Question 1

What is the angle of the enclosure?  Depth is listed just under 9 inches, depth of shallow side not listed.

Accepted Answer

From architectural drawings:

Long end depth: 7.80in
Long end depth with grille: 8.23in
Short end depth: 4.45in
Short end depth with grille: 4.84in

Question 2

Can the speaker sit on the Tweeter side down by itself without mounting it to a wall? I want to put it on top of my speakers that are 7 feet tall

Accepted Answer

Given its angling I wouldn't recommend this as a speaker to sit on top of a tower speaker.

Question 3

Since these are Ported in back, does the sound improve if they’re further away from a wall, or does covering the port with a wall improve the sound?

Accepted Answer

It is correct that the speakers have a port on the rear side like many speakers. However, the speakers come with a special wall mounting bracket that holds them a bit away from the wall so that the port has enough clearance (about 1/2 to 1 inch) to allow it to breath so that it still operates essentially according to specification as far as the frequency response curve is concerned.  If you don't use the special bracket and place the speaker right up against the wall with no clearance fully covering the port, the tendency would be to raise the lower cut off frequency of the speaker somewhat. In that case the treble and midrange won't be affected, but the base frequencies may be somewhat reduced. Also, depending on resonances, it may start to sound a bit muddy in the high upper base and it may transmit more vibrations to the wall itself which might also cause undesirable sound characteristics.   When I mounted my speakers I actually did not use the supplied wall bracket but made my own customized wall shelf that Victorian style woodwork that accomplishes the same thing (keeps it out about an inch from the wall) but also has a very ornate look consistent for the architecture of the listening room where my home theater is. These speakers work great. I'm very happy with them. Just make sure you use the bracket to keep it out a bit from the wall.

Question 4

Are thes sold individually or as a pair?

Accepted Answer

Pair here on Amazon. Though on SVS website you can buy them individually. On SVS website they do sometimes have individual ones that were returned as a customer did not care for them or factory blemished speakers with a slight scratch. The speakers that were returned are fully checked out, tested and you get the original factory 2 year warranty and a nice discount too. I highly recommend SVS products. I use the Prime Elevation speakers as rear backs in my 7.1 set up. Also have the SVS PB-12plus sub.
