    Default Sansui SP-1200a

    Some 1976 Sansui’s that I just picked up locally, the guy bought them new in Dubai in 1976, he clearly took care them.
    I haven’t listened to them yet and I’m not expecting anything more than average.

    You might be surprised by those.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    92db sensitivity, won't need much power to get high levels from them. Designed back when watts were expensive. Quite like Kabuki speakers myself, they have their foibles but what design of speaker doesn't?

    Need to be close to a wall to get some bass response out of them although that's a plus for many rooms where sticking the speaker out in the open is just not possible.

    These are definitely not to be laughed at guys , I’ve hooked them up to my Quad vena and they are bloody good speakers, they went a bit fuzzy for a minute so I’m guessing the caps needed charging or something but they’re singing away now

    If they had a "fuzzy" moment, it could well be dirty pots on the level controls. Work them back and forth a bit, that may clean them up enough for now. You can use contact cleaner too, just be careful with it as it can dissolve some plastics.
