Recommendations for Speakers that sound like Snell


Hey Gang, I love the Snell sound but my wife is begging me to get rid of my TypeAIII (refridgerators). I have to admit they are beastly to look at but they just sing, so if and only if my fellow Goners can chime in on some replacements that have close to the sound with a better WAF I would consider it. In the past i have heard of Audio Note and Merlin.Thanks in advance.

I second that the A's (esp the A/III) are excellent value for the money (when bought used now) and reluctantly parted with my A/IIs but only did that when I had the B Minors in lieu. Tried the many better looking brands and now am content with the Dunlavy SC-IV; still low on WAF but they sounded way better than the SF Cremonas I had. The Vandersteen 7s would be nice.
Not familiar with any of these, but what it sounds like to me is that you are happy with the way they sound and based on my little experience, when you like the way something sounds, leave it alone. I've spent more money, time and effort only to end up with something that I don't like as much, and that just plain sucks.
that is a tough call as others have noted. Even if you spend a ton of cash, it does not mean you will get the great imaging the Snells have. I used to have 2 pair. finally sold one pair when I moved, so had to go to a pair of monitors for home theater. Some of the Revel speakers may begin to approach the snell sound, but not sure they are quite as seamless top to bottom.
Johnss: can you please elaborate on your findings on the Revel vs Snells you had (which models)?
