Whatever Happened to Snell?

I had a number of Snell speakers, Type E, Type K come to mind. I really loved the old Snell sound in the '80s. They played with great impact and the mids and highs were awesome as I recall. I used to blow speakers all the time in my youth but could never hurt a Snell. I know Snell is still around, what do people think of the "new" Snell? I looked at the website and it looks like HT is the emphasis now? I guess I just want to see what everyone thinks, have they sold out or is their stuff still good.... I'd check myself except I can't find a dealer anywhere who carries the stuff.

I bought a pair of Snell e-5's in march 2000. I have
owned JBL 150's in 1980's and Bose 901 series 5. Also
own Paradigm Monitor 9's. My buddy has Klipsch C30?

In my opinion the Snell's are the best. They must have
time to be broken in and run by powerful high quality amp that will push low impedence to sound the best.

I hope they stay around for a while. I did hear they
were taken over by Boston and drivers are the same as
in REVELs. Don't know if that is true.
