Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm
Devilboy, I agree that my subject line is over simplified. A more accurate assessment would be at least 500wpc with ability to deliver more. The 900 watt in 4 ohm Magtech is what set the standard for preferred performance. To Unsound's point, the ...

Devilboy, LOL! The Snells do require a commitment! Size of small refrigerators and 150 lbs a piece! But there's a reason they often make the 10 Best Speakers ever list. Certain cult thing as well. The AIII was headed for production release when Pe...

Gshepard, I definitely want to hear the Snells with a couple of MC 501's or more power. Like to think the 7000 and 452 weren't enough power and 501's would be less "warm". Thanks.

Amps were: B&K AVR707, Mcintosh MC7000, McIntosh 452, Classe 2300, ARC Ref 150, Bryston 4Bsst2 and Sanders Magtech. Thanks

Danielk141 - building system around primo pair of Snell AIII's. After testing six amps on them, they clearly need as much power as you can give them. Issue clearly demonstrated. Not just chasing big numbers....Thanks

Mc maybe too warm.

Snell AIII's 
Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's?
Power, power, power! So, the next destination in this journey of discovering my magic Snell AIII setup was to haul them to Audio Systems here in Austin. They’re an authorized Audio Research dealer as well as Bryston. Very nice shop with smaller ro...

Well, I spent Monday afternoon listening to the Snells with three different systems in three different rooms and I can report – first and foremost – that they’re truly amazing speakers! Their openness, clarity and range was extremely impressive es...

Most of my CDs are in storage but picked up a few used of my fav's last night. Have some apple lossless on my iPhone as well to play through the DAC they have. (sonus?)As I consider the possiblility of tubes in my life, the comfort zone comes up a...

FM, I'm taking the Snells for the MC and Classe reviews tomorrow. I'm fairly certain there's no tubes in the shop but I will definitely check and press to review if there. I've found a ARC dealer in town but he's not open until Tuesday. I pretty s... 
Snell Type A fans... what's your amp of choice?
I'm putting a system together around my AIIIs. Looking and looking for right amp set up? What helped shape your choices? Thanks!

Frogman I stand corrected. The intergrated I listened to was the mc 7000. The other mc was the mc452 with a C48 Pre. You're right, I'm taking the Snells there next week, this was just a run to see the set up and rooms. Wanted to see what I was get... 
Build a new system around pair of Snell Alll's?
Well, I listened today to a mc integrated and the classe ca2300. It's clear to me that I'm a neutral reproduction kinda guy. I listened to two - mc252 and mc452 - and the warmth was distracting for me. Softened edges too much. One room was too dam...

I talked to the San Antonio dealer and will go to hear some stuff he's got next week. For the AIIIs and based on my B&K experience, he's suggesting I consider the ModWrights. Will listen to this Rowland 625 as well....
