SECTION ONE
About Krell
Thank you for your Resolution Series loudspeaker purchase.
This section describes the Krell Legacy, Krell’s innovative loudspeaker design and technology, and defines key terms used in this reference.
The Krell Legacy
“I design every Krell component to set the standard
for workmanship, style, and performance.”
Dan D’Agostino
High-end audio is a demanding pursuit—an ongoing quest for excellence in music reproduction that drives equipment manufacturers to strive for the absolute in design and performance. With a keen understanding of this passionate drive, Krell Industries, Inc., was founded in 1980.
For more than two decades, Krell has earned a distinguished reputation for engineering innovation and product excellence. The company’s history is replete with product introductions that have deeply impacted the high-end audio industry. The most discriminating audiophiles and product reviewers have consistently recognized Krell components for standard-setting performance.
The Lossless Acoustic Transducer (LAT) Series of loudspeakers introduced the next era at Krell Industries —the era of loudspeaker design and manufacture. The Resolution Series Loudspeakers apply the same technology and design principles that are the foundation of the LAT Series. The combination of state-of-the-art components, extremely efficient, well designed crossover networks, and beautifully crafted cabinets create a unique loudspeaker series, unlike any before.
The Resolution Series Loudspeakers
All Resolution loudspeakers feature heavily braced enclosures with 2" thick baffles for superior vibration damping. Driver complements are matched to the enclosure and customized to Krell’s specifications. All crossovers are highly current-capable and designed by Krell.

(SECTION ONE: About Krell continued)
The 4-way floor standing Resolution 1 and the 3-way floor standing Resolution 2 loudspeakers are suited for use in 2-channel systems or as the main left and right loudspeakers in a multi-channel home theater set-up. The 2-way bookshelf Resolution 3 loudspeakers work well in small two-channel systems or as surround loudspeakers in multi-channel home theaters. The 3-way center channel Resolution C loudspeaker features nearly the same driver complement as the Resolution 2, and can be operated full-range.
Unparalleled Sonic Performance
From the first Krell product —the KSA –100 —to the present, Dan D’Agostino has continually “pushed the envelope” of performance in his search for greater amplifier power, and now, loudspeaker response. His exploration of technologies, driven by his never-ending quest to elevate the standard of excellence, has resulted in breakthrough audio designs.
Over the years, the Krell line of power amplifiers, including benchmark products such as the KRS –100, KRS–200, and the Audio Standard models, has established a legacy of unparalleled sonic performance—the Krell level of performance. The LAT Series, the first loudspeaker series introduced by Krell, brought the Krell level of performance to loudspeakers worldwide. The Resolution Series of loudspeakers continues this Krell tradition.
Dan D’Agostino remains committed to the development of new designs and technologies. And the Krell legacy will continue to evolve with products that deliver innovative engineering, perfection in build quality, and outstanding audio performance.

Definition of Terms
Following are the definitions of key terms used in your owner’s reference manual.
Krell HEAT
Crossover
Technology
Krell HEAT, or High End Audio Theater, is a design application incorporated into Krell components to enhance multi-channel home entertainment systems. A Krell HEAT system is an integrated home theater system consisting of a state-of-the-art Krell preamp/processor and matching amplifiers and loudspeakers that reproduce two-channel and multi-channel sources with audiophile sound quality, placing listeners in the middle of a lifelike environment.
A crossover is used to maximize the efficient delivery of all of the sound reproduction tasks across the entire audible spectrum. The crossover splits the audible spectrum into separate frequency bands for the distribution of content to different drivers in a loudspeaker. A two-way crossover, for instance, may split the audible spectrum into two frequency bands, from 20 Hz to 2 kHz and from 2kHz to 20 kHz and above. The loudspeaker woofer driver reproduces content from 20 Hz to 2 kHz, while the tweeter reproduces content from 2 kHz to 20 kHz and above.

For all models, attach the loudspeaker grille after you place the loudspeaker in position in the listening area.
