technology, and defines key terms used in this reference.
The Krell Legacy
“I design every Krell component to set the standard
for workmanship, style, and performance.”
Dan D’Agostino
High-end audio is a demanding pursuit—an ongoing quest for excellence in
music reproduction that drives equipment manufacturers to strive for the absolute
in design and performance. With a keen understanding of this passionate drive,
Krell Industries, Inc., was founded in 1980.
Over the past two decades, Krell has earned a distinguished reputation for engineer-
ing innovation and product excellence. The company’s history is replete with product
introductions that have deeply impacted the high-end audio industry. The most
discriminating audiophiles and product reviewers have consistently recognized Krell
components for standard-setting performance.
The Lossless Acoustic Transducer (LAT) represents the next era at Krell Industries
— the era of loudspeaker design and manufacture — which will join the ongoing
legacy of Krell amplifiers. For two decades, Krell C.E.O. Dan D’Agostino has
built amplifiers legendary for their ability to deliver optimum performance for any
loudspeaker. This experience has yielded invaluable insights about the nature of
loudspeaker design, which Krell has characteristically incorporated into the LAT
Series.
The LAT Series of Loudspeakers
The LAT–1, a reference-caliber loudspeaker, employs an all-aluminum enclosure
that remains sonically inert, with a baffle that absorbs vibrations and houses custom-
made drivers, and a robust, high-power crossover— a loudspeaker capable of
handling the legendary power of Krell amplifiers, while maintaining pinpoint
accuracy and resolution.
