| What now? Snell Type A's were so musically pleasing and the way they radiated sound into a room reminded me of dropping a pebble in the center of a pool of water and watching the ripples move out from center. Do a little reading up on some of the current de... | |
| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 May have been a design change after Peter Snell passed away, i forget his name I want to say Kevin, but he is the gentleman that went to head up Revel was designing the later iterations of the Snell line of speakers.

| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 I believe the original Type A used a Becker 10" bass driver and possibly in the Type A ll as well but the Type A lll used a 12 inch bass driver in a taller cabinet. I know Peter Snell used room boundary principles gaining a 3-db. boost from the re... | |
| Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801 I managed an Audio store in 1980 and we carried the Snell Line. I ordered the Snell crossover designed for the type A and bi-amped them with a Threshold Stasis ll on bass and the Stasis 3 for the upper midrange and high frequencies. Dialing in tha... | |

| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? Acoustat Monitor 3's and believe it or not a pair of Kef 104ab's i had a long time ago that were so pleasing to me back then.

| Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used. I have a good friend who owns a pair of Roger's Studio 1a that are in immaculate condition placed on 14" stands I believe, not positive on that but they sound pretty fantastic in his room. Still impressive after all these years. A larger bookshe... | |

| Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers?? i really did not pay that much attention to the post, I ignored owning 50 pairs of speakers, I was mostly curious to know what speakers Kenjit is using these days for his own personal use? Maybe relevant to the discussion or maybe not. | |
