Joe D'Appolito has designed a loudspeaker or two in his day and has been associated with numerous loudspeaker makers. Of late he serves as chief engineer at Snell Acoustics, and his latest offering is the Snell Acoustics B7.

 

The Snell B7 floorstanding loudspeaker uses the familiar Seas magnesium drivers. Driver complement is two 4.5" magnesium mids coupled with a 1" Seas Excel tweeter configured in an MTM arrangement. The bottom end is filled by dual 8" aluminum side firing woofers, which Snell claims reduces cabinet resonance and provides more authoritative bass and detail. Snell will finish the B7 in your choice of stains.

 

The Snell B7 loudspeaker looks like an improvement on the already solid Snell C7. The Snell B7 will set you back a cool $10k/pair. Soon to be joined by the Snell A7, which we are awaiting more details on at this time.
