I owned the 2CE signature for years ( their first sig) and loved them, but when I moved on to other speakers, I realized there was much better out there.  I will be in the minority but I would keep the Snell.  
Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?
I use the SVS Soundpsth Feet under my SVS sub and the sub being on the second floor of my house vibrated the floor.  I put the SVS feet under the sub and no more noise downstairs and the bass tightened up tremendously.

My son goes to 3 or 4 Savers when he comes up on the weekend.  He sometimes comes home with dusty crap I do not want in my home. I won’t shop at goodwill stores. If I want used equipment, AC is my choice.
