Elegant, Enduring, Accurate

For 30 years Snell Acoustics has designed and manufactured high-end loudspeakers in Massachusetts. Known for beautiful hand-made cabinets, award winning sound, and its pioneering efforts with THX™, Snell enjoys its place among the best home theaters and music rooms in the world.

Innovative engineering, unique in-house cabinet making, and .5dB system tuning have always given Snell its performance edge. New models carry on these traditions, while adding world-class industrial design and many performance enhancements. Snell's mission remains unchanged; design and handcraft premium loudspeakers that sonically and visually integrate to the home environment.

To properly integrate hi-performance audio into today’s home architecture and décor, Snell employs the “In-Concept” product development strategy. “In-Room” speakers, the mainstay of Snell’s premium-brand reputation, set an acoustic and cosmetic reference for each performance level. These designs often win industry awards and are the subject of many audio reviews. Snell’s engineers re-engineer these designs for “In-Cabinet”, “In-Ceiling” and “In-Wall” locations. Furthermore, any Snell speaker can be “In-tegrated” to these fashion applications with custom finishes and in some cases custom dimensions. The result is a line of hi-end speakers that is very appropriate for two-channel stereo and multi-channel home theater, which can be mixed and matched to achieve impact, clarity and soundstage without undermining room architecture and design.

In 2003, Joe D'Appolito Ph.D. joined Snell as chief engineer. Best known for the D'Appolito Array, Joe has designed commercial loudspeakers for over twenty years, including many designs for some of the industry's best driver manufacturers. Uniquely he is the author of the world's only book on loudspeaker testing.
