Compared to my Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v3s, which when new in 2005 sold for $2300 a pair, the SVS Prime Towers showed both their limitations and their strengths. No one in his right mind would expect the Prime Towers to match the Studio 100 v3s, which have more drivers and are bigger in size and internal volume. The Paradigms went lower, with more cleanliness and weight, had a clearer midrange, and a top end that extended far beyond the level of my aural ability to track. But the Prime Towers weren’t all that far behind. They had enough depth on the bottom end to satisfy, they had better-than-expected midrange cleanliness, good detail retrieval and dynamic range, and enough top-end detail and air to keep me listening. The Prime Towers demonstrated that they come far closer to the Paradigms than I’d gone into this review thinking they would, and they showed what can happen to preconceived notions if one is open-minded.
