Krell Industries has again raised the bar in the category
of high-end home theater and audio components with the introduction of the
Resolution Series loudspeakers. Applying the same Lossless Acoustic Transducer
(LAT) technology and design principles that are the foundation of the LAT Series
loudspeakers, the Resolution Series marries state-of-the-art components with
beautifully crafted cabinets to create a loudspeaker unlike any before it.
 Understanding
that cabinet construction is as vital to the performance of a loudspeaker as the
drivers and crossover network, the Resolution Series cabinets are a robust
1-inch thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) while the baffles are an
unprecedented 2-inch thick MDF ensuring the complete elimination of baffle
resonance. Midrange drivers are isolated within their own enclosures and the
speaker's internal bracing is asymmetrically aligned to further increase the
cabinet's rigidity. The curvature of the cabinets not only adds to their
aesthetics, but also helps eliminate internal standing waves that can be
detrimental to sound quality.
Performance enhancements extend way beyond the cabinet to the drivers and
crossover networks. The Resolution Series' 1-inch tweeters feature an integral
"waveguide" for enhanced dispersion characteristics and the mid-bass drivers
utilize a unique mounting system that decouples the driver frame from the baffle
thereby eliminating sonic colorations. Proprietary suspensions and extended
voice coil structures assure linear performance, and the driver frames are made
of a cast aluminum-magnesium alloy for high efficiency performance and immunity
to overheating.
Krell's extensive knowledge in building high performance electronics gave them
the expertise to build a crossover network for the Resolution Series that acts
like a natural extension to their amplifiers, effectively directing the power to
the drivers unimpeded. All crossover components are mounted on 1/8-inch epoxy
glass circuit boards and the multiple potted polypropylene capacitors are wired
in parallel to minimize inductance and resistance causing less amplifier strain
and making the speakers effortless to drive. The Resolution Series crossover
networks are also
engineered to provide an extremely smooth impedance curve with high efficiency,
thereby, presenting a predictable, nearly ideal load to the power amplifier. All
of the Resolution speakers feature high quality, WBT binding posts for better
connectivity and are available in a beautiful Cherry finish. When combined with
Krell's Class A, KAV or Showcase electronics, the Resolution Series loudspeakers
complete a music and home theater system of stunning dynamics and clarity.
Resolution 1 is the bi-wireable, 4-way floor standing
flagship of the Resolution Series featuring a 1-inch dual-concentric-ring
tweeter featuring "waveguide" (the same tweeter in all models), 4-inch midrange,
8-inch mid-woofer and two 10-inch aluminum cone woofers. Frequency response is
conservatively rated at 25Hz - 20 kHz, and rated sensitivity is 90dB. Dimensions
(in inches) (WxHxD): 13.2 x 56 x 17, 195-lbs. MSRP: 11,000/pair. Shipping now.
Resolution 2 is only slightly less statuesque than its big brother. The bi-wireable,
3-way floor standing speaker features a 1-inch tweeter, 6.5-inch midrange and
two 8-inch woofers. Frequency response is conservatively rated at 28Hz - 20 kHz,
and rated sensitivity is 89dB. Dimensions: 11.6 x 46 x 17, 140-lbs. MSRP:
$8,000/pair. Shipping now.
Resolution 3 is a bi-wireable, two-way monitor speaker featuring a 1-inch
tweeter and an 8-inch mid-bass driver. Frequency response is rated at 52Hz -
20kHz, and rated sensitivity is 88dB. Dimensions: 11.3 x 16 x 14, 45-lbs. MSRP:
$4000/pair. Shipping now.
Resolution C was designed to be the all important center channel speaker in a
Resolution Series multi-channel speaker system. Its 3-way design features a
1-inch tweeter, 4-inch midrange and two 8-inch woofers in a sealed cabinet.
Frequency response is rated at 45Hz - 20kHz, and rated sensitivity is 89dB.
Dimensions: 32 x 11.6 x 14, 90-lbs. MSRP: $3500/each. Shipping now.
Resolution Subwoofer - The powerhouse of the group, the Resolution Subwoofer is
still in development, but tentative plans call for a 15-inch woofer powered by
an internal, Krell-designed 700-watt amplifier. Availability is set for late
first quarter 2004.
