The Snell Killers
« on: July 12, 2015, 09:35:37 PM »
I am an asshole since I have owned these speakers for so long and never gave them a fair trial in my main system. After a two day audition, I am sold, and having them re-foamed and veneered.  All drivers are Dynaudio and I included a picture of one of the four 12" woofers that need surrounds.  These speakers are incredible, I was planning on dampening the cabinets, no need since there is 3" foam on all sides (pic) and if I have a crossover problem or so inclined to upgrade, John Dunlavy designed these speakers with a removable panel for easy access (pic).  These speakers are so good, I sold a pair of the Snell type b's!!!  Better pictures are coming along with a proper list of gear used to power them.  enjoy

Apologies for my ignorance..They are intriguing. I googled Snell killers and didn't come up with anything readily. What exactly am I looking at here?

I wanted to hear those at the swap meet.   Perhaps you'll host a listening party?

Carl, I got about a day and a half to listen to them before I blew out all the surrounds and big speakers are the tits! They are about 72" X 15" X 22" and weigh in around 180 lbs each!!!!

Hey n-p,

Glad to see you got those into action.   They looked a little forgotten, sitting in the garage at the last couple swap meets!   I am sure they would have quickly cleared the room pretty if you had fired them up.

No pressure, just something to look forward to.
