1: Re: Any Snell AIII owners on board? (24.45)
Posted by JJ Mo on 2004-03-26, 23:20:22 (66.53.60.229)
Thanks for the impressions, Frank. My interest in it is that I have a pair of Snell Type JIIs, which I have wired with silver (under Peter Q.'s advice), and I've always fancied the Snell AIII but the .......

dady24, Some useful info on the Snell type A's in the archives. What is significant is what 'series' they are; original AI, II or III? I understand that series AIII was the last Type A to be worked on .......

Peter, Many thanks for providing a little more background to the late Peter Snell's type AIII design. I guess, these days there can not be too many AIII owners out there with original speakers, and no .......
4: Snell Type A. Opinions please. (19.00)

One of my all time favorite speakers is the Snell Type Aiii. How does the original, ca 1978, Type A compare. Opinions please. Thanks in advance. .......

Hi Frank, I have apair of the Type AIII. I felt in Love with them from the day i've heard it at my friends house. I had it to post an wanted ad on audiogon the next few days, waited about 2weeks, very .......

Nino, Congrats on your Snell A's - I run (amongst others) AIII's. I drive them with ARC SP-11 mkII/Krell KSA80B - I have a fondness for the early Krell sound, but I feel that the Snell's need somethin .......

RGA, I've yet to hear the Snell Type B's - here in the UK, I would be lucky indeed, never seen any up for sale yet. I last heard the original Snell K set up in A/B comparison with Quad 57's - both spe .......
8: Snell Type A III restoration advise please (15.49)
Posted by frogman on 2018-11-01, 12:19:45 (96.246.22.172)
Guys, Still one of the most memorable systems that I ever heard years ago at the old Sound by Singer salon (Snell, VTL, AR, Xerxes/Koetsu), I have always lusted after a pair of the Snell Type AIII. I .......

Nino, Your ARC SP10/D115 must sound superb - I'm surprised it's not quite doing it for you on rock. Possibly may be worth moving up to a D125mkII, or even a D250... The 12inch bass unit in the AIII's .......

Neil, I use an ARC SP11mkII preamp + Krell KSA80B power. To my ears the KSA80B has a sweeter, warmer, richer, but, less detailed and more vintage presentation than the KSA250B - which just cries out f .......

Dear Frank, Peter Snell never really got the best sound from the A/III at shows in my view, we should be reminded here that Peter died in September 1984, and really only had a couple of shows availabl .......
