Dear Frank,Peter Snell never really got the best sound from the A/III at shows in my view, we should be reminded here that Peter died in September 1984, and really only had a couple of shows available to him to show what they could do.
In the mid to late 1980's we used to demo them in the UK with an Audio Innovations prototype push pull 845 amplifier (it is now a display in the window in my office!) and that really got them going, in my view you do not need high power, but high dynamic capability and in that regard the PP 845 type triode is perfect.
The A/III is still the best 3 way ever designed!
Follow Ups:
Peter,Many thanks for providing a little more background to the late Peter Snell's type AIII design.
I guess, these days there can not be too many AIII owners out there with original speakers, and now two decades on, any further contemporaneous experience is rare and essential for the enthusiast and helps keep the memory alive.
Regards
