Premier Series

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.
