Snell's heyday was in the 80s...when their C series was a Stereophile fave...at a cost of 2k roughly 30 years ago...a fair sum back then...we had a pair in our house when I was growing up...and stayed in our family for 20 years...however, even with Belles amplification...I was never overly impressed with their performance...a good product for sure...just not a truly great one IMHO...solid company with a rich history...
Why so little discussion about Snell ?
I just picked up some Snell K.5mkII for my HT setup. I made the decision based on it's ability to do music. In short I really like them and find them simular to my ProAcs in many respects. They should work great for HT (room still under construction). The magazines give them high marks but few dealers seem to do well with them and they are rarely discussed in the forums. Do they just have bad marketing?
