Evolution and re-designed LAT Series combine at CEDIA 2005 for the first ever demonstration of an Evolution HEAT system.

25-Aug-05

At CEDIA Expo 2005 Krell Industries will unveil the first ever demonstration of an Evolution Series-based HEATô (High End Audio Theater) home theatre system. In what has come be known as the ìKrell/Runcoî theatre, Krell will showcase the Evolution Series and completely redesigned LAT Series speakers, including the debut of the LAT-C1000 center channel speaker, in what promises to be the most staggering home theatre presentation on the Expo show floor. For the first time anywhere Krell will combine seven monaural Evolution One amplifiers with a pair of LAT-1000 tower speakers, LAT-C1000 center speaker, four LAT-2000 bookshelf/surround speakers and two Master Reference Subwoofers. This 11,500-watt, 7.2 configuration represents one of the most high-powered, and expensive home theatre systems Krell has demonstrated anywhere. CEDIA 2005 also marks the introduction of the LAT-C1000. As with the recently introduced LAT-1000 and 2000, the C1000 has been completely redesigned from the original LAT-C. A 3-way design, the LAT-C1000 employs five drivers: a 1-inch ScanSpeak tweeter, two 5.25-inch Seas midrange drivers, and two 8-inch woofers that are exclusive to Krell and the new LAT Series. Evolution One The Evolution Series culminates more than two decades of cutting edge audio design. The Evolution One is a Class A, 450-watt monaural amplifier that utilizes proprietary current gain topologies from input to output allowing the audio signal to remain in the current domain throughout the entire amplifier thereby avoiding unnecessary current to voltage conversions that add distortion, require heavy feedback and severely limit bandwidth. The Evolution One circuitry is virtually devoid of feedback and sports a bandwidth an order of magnitude greater than any conventional design. LAT 1000 Series The LAT-1000, LAT-2000 and LAT-C1000 feature new drivers, retuned enclosures and improved crossover networks to create the most dynamic and musical speaker system ever devised. The LAT-1, LAT-2 and LAT-C remain in the Krell lineup and owners of these models can upgrade to the new versions.
