Spkr ID Help: Snell

[baco99]

Hey AK - Can anyone help me ID these Snell towers? Seller is looking for $175 for the pair and says they work OK. Only has this lowsy picture until next week.

I *think* they are Type E II...

?

E II's is what came to my mind immediately...

Here is a pic of mine for reference...

Are these worth the 175 asking?

I wouldn't pay 175 for those in that condition. I had a pair in excellent condition and were sold needing re foam for 150.
Take a look at the foam as well, they get sticky when they are going and even if they are not disintegrating the damping changes causing the cone to hit the magnet.

Seems a bit high given their apparent "distressed" condition.
Some info here about Snell Type E's.....

Snells are great speakers, but yeah- these need to be inspected and listened to to justify that price...

I think I might go for the Dahlquists and Allisons instead for roughly the same net cost. 2 for 1.
