I now have a pair of HB1s.
Wish i'd bought a pair ages ago.
Supposedly, they are quite a bit better with new drivers, so will look out for some.
Had a pair back in the day along with a Thorens TD 160 and a Creek 4140 amp. Bought them after a HiFi show above Bolton, the housing boom had got into it's swing and as a young self employed joiner I was making silly money
First 'proper' system, I remember they were a huge improvement over what I'd had

I'm matt.
It's also well worth looking out for a pair of JPW AP2 or AP3. They use the same midbass driver, but with the same tweeter as used in the Snell k.
