Power Range
Power
range is the range of input power in watts RMS that a loudspeaker is designed to handle. While using an amplifier within this range ensures the nominal performance , inputting a power that is higher than the max wattage can result in a damaged speaker.
Ultra Evolution Pinnacle and Ultra Evolution Titan has the same power range of 20-300 watts.
Keep in mind that a higher max power handling value doesn't necessarily make that a louder speaker
compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters
such as Impedance, sensitivity and system efficiencies.
Input Type and Bi-Amping / Bi-Wiring
Both Ultra Evolution Pinnacle and Ultra Evolution Titan features dual binding post speaker terminals for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle's Gold-plated 5-way terminals allows Bi-amping or bi-wiring
SVS Ultra Evolution Titan's Gold-plated 5-way terminals allows Bi-amping or bi-wiring
Cabinet Type and Port Position
Both Ultra Evolution Pinnacle and Ultra Evolution Titan 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
Size of a speaker can sometimes become an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons. In this section, we are going to compare SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle's and SVS Ultra Evolution Titan's external dimensions. SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle has external dimensions of 1275 x 300 x 460.7mm (D) ( 50.2 x 11.81 x 18.14”) whereas SVS Ultra Evolution Titan has external dimensions of 1197 x 249 x 439.3mm (D ( 47.13 x 9.8 x 17.3”) .
SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle is clearly the larger of the two speakers. Its body is 51mm wider, 78mm taller and 22mm deeper than SVS Ultra Evolution Titan.
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 SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle is approximately 1383.0cm2 / 214.4inch2 and base area of the SVS Ultra Evolution Titan is approximately 1093.1cm2 / 169.4inch2. The Ultra Evolution Pinnacle requires 27% more surface area than the Ultra Evolution Titan 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 SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle weighs 43.90kg / 96.6lbs and the SVS Ultra Evolution Titan weighs 31.60kg / 69.5lbs. This makes the Ultra Evolution Pinnacle 39% heavier than the Ultra Evolution Titan.
