Snell Type K Speakers. Re-foamed and re-capped

Description

Rare speakers in this country, from high end American speaker company Snell Acoustics, refurbished and in full working order.

The Type K was Snell's entry model, a simple 2 way sealed box with high quality Vifa drivers and good quality crossover components (air cored inductors, variable wire wound resistors). The cabinets are very heavy and non-resonant for their size.

The original woofers have been re-foamed with good quality foam surrounds. I have also re-capped them with film capacitors, but have left the original electrolytic capacitors in situ so they can easily be returned to stock. For me the film capacitors make a big improvement in speed, clarity and resolution.

They have an immediate sound with superb presence and timing.

The cabinets have been touched up and they are very good overall.
