snell fans

I have owned Type Es and 3 pairs of type As, I think the type A is one of the all time great speakers of all time, when space and money permit, would love to get another pair.

Hey Triode
I use it with Pass 250,5 and CJ Premier 18.I upgraded for WBT binding posts,insulated and reglued crossovers,installed custom made german threaded cones with coupling discs and resealed/repainted them by professional furniture maker.They definetly blow away B&W Matrix series and Aerial 10ts which i tried back to back in my quest to upgrade.I think you need to spend now 20k+ to surpass them.Bi-wiring is via Kimber Bifocal XL and SW Crescendo.

Overhang - sounds like you've really done your homework and gotten the best out of the B. It's one of the few speakers I used to own that I still miss from time to time. When they first came out, I was working for a Snell dealer which sold a ton of Wilson...the owner of the store, a very well-respected recording engineer, said upon hearing the B for the first time, "if I was Wilson, I'd be worried". Of course, history did not play out that way, but to my ears as well, the Snells slaughtered many much higher-priced fare of that time. Enjoy!
