End of Snell Acoustics?

I should have completed my thoughts a Mac dealer shared; that Mac will use some of the Snell design team to design some of the lower priced Mac speakers. So while the Snell name will cease, some of the designs will be further refined and developed at McIntosh, not MacIntosh as I spelled it; the latter makes an i phone or something I've been told.

Snell E III RIP

IMO The type A was OK but they peaked at the Snell B. None of their speakers after that ever reached the same heights (no pun intended, it was their tallest speaker too).

Atmasphere, Not True. XA Reference Towers was the tallest at 72". I have a pair, and they are magnificent!

I had the Type A IIIi for 18 years - one of the best speakers EVER produced. I replaced them with the XA Reference Towers, and I am very happy. These will last me till the end of my days. I think the XA series was the last best series in the Peter Snell legacy. The recent Snells are Joe D'Appolito designs, and now may get merged within the McIntosh speaker family, which also uses the D'Appolito arrays. D&M Holdings couldn't justify two premier brands overlapping and competing with each other.

I will miss Snell Acoustics, but I hope they continue their 36 year tradition of supporting every speaker they ever made.
