The Snell series, made in Massachusetts, was known for both its fine sound and the workmanship of its cabinetry. This one is in the very desirable cherry finish, with black aluminum top* and bottom caps and protective grills. In overall fine shape. They came to me with scratches on one bottom, but I refinished it, and I've kept them on rubber bumpers to keep from adding more. (Bumpers can be had from HomeDepot or Amazon for a few bucks.) Drivers appear flawless, and this design includes two sets of taps to support biwiring or biamping, and includes a Boundary switch to reduce the bass if placing close to a wall. These speakers originally retailed for $1,250 a pair, so I think my asking price is reasonable. Copy of user guide included.
Easy pickup from Washington, DC. Cash transaction.
* Discoloration of top cap is from the Fado lamps, shown in last photos.
