In Reply to: Are Sansui speakers any good? posted by mjcmt on July 29, 2010 at 05:15:25:

... all generalizations are false, including this one :-)

Most of the ones sold in the US were of the so-called "Kabuki" style - typically lots of drivers/ "ways" with a too-large woofer in a too-small box.

The small, inexpensive SP-30 two-way speakers are surprisingly decent.

Like most large Japanese manufacturers, Sansui made some very interesting speakers for the "home market", but they'd be hard to find in the US.

See link below for an interesting smattering of Sansui speakers :-)

Another good source of Sansui info, as you probably know, is:
