The original ones were the only ones designed by Peter Snell -- then Voecks took over and made rubbish (The Snell B-minor is a collosal bomb - with the usual good reviews from the good review fairy) and then the company was purchased by Boston Acoustics -- which was then purchased by Denon.The new Snells are called Audio Notes. Since by name the only company that continues Peter Snell's vision of loudspeaker design is what Audio Note is doing. Voecks and followers follow the marketing and acounting and profit margin. WHich is why Snell ent tits up and the name got bought.
