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 Titan and Ultra Evolution Pinnacle 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 Titan and Ultra Evolution Pinnacle features dual binding post speaker terminals for bi-amping or bi-wiring.
Cabinet Type and Port Position
Both Ultra Evolution Titan and Ultra Evolution Pinnacle 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.

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 Titan is approximately 1093.1cm2 / 169.4inch2 and base area of the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle is approximately 1383.0cm2 / 214.4inch2. The Ultra Evolution Titan requires 21% less surface area than the Ultra Evolution Pinnacle which gives it a small advantage 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 Titan weighs 31.60kg / 69.5lbs and the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacle weighs 43.90kg / 96.6lbs. This makes the Ultra Evolution Pinnacle 39% heavier than the Ultra Evolution Titan.
