Sansui SP-1500 Speakers

Does anyone know that watts and db rating on these speakers? Are there any inexpensive mods for them?

But, I picked up a pair of these free some time ago. I like the cabinets (good contruction, that classic 70's look) but they sounded flat. I gutted them, cut a new baffle board and installed an 8" Rega woofer, a planar tweeter, and a DIY 2 way 1st order crossover. They sound fantastic. I think I have all of $150 into them. I still plan to refinish the cabinets - something I'm putting off

I remember being in a small boutique in N California and they had a pair of these that I assume were the SP1600's or 1700's ( a little larger than the 1500's). They really sounded nice - which made it more disappointing when I got home and played mine. That's when I decided to rework them. In my case I already had the parts for a complete replacement so I didn't give it any second thoughts. good luck with your mod's. They're a classic looking speaker and MO worth keeping.
