There's more. Connections include HDMI, line-level, and optical, as well as subwoofer out. If you add an active subwoofer—this speaker is said to work with subs from other brands—the crossover point is 80Hz. Control is either by remote or connections on the front and rear panel. There are six presents for programming playlists and Tidal stations.
How did it sound? Surprisingly good, with convincing bass. So convincing that I asked if SVS was using a subwoofer. They were not. Nor was the sound "cheap" or brash sounding. I was extremely impressed. If these speakers perform this well in a variety of situations, they have the potential to set a new benchmark for what can be achieved at this price.
When I first entered the room, SVS was in home theater demo mode. The brief iPhone video clip above does not begin to convey the power of SVS's low end. I may not be convinced that walking into multiple major conflagrations and room-shaking explosions makes for good feng shui, but who am I to say?
