“In your situation, you should be getting nicer LR speakers, no question. There will always be another newer/better TV coming out next year. And ***especially*** when it comes to 83" OLEDs, their price premium is pretty steep compared to the 65/77" sizes. I would only really recommend buying them during the couple times a year when they go on sale for $2700-3000. Contrast this with a set of "premium midrange" speakers (~$5000 per pair). These are speaker that if you put in the proper due diligence on what type of sound you like, you can conceivably keep these for the rest of your life. These can be the speakers your SO will curse and need to find a way to get rid of when you pass 🥰 > but have heard amazing things about the SVS pinnacle towers. Nope, not good enough. As I said, you're spending ~$5K on this pair of speakers, and will probably be keeping them for at least a decade. Ideally, the rest of your life. At a bare minimum, you should audition them in person alongside a couple of other alternatives. I am not saying the SVS Ultra Evolution Pinnacles are bad. They are actually excellent speakers. I'm just saying you should actually understand what they are as well as what the alternatives are before you commit to buying them. Some of the other ~$5K alternatives that are also really great include: - KEF R11 Meta: https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/kefr11metablk/kef-r11-meta-pair-6.5-3-way-floor-standing-speakers-black/1.html - Ascend Acoustics ELX Towers (w/RAAL Ribbon Tweeter): https://ascendacoustics.com/collections/elx-series/products/elx-tower-pair?variant=40602626916406 - Philharmonic HT Towers: https://philharmonicaudio.com/products/ht-tower - Arendal 1723 THX Towers: https://store.arendalsound.com/product/1723-tower-thx/ - Possibly the Arendal 1528 Monitors if you can stretch your budget a tad more to $6K.”
