Snell Type E IV / neue Sicken
Sehr musikalischer, amerikanischer Stand-Lautsprecher von Snell Acoustics. Eine Weiterentwicklung des Vorgängers Type E III, ebenfalls von Kevin Voecks. Gegenüber den vorherigen Modellen etwas schlanker gestaltet, auch benötigt man keine "Füße" mehr. Recht hoher Wirkungsgrad, top Chassis aus Skandinavien. Die Sicken im Bass-/Mittelton werden gerade erneuert. Bi-Wiring Anschluß. Di-Pol Eigenschaften mit nach hinten abstrahlender Kalotte. Hohe Auflösung gepaart mit einer schönen und involvierenden Wiedergabe, sowie Bass-Kompetenz zeichnen diesen ungewöhnlichen Lautsprecher aus:
"""...these listeners may find that the Type E have a richness and soul found in few audio products. No wonder Kevin Voecks describes this two-way system as a Vox Populi; it truly offers the wonder and excitement of recorded music at a modest price...."""
91db/1W/1m, der Front-tweeter ist regelbar, der rückseitige bei Bedarf und je nach Geschmack abschaltbar. Mit Abdeckungen. BxHxT = 26,8x104,5x32cm. (Auch noch ein Paar Snell Type E II da...)

I bought my pair E4 after one and a half years of searching in numerous hifi shops around norway. . In the final round, i had to choose between SNELL E4 and KLIPSCH KG 4.5. Different speakers who cost (then) about 8000 NOK (about $1500). But i liked them both. In the end i bought E4 - which i've faithfull to ever since. They have a sound whitch i love very much. Neutral deep bass, neutral/a bit warm midrange and detailed/seet tweeter sound... doesent matter what i play. Judas Priest, ultravox, slayer, pink Floyd, Neil Young, classical Music, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, accoustic. - everthing goes Down very vell. Never ever have i experienced listening fatigue. Two years ago, i had to re-foam the woofers, so i'll guess they will last another 15-20 years. I have a Rega Planar 3 With grado prestige black pick up, yaquin mm phono pre amp and /from july 2013)Music angel kt 88 tube amp (the last 17 years i,ve used a Electrocompaniet ec1, but that amp i now use With PSB Image T6 -in my living room - but thats a different story ;-) ) - a sweet hifi set up!

Strength:
Clean from top to bottom.
Weakness:
Midrange slightly soft. It can be a challenge to find the right cables and upstream electronics.
I pretty much agree with what others have said here. Overall, this is an excellent product, and on the used market, it's a steal!

After listening to the popular choices from NHT, B&W, Energy,
Paradigm among others these were an easy choice.
Perhaps not as ultimately revealing as some they have an inherent
rightness to them that the others lacked. The only other
speaker I thought was more musical was from Magnepan but wasn't practical.
Aside from the sound their cabinetry is first rate. These models however have been discontinued although some dealers still might have some. The new models are post Kevin Voecks and have a totally different sound. Five stars
