Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker?


Any Snell experts out there? For the life of me, I cannot determine the model of this speaker. I’ve looked through almost all possible images of Snells on the interwebs. See photos at the following link:

The speaker looks like it might be in the K series. It looks very similar to those shown at https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649336012-snell-original-type-k-speakers-like-audio-note-ank/images/1464829/

Who knows where he got them?  He very well might have thought he was buying real Snell speakers and never questioned it?  Please keep us posted. I’m rather intrigued now...
The only reason you think they are Snell's is because of the badge on the grille, correct?  Doesn't take much effort to swap grills from one speaker to another, if they are close to the same size and will work.

If it were me, I'd remove the woofer and see if there are any markings or numbers on it and maybe check the inside walls for any type of manufacturer name or symbols.
I must admit, I was just having fun. Sound it out - DFNCT - defunct.

Oh...reviewer humor :-)
I also have never heard of the Snell DF-NCT?  I googled and googled and couldn't find a reference to them either.

Doug...what is a Snell DF-NCT?  Color me curious.
GREAT detective work sir!  I was pretty sure they weren't Snells.

Peter is turning over in his grave.  Geez, KLH, they could have at least used something better...
I’m not really a box speaker fan, but the Vienna Acoustics are excellent. TMR is also a fine dealer and will take care of you.

Those should be a major step up. Wonderful choice!
I was a Snell dealer for many years.  Peter and I became very good friends until he passed away.

Most Snell speakers used flush mounted round tweeters.  These might be from way later when Snell tried to do home theater type gear?

Also, these kinda look like BIC speakers to me.

IMHO, either the tweeters have been replaced and/or the grills aren't the correct ones.  It's a different speaker...
Snell never made a speaker that small either. These look pretty little. Even the J’s & K’s were bigger.

The Snell QBx series were smaller, but they have a completely different front contour to them. They did have a square, non-flush mounted tweeter, but still very different.

If I was a gambling man, (which I’m not), I don’t think these are Snell’s.

Maybe they're White Van Schnell speakers :-)
