    Default Snell type k

    I know nothing about these, but there are a pair local to me and I’m in need of a spare pair of speakers for my second system.
    Having previously owned Celestion 15 and 44s, might they be of the same ‘ilk’?
    Thanks

    Apologies. When I say I know nothing - i’ve done the usual background searches on line but that’s it.

    I quite like them, I think I'd rather have the Snell than the two Celestions you mention, I did have some 44s at one time.

    Modern Audionote speakers are essentially a bastardisation of them. Not as good though IMO.

    Assuming they are the original 1980’s K’s and not too expensive I would snap them up.

    Thanks for replying, Alex.
    I’m going to have a word and see if they’re still available.
    If they are still for sale and original, then I’m guessing that the crossovers may well need re-capping, etc.
