Re: Snell K's for sale at AoS
I've never heard of them...can't find much online either..I'm always interested in standmounts so be good to know more as £300 for used is a lot so either they are something special or over priced?!?
My Kit – I moved to home theatre setup sorry...Denon SR7011, Anthony Gallo A'Diva SE Fronts, SpeakerCraft Profile AIM LCR3 One Rears, BK Electronics XLS200-DF MK2 Sub, Epson Projection.
But I would love a cheeky little AP10, AP20 sort of amp for a bedroom setup...

Re: Snell K's for sale at AoS
Offer him £250, you always negotiate on private sales. Snell is a US company, Peter Snell the designer died of a heart attack on the job, his successors cocked it up and ruined the speakers. Audionote UK were UK importers and after the changes they bought the rights to make these speakers, so the modern version is the Audionote K.
Original price in the US when built
Model: Type K
Years in Production: 1982-1989
Original Price per Pair: $380.00
Power Rating in Watts: 15-100
Frequency Response: 70Hz-20kHz
Impedance: 8 ohm
Sensitivity: 90 dB
Dimensions: 18x11x9
Woofer: 8"
Mid: -
Tweeter: 1"
Rear Tweeter: -
Current price of the AN K is over £2000 I think depending on config.

Re: Snell K's for sale at AoS
i had a pair of these up to about 7 years ago with the stands (which i stlii have). the foams were split and i ended up part swapping them along with my audio note amp for a ksa100 because i fancied a change. big mistake. nowadays i would have refoamed.
Re: Snell K's for sale at AoS
I had a set of these for a short while. Mine were Snells built by Audinote in UK who I believe bought all the US stocks/parts and initially sold them with Snell badges. Nice easy going speaker but I eventually hankered after my sharper Royds !
Re: Snell K's for sale at AoS
So how would the modern equivalent i.e Audio Note K's fair against these.We have been led to believe the AN k's are a superior speaker
