Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801
I miss Snell so much, especially the A/III. Amazing imaging on and off axis and bass that made you think they could pop your room apart like a balloon.
Along this time the original B&W 801s also were making the rounds, and ... I'd still take Snell every time.
One of the weird combos that was popular was Audio Research + B&W and man, I hated that combination. It was so gutless and lean.
