Snell Type A
I found a pair of Meitner MTR 101 amplifiers at an estate sale for $20.  They work!  Im using them to power the woofers.  The Snell's sound better.  Thank yall for your advice. 
Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps???
Well, both amps work and they make a good difference in how the Snell's sound.  On a side note the heat sink rods do get a bit warm.

I found a pair of Meitner MTR-101's at a yard sale for $20.00  Dont know if they work yet but one has a tear in the film covering the power button.  I wonder if this is repairable...For that matter are there shops that can repair these amps if nee...

The Snell’s sound good since I had the woofers re-foamed.  Someone recommended that I power them with a separate amplifier and let the Denon  AVR-X3300 power the rest of surround speakers.  Any ideas for an amplifier for a small budget?  Thanks ag... 
Removing grill, accessing xover on Snell Type A?
So, how do you remove the speaker grill?  The guy at the electronics shop in New Orleans told me he could replace the fabric...until he saw my Type A’s. Now he says he don’t know how to remove the grill.

If the speakers need new spiders I will end up purchasing some new woofers from the folks who handle Snell Acoustics parts.  Trying to keep the expense down but keep original parts.   
Snell Type A
Agreed.  I plan on having the woofers re foamed at an electronics shop in New Orleans.  I’m hoping the can also replace the grill cloth on the top part.   
Snell Type A
I found a place that will re-foam the woofers.  Two more questions. 1: How do I know if the spider needs to be replaced. It looks ok.  and 2: what is the soft white gasket material (like plumbers putty) that is between the metal speaker frame and ... 
Which Snell Type A do I have? A-I or A-Original?
What is the white dope that is on the back of the woofer frame where it attaches to the wood? I have my woofers out to get the foam replaced and noticed the white stuff, kinda like plumbers putty.  By the way, how do I know if the spider needs to ... 
Snell Type A
Agreed.  I know Snell recommends against it.   
Snell Type A
I don't think I can remove staples before I get the enclosure off. 
Snell Type A
Well I took the bottom wood off and discovered the woofer foam is broken apart.  
Snell Type A
I wonder if somebody has written directions From Snell for that task? 
Snell Type A
Well, I got them, hooked them up and they sound terrific.  I’m wondering how to take the speaker grill off and see what it’s gonna take to replace the fabric on the top section.  Gonna look around Baton Rouge / New Orleans to see if a shop can tun...

I think mine is the 10 inch woofers.  You have some good ideas, thank you.
