If I wanted the Audio Note sound or just a bl@@dy good used Snell speaker for a mid sized room what are the absolute legendary Snell model no.s? Thanks for your time
My friend has the original type A and had Snell upgrade them 3 times before he passed away. I met Peter Snell one of those times at the factory in Newberryport, Mass. What an awesome guy.
Type A III was my favorite. Had a pair once. These are one of my "mistakes" in selling gear. Should have kept them forever. Awesome speakers and yes, Peter was really cool. I was a Snell dealer and knew him well. GREAT guy!!! R.I.P. dude...you were the best!
Snell was my entry into better audio. I started with the Type E. Awesome speakers. Though a basically a floor standing speaker, a short stand helped them even more. I also had the Type B. The Type K were remarkable for the money and the As were wonderful. I moved on to Quad ESL 63s which were a completely different experience, but Snell speakers always are a fond memory.
The Model Q was a 6.5” 2 way stand mount with a rear tweeter…their compact monitor. Driven by a C-J MV55 and used with a Janus Sub, they were one of my favorite systems of that era (mid 80s), perfectly suited to the apartment I was renting.
