Low Frequency

Min
Average
Median

Neither pair reaches down to 20Hz, the usual definition of full-range, which is normal for speakers of this size. If you want the bottom octave for movies or bass-heavy music, add a subwoofer to whichever you choose. Visit our Powered Subwoofers section to find out more about the available options.

Cabinet Type and Port Position

Both The Sevens and Prime Wireless Pro have rear firing ports. Rear ported speakers generally need more room between the backside of the speaker and the wall compared to sealed and front/bottom ported speakers. Placing the speakers too close to the walls may cause the bass to sound boomy.

If you are limited in space and can't get the speakers away from the backwall, check our Speakers with Front Firing Ports page.

Physical Specs

The size of a speaker can sometimes be an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare Klipsch The Sevens's and SVS Prime Wireless Pro's external dimensions. Klipsch The Sevens has external dimensions of 416.0 x 207.0 x 335.0mm (16.375inch x 8.125inch x 13.1875inch) whereas SVS Prime Wireless Pro has external dimensions of 295 x 180 x 228mm (11.61 x 7.09 x 8.96 inch).

Klipsch The Sevens is clearly the larger of the two speakers. Its body is 27mm wider, 121mm taller and 107mm deeper than SVS Prime Wireless Pro.

Base Surface Area Comparison
Base surface area of a loudspeaker may become a determining factor when the space in your room or desk is limited. The base surface area of the Klipsch The Sevens is approximately 693.5cm2 / 107.5inch2 and base area of the SVS Prime Wireless Pro is approximately 410.4cm2 / 63.6inch2. The Sevens requires 69% more surface area than the Prime Wireless Pro which gives it a small disadvantage on placement in tight spaces.

Weight Comparison

The weight of a loudspeaker can become an important factor if you need to move and reposition the unit often. Weight of a speaker can also "sometimes" be an indicator of the rigidity of the enclosure and the quality of the internal components used. The Klipsch The Sevens weighs 9.03kg / 19.9lbs and the SVS Prime Wireless Pro weighs 5.30kg / 11.7lbs. This makes The Sevens 70% heavier than the Prime Wireless Pro.

Here is a comparison of how The Sevens and Prime Wireless Pro's weights compare with the average, max and min weights in Powered Bookshelf class.

Verdict

No single best speaker here - they are built to different priorities, and the right one depends on your room, your sources and what you listen to.

AreaBetterWhy
BassAKlipsch The Sevens digs deeper - 39Hz against 42Hz. A subwoofer would even that out.
Built-in powerevenly matchedSimilar onboard amplification (200W vs 200W RMS).
ConnectionsBKlipsch The Sevens adds phono; SVS Prime Wireless Pro adds Wi-Fi and streaming.
SizedependsSVS Prime Wireless Pro is easier to place; Klipsch The Sevens is bigger, which usually goes with fuller bass. Your room decides.
ExpandabilitydependsKlipsch The Sevens: a sub output; SVS Prime Wireless Pro: a sub output. SVS Prime Wireless Pro sits in a wider range (8 models), so a matched surround system is easier later.
PriceBSVS Prime Wireless Pro is cheaper - $899 against $1,299, about 31% less.

A Klipsch The Sevens  B SVS Prime Wireless Pro
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both speakers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.

Which should you choose?

Neither runs away with it - they trade advantages. Let the "depends" rows and your own room settle it. In a large or open-plan room, Klipsch The Sevens has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, SVS Prime Wireless Pro is the easier speaker to get right. Think about the whole system, not just the speakers: the roughly $400 saved by taking the cheaper pair would buy a subwoofer or a better amplifier, and either usually does more for the sound than the difference between these two.

And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
