While the legacy of Snell won't change by the silencing of this manufacturing company, it is still another unfortunate closure of a small company where engineering, design, handcrafting and customer care were important to it's employees, customers and local community.
I am the proud owner of nine Snell speakers. Decades of owner and audio magazine reviews support the company's philosophy of fine sounding and crafted products at each price level.
Perhaps D&M will sell the Snell company rights to another entrepreneur.
Despite their demise, I'm strongly tempted to get a pair of Snell B's to replace my thiel 2.3's. Do any of you Snell guys have any experience with the B's? I need a strong corner speaker, and those things are huge..any thoughts would be appreciated..
I had a set for a long time and they worked great- the setup was easy and I found that tubes drove them quite well.
I know of a set for sale that is part of an estate. Seems to me they only want about $1200 for the pair. Contact me if interested and I can hook you up with the sellers of the estate.
What do you folks think about the Type C/i from Snell? I have a pair that I was using as my mains while I rebuilt my big Infinity speakers and I found the Snells to be quite nice sounding, with very good bass and smooth mids/highs.
I was planning to sell them now that I'm done with the Infinitys, but I have become a bit attached to them.
