@mofimadness , they are indeed not Snells. Someone switched out the badge, whether it was the guy who sold them to me or someone who duped him, I will never know. I opened it up and the back of the woofer is stamped with KLH Audio Systems, and that is indeed what they are. Take a look: http://www.hifi-review.com/153471-klh-premier-81.html
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/

@mofimadness , Thanks for your help. Yeah, these aren't the greatest but a pretty good bang for the buck at least when that review came out and gauging by what the review says. It's ok, because I just upgraded to these bad boys, anyhow: https://tmraudio.com/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/vienna-acoustics-beethoven-baby-grand-se-speake... And that site is legit, more legit that a coworker. |
@mofimadness , I just hope my Marantz PM7000 will drive them with not too much trouble. I might have to upgrade the amp as well. It's nominal impedance rating is 8ohms and the Vienna's are 4ohms. I've read of others driving 4ohm speakers with the PM7000. The PM7000 has protection circuitry, so I will soon know with not too much risk. If it's a fail, I'm thinking of getting the latest Peachtree Nova 300. |
