End of Snell Acoustics?

While I have since moved on, owned and enjoyed Snell speakers over the years, including the type Qs, type Ds, and 500THX series speakers.

I've been running the smaller brother of the type B, the Snell CV for the past 5 yrs. Bypassed that awful fuse and tweeter attenuator. IMO, the CV which you can buy for under 1k used holds its own against anything that sells for 5-7K made today.

Michael, the Snell Type Bs are a much warmer, ballsier choice than the Thiels, which to my ears are more clinical (a bit tipped up) in character

Thanks Triode, I have a good shot at some Type B's, and am selling the 2.3's. I noticed the B's go down to 20HZ? So I can dispense with my thiel ss1 sub?
