I think the real story is how well the Prime series does. While the Ultra speakers sound better, there is not a great disparity. The Prime series has kept me happy for a very long time, and economically they offer a lot of bang for the buck.
While inexpensive, they are certainly NOT a "cheap" speaker. The use of legitimate crossovers, a stout enclosure, and intensive tuning by SVS staff including Smith Freeman and Gary Yacoubian.
In their goal to bring true high end audiophile sound to the masses, SVS has really hit the mark. The Prime series is very easy to recommend, and the ability to trade up within a year is icing on the cake. Order factory direct (through the "sub101.link" links above) to ensure 1 year trade up.
The Ultra series is also a strong value, they easily punch above their weight with a gorgeous sound. The goal with the speakers in the SVS family was not to compete with speakers in the $1,000 and under range, but more the $2000+ range when it comes to the actual sound.
There are certainly speakers that have more flash, and more exciting finishes, like Icelandic zebra wood blessed by the ancient monks of Antarctica, but otherwise the finishes are quality that could fit most decors.

LG 4K 3D that I replaced previous Vizio with a Square Trade type warranty. Love the LG, some issues aside. Going through Amazon means you can get a decently priced 5 year warranty (strongly recommend for TV's and AVR's)
