Whatever Happened to Snell?


I had a number of Snell speakers, Type E, Type K come to mind. I really loved the old Snell sound in the '80s. They played with great impact and the mids and highs were awesome as I recall. I used to blow speakers all the time in my youth but could never hurt a Snell. I know Snell is still around, what do people think of the "new" Snell? I looked at the website and it looks like HT is the emphasis now? I guess I just want to see what everyone thinks, have they sold out or is their stuff still good.... I'd check myself except I can't find a dealer anywhere who carries the stuff.

I have two pair of older Snell monitors that I use in office systems, and am very pleased with them. Speakers are still being produced using the Snell name, although the models that Snell was best known for are no longer made. I recently listened to their large powered floor speaker MSRP around $8000) and the tri-pole surround speaker (MSRP about $1500), and was quite impressed by both.
