Is bigger always better?...Can speakers be beautiful?
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.
B300 The basis for any good music or cinema system is the
bottom end. A subwoofer allows the main speakers to be more
compact, and can be fine-tuned to individual needs. Why then,
do so many subwoofers sound boomy? Most “sell-off” quality for
a big woofer and more watts. They use cheaply made vinyl
boxes, losing texture and detail for shake and quake. The Snell
Basis 300 features an extremely tight, long throw 10-inch woofer,
with a neo magnet and cast frame. Its total excursion is nearly an
inch! Coupled with a 300-Watt amplifier and a very sophisticated
cabinet, the B300 is deep, tight, and blends seamlessly to
the front speakers.
