Very different...

...if you liked the old models you probably wouldn't like the new ones. And vice-versa.

The newer Snells fall into the "slim-line" crowd (at least the ones I have heard) - possibly for HT or decor reasons. Then again, my "experience" with them is confined to one store.

You're right... I lusted after the older Snells at the exact time period you mention. They were a bit outta my price range, settled on a pair of Boston A70s.

Problem is I recently had a pair of J IIs that were very poor... "muddy" and closed-in would be the adjectives that come to mind. Rose-tinted memories? Not sure. I now have a pair of Boston A100s, and they're not as good as I remember either. Don't get me wrong, they're nice (especially for the price) but not what I expected.

I would like to give the original Type A another listen...
