I bought a pair of Type A's from the original owner's family a few years ago. They had a shipping company pack and send via the USPS the four boxes to me in Florida from Connecticut. The total cost was $400. All arrived safely! So it can be done! I paid the family $400 for the Snell's.
Snell type A and Snell type A series III
I have a pair of each - long time Snell fan.. I need to sell one or both sets - getting old and moving to a smaller space. I am original owner of type A (bought in 1970's) and bought the series III from the original owner on Audiogon a little over ten years ago. I have the original boxes for the series III, but not for the type A, but I do have the original manual and frequency response chart for the type A. Both are in excellent condition in appearance and performance. I'd like any information as to the difference in desirability and in value. Shipping would obviously be difficult, but not impossible. Any Snell fans out there who can advise me?

@johnss +1! I was paid to replace the 10" woofers in a pair of Type A I's. The original woofers had foam rot. I used a pair of Acoustic Research 10" woofers from a pair of AR2's. Nice rubber surrounds - a lot older than the Snell woofers! The AR woofers were a drop-in replacement. No change in the bass sound! A successful repair! Now I will have to check the woofers on my Type A I's - they presently sit unused. |
