Snell Type A II Speakers
Not aware of Snells needing an electric crossover. You need to check out the woofers because they go bad in these units if overdriven. There is also a Snell users group on the web. My thought is the speakers should sell for $800 in good condition.

Eric,        I would imagine that there must be some sonic difference between the 4 and 8 ohm version.  There must have been a reason that you brought out the 4 ohm version originally. I want to congratulate you for turning the high end of audio u...

Charles1dad, I call hyper detail  HIFI vs. listening to music. When I go to most shows there is a lot of HIFI and very little music. I guess HIFI sells Better than music. By the way, my new MicroZOTL2 (actually MZ2-S) just seems to have broken in ... 
It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp.
Just received my Linear Tube MicroZOTL2 and it is stunner as a preamp right out of the box! Anyone looking for a preamp under $2,000 should give this a listen because it is amazing. It also responds to Tube rolling. I immediately put Tungsol Round...

 Corelli,             When I finally heard these speakers my thought was "how could these speakers be $3,000? If they had a big audio name on them they would be at a minimum $30,000. I know we don't buy speakers by the pound but these are large sp...

Another good bargain is the Doge 8. Which is about $1500 new. As I said earlier the Linear Tube MicroZotl2 is ridiculously good for the price. Terry London thinks it is outrageously good also and uses it in his reference system. I too had a bias t...

Mike,           That will be a fun listen! Get Teajay and we might even have to crack a beverage or two!

Charles I completely agree with you. It is amazing how much an audiophile can do with such little money (compared to more established brands.) I have heard Teajay's set up and it is excellent. With the DI being so efficient, I want to hear them wi...

That was supposed to be" put in NOS tubes and it sounds sublime"

+1 on the Linear Tube MicroZotl2. It is amazing sounding piece that sells for less than 2K!!  My wife who is a professional musician actually noticed when it was in my system (on demo) About to pick up mine!I  Put NOS. tunes in it and it is sublim...

Terry definitely is crazy about the speakers! I have heard them at his house and they are a ridiculous bargain! They are huge and good and only 3k! Great deal for the audio community.

Melbguy,                 They are both great pieces! I conflated a couple of preamps in my last post. It is the Linear Tube MicroZOTL2 ( which I have on order and obviously thought was sensational) and I'm sure Line Magnetics must have some tasty ...
