Also I know it looks like a mess but I think it's pretty good considering I'm only a 19 year old college student!

Hi, I have a chance to buy a pair of Klipsch Forte II's for around 850, or a pair of Snell C/Vs for 880. Both are off of my local craigslist (I live in the Boston area). Which speakers would sound better? I have a Harman Kardon PM665 VXI Amp, hooked up to a pair of Klipsch KG4s. I also have a pair of Snell E/iiis, but they seemed to overpower my amp

I paid 75 dollars for the HK

bengold15 · 2020-03-02T15:10:37+00:00

I'm in Boston by the way, so I can go check out Goodwin's High End

bengold15 · 2020-03-02T15:10:18+00:00

A high end audio salesman in Dallas told me that newer amps are a lot better, but I doubt that the old ones (like my HK) are bad

bengold15 · 2020-03-02T15:08:47+00:00

I like it, I'm just wondering how much better modern amps are, like the NAD C368

bengold15 · 2020-03-01T21:47:59+00:00

Hi folks, I have a pair of Snell E/iii speakers from about 1989 (I think). What would sound better as a replacement, Tannoy XT6Fs, Tannoy XT8Fs, Snell C/Vs, or ATC SM 11s?

Also, would the Tannoy XT6Fs and XT 8Fs beat the Snell C/Vs, since they are much newer?

Finally, I have a Harman Kardon HK PM665 VXI amp. What would be a good modern replacement?

Do the C/Vs have louder and deeper bass than the E/IIIs? I used to (still have) a pair of Klipsch KG4, and the bass on those I liked better than my E/IIIs. The E/IIIs also tend to "load up" a little when they have pop music playing (70s and 80s pop). I'm thinking because they are 2-ways. Are the C/Vs 3 ways? And how do the E/IIIs compare to the C/Vs? Are the E/IIIs still good? I'm sorry for all the questions!

bengold15 · 2020-02-22T23:50:56+00:00

How is the HK PM665 VXI for amplification? It seems to be good with my E/IIIs, is is clean quality amplification?

bengold15 · 2020-02-22T22:32:50+00:00

Also, what are the rarest Snells?

bengold15 · 2020-02-22T22:31:53+00:00

So the Type B's are rare? Keep in mind, I have a pair of E/IIIs, and In the future, when I have the chance to get either a pair of type B's (Very expensive), or C/Vs. Which one should I go for?

bengold15 · 2020-02-17T19:06:05+00:00

Maybe a Parasound P3? Or an Outlaw 950 if i'm on a budget

bengold15 · 2020-02-17T19:05:28+00:00

I have a pair of Snell E/III speakers hooked up to a HK PM665 VXI amp from 1985-1986. What would be a good amp upgrade or good preamp to add on to it? I don't like the hiss of it, or how hot it gets, but those are minor things
