Snell Type A

I found a pair of Snell type A speakers at an estate sale the owners agreed to $250 for the pair.  They say the speakers  work.  They look in decent shape.  Is that a good price assuming they are working and a follow up question.  I see they show a 4 Ohm input; will my mid-level Denon AVR-X3300W power them?

Some of the later versions of the Type A's used 12" woofers. You will have to check. I haven't examined my pair yet (not in use at present). But I do have a pair of KLH Six's with 12" woofers that might fit! I recommend you get replacement woofers with rubber surrounds or have the originals repaired with rubber - NOT foam!

I think mine is the 10 inch woofers.  You have some good ideas, thank you.

Well, I got them, hooked them up and they sound terrific.  I’m wondering how to take the speaker grill off and see what it’s gonna take to replace the fabric on the top section.  Gonna look around Baton Rouge / New Orleans to see if a shop can tune them up as needed.  I will remove the bottom piece of wood to look at the woofers.

I believe you have to remove a bunch of staples to remove the grill.

I wonder if somebody has written directions From Snell for that task?
