From Snellacoustics.com:
"Founded in 1976, Snell Acoustics has been manufacturing world-renowned high-end loudspeakers for nearly 30 years. It all began in 1974 when Peter Snell became determined to build a loudspeaker that achieved lower levels of coloration through careful attention to on and off axis response. Two Snell innovations, a novel low diffraction cabinet and .5dB production crossover tuning were required to satisfy Peter's high standards. In 1976 Peter introduced the highly refined Type A loudspeaker that launched Snell Acoustics.
"The company began in a small space in Newburyport, Ma. By 1982, Snell had grown too large for the Newburyport factory. It was then that Snell moved to Haverhill, Ma.
"In 1983, Peter Snell designed two new models to round out the Snell Line-up, the Type C and the Type K. These would be the last speakers designed by Peter Snell. On September 20, 1984, Peter Snell died in the factory from a heart attack. Shortly after Peter's death, Dr. William Osgood, then a business consultant to Peter, assumed ownership of Snell Acoustics."
