Snell Acoustics Home Theater System XA 2500 User Manual

A NEW REFERENCE FOR HIGH- END HOME THEATER  
The Snell XA2500 Is the driver set and crossover from the XA 2900, Snells award  
winning Reference LCR, mounted in a handmade utility enclosure. The result is an  
LCR that approaches the performance levels of its Reference stablemate at less  
than half the price. By teaming the best of loudspeaker design, and innovation  
with a 3/4 MDF cabinet and Snells highly damped three part baffle, Dr. Joseph  
D’Appolito and his team are able to achieve remarkable bandwidth, output, and  
dimension when built into dedicated home theaters and screening rooms.  
Hand built by Snell in Peabody, Ma, The XA 2500 uses all the parts from the XA  
2900, except for the sophisticated multilayer enclosure, including the 8-inch  
aluminum cone woofers, 4.5-inch midranges and 1-inch pure titanium tweeter.  
In place of the Reference cabinet, the XA 2500 borrows from the XA 1900thx, by  
employing a traditional utility cabinet, with a multilayer baffle of two layers of  
dense MDF sandwiching a damping layer of 1.5mil neoprene. These cabinet  
details are what helped garner awards for both the XA 2900 and XA 1900thx  
Featuring the eXpanding Array (XA), a unique driver arrangement developed from  
months of computer modeling, the XA 2500 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  
characteristics are enhanced by the use of the drivers chosen for the $25,000 XA  
Reference Tower. Together they provide the maximum in output, power han-  
dling, bandwidth, and accuracy.

LCR FOR  
SCREENING ROOMS &  
HIGH END THEATERS  
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 installation conditions. Notably, the Boundary  
Switch that 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 that  
accurately compensates for the loss of treble when mounting the XA 2900  
behind perforated film screens.  
For applications demanding movie theater dynamics and output while preserving  
the detail and nuance in music, the XA 2500 exceeds all expectations.  
Available in both horizontal and vertical configurations.
