Snell type A and Snell type A series III

@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.

would keep the AIIIs and sell the A's. I used to have two pairs of AIIIi's. really great speaker. But all the Snells needed a ton of power to sound their best. All of them should have the woofer foams looked at. They are all old enough, the foam surround is likely on its way out. 

Since you have the boxes for the III's sell and ship those. Keep the I's! 

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.
