THE ULTIMATE HOME THEATER LOUDSPEAKER

The Snell XA2900 is the highest performance front speaker available for home theater installation. It brings together the best of loudspeaker design, construction, and innovation to achieve ultra high-end performance when built into dedicated home theaters and screening rooms. I

Hand built in Snell’s wood-shop in Haverhill, Ma, the sophisti- cated enclosure is fabricated using a unique multilayer process, whereby a high loss polymer damping compound is sandwiched between an inner cabinet and outer cabinet. The result is a remarkably dense and non-resonant structure.

Featuring the eXpanding Array (XA), a unique driver arrangement developed from months of computer modeling, the XA 2900 assures extremely flat response directed to the listening area, while quieting the floor and ceiling reflections that bounce back to the listener as distortion. These optimum dispersion charac- teristics are enhanced by the use of the drivers chosen for the

$25,000 XA Reference Tower. Together they provide the maxi- mum in output, power-handling, bandwidth, and accuracy.

The highly detailed crossover, also from the XA Reference Tower, seamlessly combines all elements. Innovatively, four switches are employed to “tune out” distortions induced by typical installa- tion conditions. Notably, the Boundary Switch which tunes for flattest response, whether the speaker is located in free space, near a rear wall, or on the floor. And, the Upper Treble Switch which accurately compensates for the loss of treble when mounting the XA 2900 behind perforated film screens.

For the ultimate home theater speaker, nothing come close to the XA 2900.
