+1 for Christina Amphlette of Divinyls! I was thinking of her a few days ago! 
Snell Type A
The Snell Type A is a superior speaker than any of those ones made in Utah! Sorry, fanboys! 
Snell Type A
If your Denon receiver can handle 4 ohms, then yes! Though the A's do benefit from more power. The sole dealer in CT, Audiocom, used a GAS Ampzilla to demo them. But they will sound fine with just 50 watts! 
Snell Type A
For $250 grab them! And repair/replace the woofers. The Snell Type A is a true classic design and one of the best sounding speakers ever! 
Snell Type A
I thought I had the lowest price paid for the Snell A's. Paid $400 + shipping $400 (four boxes from CT to FL) USPS. From the original owner (deceased) - who bought them from Audiocom (Old Greenwich, CT), where I used to work back in the late Seven...

Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
NO! Buy four JL Fathom subs and place them asymmetrically around the room. Problem solved - and money saved! 
The $20K Soulution Audio 330 Integrated Amp is a Bargain ?
A bargain compared to an $80K AN Ongaku! 
Cartridge recommendations for Mac
Shure V15 MkV mr! Probably the best MM ever! Good luck in finding one!  
Refurb GAS Grandson amp or put money towards another amp?
Contact Audio Classics in Vestal, NY and discuss having them do the repair work! A few years back I bought a nicely restored SAE Mark XXX amp from them! That was from the time James Bongiorno was at SAE in California!

Along with the Bedini 25/25 I bought from Innovative Audio in Brooklyn Heights, NYC in 1981 ($800). Plus a 150/150 that was a recent eBay purchase.

I have the very first production BEL 1001.  Serial no. 0001. Bought from the original owner, who got it directly from Richard Brown. And it does sound fabulous!
