So, you take pride in saying about yourself that you're an audiophile. Well, now's the time to ask you how much you are willing to spend on a pair of exquisite loudspeakers. $10K? 20 grands? How about $35,000? Yes, your eyes read well, thirty-five thousand US dollars, for a pair of loudspeakers... not that they are the world's most expensive ones; as a matter of fact they are rather mid-ranged in this field... but what makes them great is the ultra-advanced technology, most careful hand-crafting and the 30 year-long audio excellence heritage. At last, we're speaking about the Snell Reference Tower A7 loudspeakers.

The Snell A7 is the new flagship product of the Massachusetts manufacturer and man, aren't these loudspeakers looking swell? They come with massive rounded cabinets that instantly kill any stationary waves and whose finish will instantly raise the value of any room they're in. The driver complement is rather massive itself and runs with two separated "blocks".

First of all we're talking about the dual array of 10-inch woofers with a rumbling 27Hz bottom end that are able to provide you with quite a shake when driven hard and will offer pristine bass performance in any conditions. The rest of the acoustic spectrum is reproduced by a d'Appolito array combining two magnesium 5.25" drivers vertically aligned over and under a silk tweeter. The sensitivity response of these speakers reaches a dazzling 110dB.

The product sports extreme dynamics and a lifelike response that is most suitable for the most critical listeners and any style, from the bluesiest vocal parts to the shredding rock passages; these loudspeakers will grant you an impressive performance and it will seem that the artists you'll be listening to are right in front of you. These units come with a cast aluminium base with four integrated feet and natural cherry with silver grilles or black-painted walnut with black grilles finishes, while other colors and finishes can be of course specially ordered for a certain price.

And once more, the Snell Reference Tower A7 pair sells for $35,000.
