End of Snell Acoustics?

What do you folks think about the Type C/i from Snell? I have a pair that I was using as my mains while I rebuilt my big Infinity speakers and I found the Snells to be quite nice sounding, with very good bass and smooth mids/highs.

I was planning to sell them now that I'm done with the Infinitys, but I have become a bit attached to them.

Anyone else know this speaker?

Too bad. Great company that was very underated. I love my E-III's. Just had them re-foamed. I'm going to try my Quicksilver V4 amps on them as I think they would be quite tube friendly. Maybe easier for the Quickies to drive than my Vandersteen 3A Sigs. Anybody out there ever use Quicksilver V4 amps with Snell speakers?

Michaeljbrown, I had Type Bs back in the day, after earlier having had Type EIIIs. The Bs have unrestrained macrodynamic ease and go deeeeeep in the bass, but I found them to be difficult to set up in such a manner that they did not overload the room in the bottom octaves (and I had them in two distinctly different rooms). If Atmasphere has a line on a pair for $1,200 it's a no-brainer, though, you should definitely try them! A great rock 'n roll speaker.

Thanks Triode--I wonder how they would compare to my thiel 2.3's which I would be replacing.

It is sad to hear that these great speakers will no longer be produced. But I am happy to hear someone comment on the ci which I have owned since 87. Ait, I have found the ci's to perform as exactly as you feel and more. Over the years of making improvements in components, cables and room interaction these speakers continue to reveal themselves to me. IMO this speaker is grossly underated.
