Fantastiskt skick på dessa Snell högtalare som även har original emballage kvar samt kvitton och diverse trevlig historia. Det är original diskanter i högtalarna vilket är mycket ovanligt och basar i oklanderligt skick. Ev, har basar omkantats för någon ägare sedan. Svårt att se. Sista modellen som Peter Snell själv utvecklade. Legendariska retrohögtalare! Möjlighet finns att lyssna.
At kr17,000, this is a very ambitious ask versus the local used market: the median comparable is kr3,849 and even the 75th percentile sits at kr7,183, so this lands well above the normal range. Unless the condition, provenance, or included extras are exceptional, it looks expensive rather than merely optimistic.
That said, the Type C is a respected vintage Snell for a reason: big, coherent sound, strong dynamics, and a natural midrange that still appeals to serious listeners. If the pair is clean, original, and fully sorted, the rarity can justify paying a premium—but at this level, buyers should be very sure about driver health, crossover work, and cabinet condition before stepping in.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Snell Acoustics was founded in 1976 in the United States, with the company closely associated with Peter Snell, the designer and original driving force behind the brand. It began in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and later expanded as demand for its speakers grew, eventually passing through ownership changes in the 1990s. Snell is best understood as a classic American hi-fi name with a strong heritage in the era when carefully engineered loudspeakers defined the serious end of home audio.
The brand was primarily known for loudspeakers rather than electronics. Its reputation was built on full-range, high-performance speaker systems, and it is not widely associated with amplifiers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables. For buyers, Snell’s significance lies in its speaker design legacy and the attention its models paid to measured accuracy and system integration.
In the market, Snell sits in the high-end vintage and collector category rather than the mainstream new-audio space. Its classic models are still discussed by enthusiasts and can command strong interest on the used market, especially among listeners who value historically important American speaker design. The brand’s identity is therefore more archival and specialist than broad or current, which is part of its appeal to knowledgeable hi-fi buyers.
