Snell Type A


I found a pair of Snell type A speakers at an estate sale the owners agreed to $250 for the pair.  They say the speakers  work.  They look in decent shape.  Is that a good price assuming they are working and a follow up question.  I see they show a 4 Ohm input; will my mid-level Denon AVR-X3300W power them?

The Snell Type A can go right against the wall. A good friend of mine still has his originals. He is powering them with an older ARC tube amp and they still sound as good as they did when brand new.  He had his original Type A updated about a year after he bought them.  He and I brought them up to Newburyport, MA in his pickup for the updates and we met Peter Snell.  He gave us a tour of the factory.  On the way back home, we ate at Hilltop Steakhouse.  We had a complete steak dinner with 1 pound  Porterhouse steaks, large salad, baked potatoes, and beer and I believe each meal less the beer was under 9 or 10 dollars.  It was truly a great day
