The speaker with dual binding posts are J's, I have a pair I bought in 1985. Also port on front. FYI, and the sound incredible. My were refoamed in 2001.
Help with new old Snell Type Js
Hi everybody. I just picked up some Snell Type J speakers, three of them actually. I'm wondering about identifying the version.
The labels say Type J. Two of the speakers have S/N 1739, 1740 and have single binging posts. The other is S/N 3089 and has double binding posts. All three are 23x13x10 inches.
They all need to have new foam surrounds for the woofers. Is there a preferred source for re-foaming kits, or do most people replace the drivers. Are they even still available?
Last question: what stands work well with these speakers?
They sound pretty good as is, I'm looking forward to seeing how good they sound once refurbished and with proper stands.
Thanks!
