I have owned and enjoyed many Snell speakers. According to the Snell website and Stereophile, the Snell V was also a Kevin Voecks design.
Thiel CS 2 2 vs Snell C IV
I have the great opportunity to buy just one pair at about the same price for my 2nd listening room. Which one would be more recommended?
The parameters:
1. room size: 24' x 18' listening room with vaulted ceiling
2. music genres: orchestral classic, jazz and some soft rock
3. gear: Conrad Johnson tube amps (PV12 + MV50), alternatively PV10 + Adcom GFA-555
The option of auditioning both in that room is not possible since one pair is not listed locally.
Thanks for your comments/suggestions.
P.S. As an owner of both the Snell A and Model B Minor (main listening room) I like their neutral sound and precision. Having had the Thiel CS3.5, I like the more modern combination of sound + looks.
