605 lbs. floor standing speakers!
Well i'm in the market right now for a new floorstanding speakers...and i was browsing through ebay when i saw this...
a pair of snell type A speakers!
i was really intrigued by this huge speaker so after digging thru the internet....
i found this article:
Along the way, I reviewed many Type As. First came the Type A/III system (July 1984, Vol.7 No.6), followed in 1989 by Kevin Voecks' Type A/III Improved (March 1990, Vol.13 No.3). Next was the 605-lb, $18,999 Type A Reference, designed by Voecks (March 1996, Vol.19 No.3) and shipped in 12 cartons. Setup involved positioning and connecting four loudspeaker cabinets, two external passive crossovers, one active electronic crossover, two stereo amplifiers, six interconnect cables, and 32 speaker cables. But the Type A Reference rewarded all that setup with a majestic sound, excellent soundstaging, deep and powerful bass extending to well below 20Hz (its subwoofer met early THX deep-bass specifications for a 9000-cubic-foot room), and an ultra-transparent midrange. It served as my reference for a large loudspeaker system for many years.
all i can is WOW!!!
I also bidded for this but lost at $570...
