The last set of speakers we had in, came in as a demo that were able to play around with for a couple of weeks. The Snell LCR7 is a compact sealed enclosure with dual 5 1/4 mid drivers and a 1″ tweeter.

I only had two of these so could not try out in a 5.1 setup. The imaging was very impressive and they had a very wide sound stage. A few times during movies I almost forgot there was no center channel running. The top end was very detailed and I could see these being an issue in reflective rooms, not bad, but you would want to take note when choosing your electronics or consider some form of room treatments.

As far as output for a relatively small speaker I had no issue with lack of loudness in my room. In fact they played as loud as I would want any speaker to and blended well with my SVS Ultra, no gaps between lows and mids. Powering them with a Marantz 7002 was not an issue either though I would have liked to have had a separate more powerful amp on hand to see the difference between the two with this set.

As these were not mine, I didn’t want to take the grills off. I took a couple of revealing shots of the drivers behind the grill seen below.
