Sansui made some quality kit during that era.

Buy em and fun out Marco ;)
As with all things Hi-Fi, you really need to hear them before splashing the cash. Unless they are very cheap.
Over the years I have heard many large and impressive looking Japanese speakers with massive drivers and horn tweeters, ribbon drivers and all manner of goodies, only to be bitterly disappointed by lack lustre sound.
Not always. I have heard a couple of good uns' but the majority have been on the naff side and made me wonder, how could they have got it so wrong with all that wonderful ironmongery bolted on the outside...:scratch:
To me they look like an uninspired box with a load of cheap drive units stuck into it, but each to their own! ;)Quote:

However, I'm not quite sure that what you're implying was where Sansui were 'at' in those days (although I do take Dave's point on board). Had it been 'Matsui', instead, then we'd be in total agreement! ;)
I guess we'll never know if the Sansuis are shite or not, as I suspect no-one here is going to shell out £800 to find out :eek:
Why not put a cheeky offer in and move the decimal point to a more 'realistic' place? :eyebrows:
Marco.
these any good for £20

local to me you see, thought they might be worth a punt?
cant find much on google ... apart from a lot about trans sexuals???
might be up your alley (as it were) marco ;)
The bass units look a bit like old Elac units, but almost certainly, won't be.Quote:
