End of Snell Acoustics?

While I have since moved on, owned and enjoyed Snell speakers over the years, including the type Qs, type Ds, and 500THX series speakers.

Michaeljbrown, I had Type Bs back in the day, after earlier having had Type EIIIs. The Bs have unrestrained macrodynamic ease and go deeeeeep in the bass, but I found them to be difficult to set up in such a manner that they did not overload the room in the bottom octaves (and I had them in two distinctly different rooms). If Atmasphere has a line on a pair for $1,200 it's a no-brainer, though, you should definitely try them! A great rock 'n roll speaker.
Michael, the Snell Type Bs are a much warmer, ballsier choice than the Thiels, which to my ears are more clinical (a bit tipped up) in character
