Snell Type A- any info??????

I was at a flea market and this guy was selling a pair of Snell Type As. I looked in the Oron Blue Book and found there were several versions of this speaker, the last being a 14K one released in 1997. These looked more like late 70s to early 80s. They came in 4 pieces...rather large pieces...2 square subwoofers and 2 square mains....anyone ever own these and how was the sound???? Worth $100????

Worth $100? Jeez, oh yes, if they are in good shape, even if they are the originals, butthey are later than that and should state so on the back, or if that is gone you can usuually pull one of the drivers and date them from a stamp on the magnet. You don't want them , please send me a e.

I think they are the early early ones...the rear SN is actually typewritten on a sticker...the flea market is open on Weekends and I will give them a 2nd look and pick em up just to see what they are about....

thanks for the info

I had a pair Snell A3i from 1991 until I sold them in 1999 (I got married and the WAF is very low). They are great speakers.
