Can anyone identify the model of this Snell Acoustics bookshelf speaker?


Any Snell experts out there? For the life of me, I cannot determine the model of this speaker. I’ve looked through almost all possible images of Snells on the interwebs. See photos at the following link:

The speaker looks like it might be in the K series. It looks very similar to those shown at https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649336012-snell-original-type-k-speakers-like-audio-note-ank/images/1464829/

Snell never made a speaker that small either. These look pretty little. Even the J’s & K’s were bigger.

The Snell QBx series were smaller, but they have a completely different front contour to them. They did have a square, non-flush mounted tweeter, but still very different.

If I was a gambling man, (which I’m not), I don’t think these are Snell’s.

Maybe they're White Van Schnell speakers :-)
@mofimadness , It boggles my mind, however, that someone would go to so much trouble to counterfeit a model on Snell’s low end. I bought these circa 2000. Might they be a custom job that Snell built, a one off?
The only reason you think they are Snell's is because of the badge on the grille, correct?  Doesn't take much effort to swap grills from one speaker to another, if they are close to the same size and will work.

If it were me, I'd remove the woofer and see if there are any markings or numbers on it and maybe check the inside walls for any type of manufacturer name or symbols.
@mofimadness , that's my next move, to open them up. It's not only because of the badge that I think they're genuine. I bought these from a coworker. He's actually the one who turned me on to Audiogon. He seemed fairly honest, but so are the best con men.
Who knows where he got them?  He very well might have thought he was buying real Snell speakers and never questioned it?  Please keep us posted. I’m rather intrigued now...
