Snell Signature Series loudspeakers - K7
Is Bigger Always Better?...Can Speakers Be Beautiful
The Snell Series 7 loudspeakers reveal the
depth, impact and nuance in every music and
movie soundtrack without the obtrusive look
and placement conflicts of typical speakers.
Handcrafted in Massachusetts from real wood
and solid aluminum, the elegant Series 7 with its
soft lines and superb finish plays perfect host to
the technology inside.
K7 Style and room architecture play a bigger role
in home entertainment decisions than ever
before.The smallest of the Series 7,the K7 is
designed to perform,regardless of placement,and
integrate with most decor. Based on newly
developed, high performance drivers from
SEAS,and (quite) a bit of magic from Snell ’s chief
engineer, Joe D ’Appolito Ph.D., the K7 betters its
award winning predecessor, the K.5mk2,in half
the physical size. Fine tuned with an individually calibrated crossover, the shoe-box sized K7
plays music and movies at concert hall levels, with startling dimension and clarity.
