    Snell E3 speakers

    Hello! New here. Trying to put an old system together. I have a chance to pick up a pair of Snell E3 speakers local for $175. Sounds like a good deal. The thing is, I have a mid-70's Sansui QR4500 receiver. It only puts out rated 27w per channel. Would this be enough to drive these speakers? Is $175 a good price?
    Thxs!

      I've heard some larger Snell speakers and really liked them.

      Here are some positive reviews of Snell C/V and E3 speakers. Sounds like they may be pretty efficient, not sure:

          Snell and Rotel: a good match?
          by Kevin P
          I may have an opportunity to snag a deal on some Snell speakers, and I'm leaning toward Rotel separates when I rebuild my HT. I'm just wondering if anyone has driven Snells with Rotel gear and how it sounds.

          Depending on the prices I can get and how I like the sound I may go with the...

          Paradigm Studio 100v2 vs. Snell CV?
          by whoaru99
          I have the Paradigm Studio 100v2 and have been asked if I'm interested in purchasing the Snell CV. I'm not familiar with the "Snell" sound if there is such a thing.

          Problem is, it's 350 miles to audition so I'd appreciate some opinions (full well knowing the subjective nature)...
