Sansui 9090db, best match vintage speakers

I spent a fair amount of time in 1980 listening to a Sansui 9090db driving Snell Type A. Amazing! Search for Snell and you'll find plenty of info.

I just pulled my EPI 100s out of the bedroom system and hooked them up to the Sansui AU D11 in my main analog system. I had Kirkseater 220s before. The EPIs sound great. I should have done it long before.

Thanks, I have reviewed your suggestions, and of course listening to them is the true test, however thats not always an option. I have mu eye on a set of Norman Lab 9's, i wounder if anyone has heard these, and if so do you think they will compliment my new (vintage) Sansui

I have a very modest system that my DQ-10s are the star of... Sansui 9090 receiver and a modified (Parts Connexion) Onix XCD-88 CD player. What strikes me the most about the DQ-10 is how "right" they are. I have them in my studio and listen to them for hours each day with no ear fatigue whatsoever. I have the later mirror imaged large yellow capped version DQ-10s. I haven't modified them except to decouple the piezzo tweeter. I've owned quite a few quality speakers (and still do), but these are my favorites. I also second the stellar opinions on using them as fronts in an HT system... AWESOME! I just wish they were smaller and less awkwardly shaped. lol

I used my 9090db with JBL studio monitor L166 speakers, exclusively.
Wonderful, clear and compact, with full, rich and real bass.
