The goal, whether for music or film, is to transport the ingredients of realism, that is, texture, dimension and presence, to every seat in your living room. For 30 years Snell Acoustics has hand crafted speaker systems to envelop the listener with incredible bandwidth and precise imaging. The new full-range B7 tower extends this Snell tradition of musical realism. Designed by Joe D'Appolito Ph.D., Snell's chief Engineer, the B7 boasts dual 4.5-inch machined magnesium midrange drivers mounted over and under a 1-inch SEAS silk dome tweeter. This configuration, called a D'Appolito Array, is famous for providing a startling three-dimensional sound stage. The bass is anchored by two 8-inch aluminum, side-firing woofers, \"Force Balanced\" by their back-to-back placement. This arrangement filters unwanted cabinet resonance for more detail and authoritive bass. Designed for the real world of unpredictable room acoustics and placement considerations, the B7 is flexible to place and beautifully hand finished in natural cherry. The narrow profile real wood cabinets are veneer matched as pairs. The grilles and solid aluminum top plates are black. Like all Snell loudspeakers, each B7 is hand tuned for natural imaging and sonic depth. With an original list price of $14,000 a pair, Audio Classics has a limited quantity of these speakers, starting pre-owned at $6999 Pair... or NEW in Box at $7999 Pair.
