Overview
As a dedicated center channel, SVS's Prime Center carries a 5.25 inch driver in a wired, 20 pound cabinet finished in Premium Black Ash and sized at 12 by 23 by 13 inches.
This is a single center channel speaker, not a full set. Front, surround, and subwoofer speakers get added separately to build out a complete home theater system around it.
- 5.25 inch driver
- 12 x 23 x 13 in cabinet size
- SVS brand
Who it's for
This suits buyers assembling or upgrading a full speaker-based home theater who need a dedicated center channel for dialogue; it doesn't suit anyone wanting an all-in-one soundbar.
Pros and cons
- Purpose-built center channel for dialogue clarity
- Premium Black Ash finish
- Solid 20 lb cabinet construction
- Needs a separate AV receiver to power it
- Requires matching front and surround speakers separately
- Larger and heavier than compact center channels
Performance notes
The 5.25 inch driver and wired connection point to a passive design that needs to be run from an AV receiver rather than working on its own, and at 20 lb with a 12 x 23 x 13 in cabinet it's built as a substantial standalone unit rather than a lightweight accessory.
