    Identify these woofers in Snell E

    There is a set of Type E within driving distance. Having previously owned A/iii (for which I no longer have room), I'd like to have a nice set of Snells again. These are clearly not the original woofers. Can anyone identify them. My thought is that they are not appropriate Vifa drivers, nor...

    Upgrading home listening setup

    Hey all, I just purchased a pair of Snell J2 speakers with audio note tweeters that I'm very pleased with. They sound great for vinyl. Right now I am powering them with my dad's Insignia NSR2000 receiver. I'm looking to upgrade my receiver and eyeing a Luxman L-80v or L-85v integrated...

    The Snell Type M loudspeaker

    As I don't see too much mention of this speaker around here, or on the web in general, I thought I'd go ahead and create a post dedicated to the Snell Type M if for no other reason than to help develop awareness of this little speaker. I was inspired to do so when once again I recently found...

    Snell Model A II

    Need another set of speakers like I need a hole in my head - but whatever. If I don't keep, my buddy is ready to take them. Have been setting for awhile - didn't even test the lower bass modules as the seller says they are not right. Maybe a refoam or recone - either way, I will get them...

    Snell Type Ai

    I purchased these Snell Type Ai speakers yesterday for only 225. Has to be one of the better deals I've ever gotten. The surrounds in the woofers are completely gone. I decided to buy new Snell appropriate woofers from Atomic HiFi. Cost a pretty penny but I live locally and can save on shipping...

    Spare drivers for Snell type J/III

    Found these and inspected one of them thinking the other one was good... Much to my dismay when I opened the other the crossover was there but not the drivers. Anyone have some spares or an extra speaker they could spare/trade/sell?

    I've been enjoying my own Snell Type D's for a while now, and just yesterday a good friend was amazed by them and asked for help finding some new gear. On a whim I opened CraigsList and searched "Snell", and I was shocked to see a pair of Type D's for sale 20 minutes away for $500. Long story...

    Limiting peak wattage so subs don't clip?

    Hi all, new to the forum... I recently threw together a new setup, a carver c-4000 into a carver m1.5t (1200w RMS) into some 80's Snell series III type a speakers.

    How to Re-Dope Snell Tonegen/Foster Tweeters (Model E, J, K; gens. I & II)

    In doing this project I couldn't find any real picture guides so I thought I'd make one. My intention is to show how easy this is to do - if you have Snell speakers with cracked tweeter doping, don't worry! It's very easy to fix as I'll explain. Now, I haven't taken measurements and I'm not...
