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 engi- neering 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 recog- nized 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 beautiful- ly 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.

RESOLUTION 1 specifications

Krell Industries has long been revered for its high-fidelity audio equipment, and the RESOLUTION 1 speaker is a testament to their commitment to excellence. Designed for the discerning audiophile, the RESOLUTION 1 incorporates advanced technologies and meticulous craftsmanship to deliver an unparalleled listening experience.

One of the standout features of the RESOLUTION 1 is its proprietary bass management system. The speaker employs a unique arrangement of dual 8-inch woofers, each optimized for efficient low-frequency reproduction. This design allows for deep, powerful bass that maintains clarity and articulation, ensuring that every note is rendered precisely. The woofers are crafted from a lightweight yet rigid material, preventing distortion even at high volumes.

The midrange is handled by a custom-designed 6.5-inch driver, tuned to deliver exceptionally natural vocals and instrumental performances. This driver is engineered to minimize resonance and provide a smooth response across the critical mid-range frequency spectrum. As a result, listeners can expect a rich, immersive soundstage that brings music to life with stunning realism.

High frequencies are reproduced by a state-of-the-art ribbon tweeter, known for its ability to produce extended frequency response and exceptional transient response. The tweeter's design allows for a wide dispersion pattern, ensuring that the sweet spot is large and accommodating, so that everyone in the room can enjoy the same pristine sound quality.

The cabinet design of the RESOLUTION 1 is equally impressive. Constructed from high-density MDF and featuring reinforced bracing, the enclosure is engineered to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonance, which in turn enhances audio clarity. The speakers are finished with a luxurious veneer, available in a variety of finishes to suit any home décor.

Connectivity options are plentiful, with the RESOLUTION 1 supporting both single and bi-wire configurations, allowing users to optimize their setup according to their personal preferences. The crossover network is meticulously designed to ensure seamless integration between the drivers, delivering a coherent and balanced sound signature across all frequencies.

In summary, the Krell Industries RESOLUTION 1 speaker represents the pinnacle of audio engineering, boasting advanced bass management, high-quality drivers, and a finely crafted enclosure. Its thoughtful design and cutting-edge technologies make it a standout choice for anyone seeking an exceptional high-fidelity audio experience. Whether for music or home theater applications, the RESOLUTION 1 is poised to deliver sound that resonates with emotion and precision.
