Absolutely limitless bass and stereo image. Would I buy one now? No. The woofers were made with extra mass and the mid and tweets are seriously outclassed today by better models... but if a modern remake appeared, especially the curved upper baffle and huge bass cabinet I'd have to give them a listen.

mahgister Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 13,011 posts 03-02-2022 at 08:02pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Sansui Alpha series top model around 1980... Nothing else or the contemporary Berning Zotl technology... Sound quality/price ratio guide my choice nothing else... I dont look for perfection it is a deceptive search, i look for natural relaxed sound....
