Floor Loudspeaker Reviews

The Snells replaced my longtime reference NHT 3.3s in my He-Man rig, and were driven by an Aragon 4004 Mk.II 200W solid-state power amplifier—another long-term fave I got no plans of retiring any time soon. Preamps used were the Audible Illusions Modulus 3, my own buffered job, and an Exposure XVII. LPs were played on a Well Tempered Table fitted with a Naim ARO arm and Sumiko Transfiguration cartridge; CDs were played on a Theta Data Basic transport Linque'd to Theta's Gen.V processor. Eight-tracks were played on a Wollensak 8050A deck. Interconnects were Kimber's KCAG and PBJ, speaker cables were Kimber's 4AG, and all gear was plugged into Power Wedge AC-line conditioners.—Corey Greenberg
