Kinnara

Open Source Kit: Not available as full kit, read below for details.

Introducing the Kinnara. At its heart sits the SB20PFCS30-7 8 inch paper diaphragm woofer, designed specifically for sealed enclosures. Employing low-mass foam surround enhances midrange definition, delivering exceptional transparency and very wide bandwidth.

Kinnara demonstrates the principle of a large series capacitor to sculpt the bass response of its high-Q sealed cabinet. This capacitor tuning tames the natural resonance peak and the result is well controlled bass extension with exceptional musicality.

The well behaved and exceptionally low distortion SB26ADC-C000-4 26mm Aluminum dome tweeter handles the top frequencies and integrates seamlessly to the 8 inch woofer with great phase alignment through the crossover region.

Visually, Kinnara nods to the Snell Type E with clean lines and a restrained, timeless profile. The vertically tapered enclosure effectively terminates standing waves, still, the front and side view is strictly clean and classical with no distractions.

Kinnara complements any listening environment with its understated elegance and graceful understatement. A superbly musical and enjoyable speaker that lets you forget about the equipment and simply draws you towards the musical experience.
