Snell Type A

All good information. Thank you all very much.  My wife is not that happy with a large speaker again haha. 

I see where Snell sells the individual woofers for $275.00.  I do like roberjerman's idea of replacing the woofer with a speaker that has a rubber surround...Anyway, when I pick them up 30 June I will see what they need, if anything.   

I think mine is the 10 inch woofers.  You have some good ideas, thank you.

I wonder if somebody has written directions From Snell for that task?

Well, I got them, hooked them up and they sound terrific.  I’m wondering how to take the speaker grill off and see what it’s gonna take to replace the fabric on the top section.  Gonna look around Baton Rouge / New Orleans to see if a shop can tune them up as needed.  I will remove the bottom piece of wood to look at the woofers. 

Well I took the bottom wood off and discovered the woofer foam is broken apart. 

Agreed.  I know Snell recommends against it.  

I don't think I can remove staples before I get the enclosure off.

I found a place that will re-foam the woofers.  Two more questions. 1: How do I know if the spider needs to be replaced. It looks ok.  and 2: what is the soft white gasket material (like plumbers putty) that is between the metal speaker frame and where it screws to the wood cabinet?  Thanks much.  

Agreed.  I plan on having the woofers re foamed at an electronics shop in New Orleans.  I’m hoping the can also replace the grill cloth on the top part.  

If the speakers need new spiders I will end up purchasing some new woofers from the folks who handle Snell Acoustics parts.  Trying to keep the expense down but keep original parts.  

The Snell’s sound good since I had the woofers re-foamed.  Someone recommended that I power them with a separate amplifier and let the Denon  AVR-X3300 power the rest of surround speakers.  Any ideas for an amplifier for a small budget?  Thanks again for all your advice.

I found a pair of Meitner MTR 101 amplifiers at an estate sale for $20.  They work!  Im using them to power the woofers.  The Snell's sound better.  Thank yall for your advice.
