Are You a Sansui Lover?


I can say yes, I am a sansui Lover. If it were not for my sansui AU-717 and Tu-717 bought in a tag sale for $200 some 10 years ago, I would not be an audiophile today. Ever since then, I have collected many of the sansui pieces except for the C2302 preamp and B2302 power amp which are rare to find.
To all other sansui Lovers out there, Tell us about your sansui systems, present and past.
Thank you.

Absolutely, cool looking & well built with surprisingly good sonics for its age. Sansui gear had substance back in the 70s and you felt like you really had something special. Even when compared to modern gear it holds its own. But on the other hand I'm sure that Sansui had conceived a few pieces that were not up to par.

In case you werent aware of it, my friend hosts the site www.sansui.us and we have a message board there as well. Some of you may already know me as a Sansui enthusiast. I used to moderate the 'Exclusively Sansui' forum at Audio Karma. I have many Sansui amps in my collection, my favorites being the BA-5000, BA-F1, AU-919, 717, AU-D11, G series receivers: G-9000, G-7500, and 9090DB. I also have a B-2301 and matching C-2301 preamp. Speakers are Infinity Renaissance 90 which are truly awesome.
Interesting thread. Someone is selling a pair of Sansui SP-200 speakers on my local craigslist. I am thinking of buying them to use in my basement as "B" speakers.

Any opinions?

are we all not lovers of music first ?Will the sansui rise to the LOVE THEM,KEEP THEM, stage? only your ears will let you know. my kg4s ,$150 C/L. sold all others. that WAS the era of great sound first,before the hype? great music doesnt have to break the bank Good luck
