras and also more detail. I felt the midrange on the SVS Ultras was better due to the 3-way design and smaller midrange drivers. I feel both are fantastic speakers and you are correct, they have very different sound signatures. One question I have is after calibrating with Audyssey, did you use an SPL meter to level match both sets of speakers? The reason I ask is the RF7 III were noticeably lower in volume than the Ultras in the demos. Again, I want to commend you on a great comparison video. I don't think any of us are surprised that you prefer the Ultras as that is what sounds more pleasing to your ears. We all have different taste and actually hear differently. As you mentioned, the absolute best way is to hear both firsthand and decide for yourself which your ears prefer. Keep up the great work!
@FURognar
@FURognar 5 лет назад
Yeah, it definitely sounded like the RF7III were lower in volume which should not be the case. It could be that Audyssey lowered them too much because of their sensitivity. Audyssey has done that in my own system at home where I have a fair disparity in the sensitivity between my front soundstage (92db) and my surround (87db) and after I level matched them after performing audyssey, it was much better and the surrounds leapt to life. I would definitely double check the spl level after running audyssey
@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120
Youthman Every room has what I call coloration signatures , Some people like what i call a layer layed back smooth sound while others like upfront deep dynamical details , Its so great to see reviewer's in the audio world coming together and incouraging each other in their reviews even though it may not be agreed upon , theirs so many factors in comparing speakers from Recievers/integrated/preamps that's why I use 5 different amplifiers on my channel to test speakers on Bright warm flat amps , I would have liked to seen meters used in this review and some kind of direct mode but hey at the end of the day it's all about having fun with or passion for music and movies

The Klipsch sound noticeably lower in volume almost muted or something. I really appreciate all the hard work that went into making this video and doing all the demos and calibrating and moving those behemoths around. I just really thought the Klipsch would sound a lot different. Not necessarily better or worse, just not so soft and muted sounding. Maybe it's my phone or headphones or my ears. Either pair is out of my budget range but it's still fun to listen and dream because the day will come. Thanks again!

@@ThatHomeTheaterDude I'm new to all this, still have a soundbar and zero experience with a receiver but doing my research and hopefully by the fall will have my first one. I'm understanding the sensitivity ratings and so is it basically your receiver "turned down" the Klipsch because they're so efficient and easier to drive? Just trying to understand more, thanks so much.

Hello! I just wanted to say that you did another great job of comparing these two awesome speakers. I will admit I am a Klipsch fan but when something performs at top level, you have to give it credit especially when you include accurate testing. Your testing and suggestions was acceptable and I appreciated your honesty not only with this video but with the others as well. Another great job well done!

Klipsch army checking in! Thanks for the review man. I was so happy to hear your detailed opinion after the AB test. I did the ABCD test myself over the winter with the LS50's, Ultra bookshelf's, RB-5's, and RF-7's. I had owned the Klipsch speakers forever but wanted to compare while I had the others in my home for a demo. Although the Ultra's ended up being returned SVS blew me away with their customer service. If anyone out there is thinking about spending this kind of money on speakers do yourself a favor and bring them in for a demo! Speakers are too subjective not to. Until you have them in your home and hooked up to your gear you will never really know. That being said if I blind bought the Ultras I would be extremely happy with my purchase. After deciding to keep the LS50's and the guilt of cheating on Klipsch for the first time in a long time, I got the LS50's in copper and gold to make me feel a little better :) Thanks again for the video THTD

I always love and enjoy your videos. I think for this comparison between the Ultra’s and 7III’s you tried to explain and point out the the pro’s & con’s of each speaker very carefully. My congrats to you because it shows your passion you have for Home Theater and the respect you have for you viewers. Just my opinion; I personally don’t like videos with sound samples of speakers because even that you can have and idea and perceive some elements of the speaker, in reality, video will never do justice of how good or bad a speaker is. I don’t make judgment of a speaker until I can hear it in person. Hey!! you know, you have to spend your hard earned money wisely 🤣. Some viewers pointed out that the 7 III’s sounded lower and this is where I have my only criticism and is limited to one word, AUDYSSEY. I’m not defending the brand but everyone who knows Klipsch, know that those horned tweeters are loud as hell. I will love to see a second round video but this time with no Audyssey, just pure amp power. Also, try to use some soft music samples, don’t show power with loudness, show it with clarity and finesse. Don’t get me wrong I’m a metal headbanger too 😂. Peace ✌️

Cool vid good thoughts, I never heard the iiis in person but I prefer my rp280 to the rf7ii I had but returned to compare the two . I have the ultras now and the 280s . It’s just too good to switch back and forth from time to time I need both sets to be happy. They sound very different and I like listening to either.

Excellent video one question maybe you could answer I have $1,000 to spend and I'm looking at the SVS ultra towers or the Airmotiva t2 plus but I just can make up my mind I wish I could hear them in person what is your point of view on the differences between the two? And do you have a preference?

I use dynamic eq but have all the rest of the bells and whistles turned off. When you put the AVR into direct or pure, it turns off all that eq processing and plays the raw content from the source. Thats the codec I was using for this test

Kinda hard to hear over the video, hopefully ill get an answer here from people with more experiense of these in the same room. With the SVS having more base over the klipsch, how does that effect with the full system plugged in? In the video it was only two speakers, and plugging in the subs and surround will the base be "overpowering" or does it level out in some wierd way?
@ThatHomeTheaterDude

adding subs evens out the bass response in the room.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You made a masterpiece for fans like us! Great friend I wanted to ask you a question: I know you also own the SVS Ulta Bookshelf. For a room measuring 4 meters by 5 meters and a ceiling height of 2.80 meters, do you think the SVS Ultra Bookshelf can fill the room or do I have to rely on SVS towers?
@ThatHomeTheaterDude
@ThatHomeTheaterDude 5 лет назад
In that space I would add a subwoofer to the mix. The ultra bookshelfs do not have nearly as much bass as the towers (how could they) they dont have two massive 8 inch subs in the bookshelfs. When I did that video of the bookshelfs and the pinnacles and towers, there was a clear difference in the books and towers. the mids and highs were very similar, but it lacks low end punch. Pair it with a good subwoofer and you have zero issue with the bookshelfs

There’s no real price difference between the Ultra & Prime Centre speaker so I’ll get the Ultra but here in Australia, there’s around $1000 difference between the Ultra & Prime towers. Will the Ultra Centre & Prime towers be matched ok? Or just keep saving for the Ultra’s?? Thanks again

Also I have a Klipsch RC 62 ii Centre, do you think the upgrade to RP450c is worth it, if I don’t go the SVS route?? I know you had the RP so would love your opinion as well?? Thanks again mate

@@bigchimpin4215 *sensitive, not efficient. Also audacity saw a 6db idfference and not the 12db as spec say. Melt my brain ? Why ? Reference levels are at 105db and if your speakers are 4 meters away from the listening position, they need to produce 117db. Most movies are not mixed to reach these kind of levels so 100db at the listening position is about right for movies.

There is no way a Klipsch horned will sound like that, specially the 7III’s. I liked the video but no one can say a speaker is better than the other just by listening some demo music on video. There’s a lot of factors that has to be considered. However, in the reviewer stand point I found the video very informative and my full respect for Chris, even if I differ from his opinion. He always do a great job.

Damn dude. I have lots of homework to do. I appreciate your help. I right now have a sony 1070 which i plan on upgrading to a newer Denon. I like the sony but have decided on that. Ok now the main part. Yes I'm a bit disappointed on your review on the klipsch and SVS. I did keep an open mind on it and i hang my head low knowing that my klipsch have been out done. I heard it and knew those SVS really kick butt. I have the 280 Reference series thats missing a sub. Which keyed me into your channel. With the sub give away. In return i gained something better. I gained some Theatre Dude knowledge. Thanks for guiding me in the right direction on these speakers. I cant afford to fork out money on stereo equipment so im going to keep watching your channel to get what i need. Still sad on the Klipsch but its not the first time for me on equipment. Thanks again for your time, money, and experience on your reviews. For i only can afford my time because i dont have the money or as much experience. So please still keep me in mind for the sub because it will be many many years before i get what i need. Which is the Denon and SVS speakers set. Can you help me on what i need for surround speakers to go with the Ultra SVS and the SVS sb 3000 you reviewed. Sorry my comment was so long but wanted you to know your at least helping me. I seen a few negotive comments on your other reviews and its not needed due to i would take your word over theres. THANKS Dude!!!

But in general I found also the svs a bit more punchy and clearer which comes down that they have a independent driver for the different frequencies
