    Is REL being more 'musical' than SVS a myth, or is there some real science behind this?

    Time passes slowly in the world of "high end audio." My understanding is that REL established its reputation when subwoofers were difficult to integrate into two-channel systems. Their continued success has been to maintain this reputation long after the technological situation that produced it...

    Backwards directed , rear-firing tweeter, Snell Type E / III?

    Peter Snell designed the original line of Snell speakers from the Type A to the K (including the E, E/II, J, and J/II). He died in 1984, and Kevin Voecks became the head designer for Snell. Voecks's first speaker for Snell was the redesigned K/II. There's lots of info on this site...
