Dear Lancelot,
The E/III was designed by Kevin Voecks and is therefore not representative of the Peter Snell sound, so it is perhaps not too surprising it has not stood the test of time, anyone who has hard a pair of working or properly reconditioned Snell E/II's should be able to tell you that they do not suffer "sonic aging" the way most speaker designs do.
Kevin V narrowed the cabinet, changed the phase on the tweeter and modified other aspects of the crossover to flatten the response, something that dramatically changed the voice of the Type E.
It was when I first heard the E/III that I decided to work out how to make my own versions of the old Peter Snell models, that was in 1986 I think and it took close to 5 years to complete.
Persistence pays off!
Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
