i love sansui. I have a complete ss setup (electrocomaniet and marantz sm17sa + norh Le amp) i heard my friend's old AU 717 sansui....i must say very very dynamic and impressive...and solid build quaility i am going to pick one of these that go on ebay for 50 bucks...would hurt for a garage system
I have a ~mint (really!) AU-717 and TU-717 complete with rack handles. They look awesome, are built like tanks, and still sound as good today as they did when they were new. The amp is rated as 70wpc? I think but sounds more like 100+
I heard some of the new sansui reference amps recently made...they sound nice and sweet..very pleasing to know they're still around..and still look good
NOw you're taking me back to my very first (what I thought was hi end) system consisting of the old Sansui 9090 110watts/channel stereo amp driving my JBL 166 speakers with a front end consisting of a Thorens TD126 and Ortofon cartridge. Wow! I was in heaven until...someone introduced me to separates.
I bought that amp in 1976 and my sister is still using the same amp today with no problems except for one blown channel which was easily fixed. Yes, they did build them like tanks then didn't they?
