In Reply to: RE: Sansui SP 2000 / ST70 -surprise pairing posted by airtime on February 02, 2016 at 07:14:13
Dingojazz, welcome to the wonderful world of Sansui speakers. Sansui was JBL's Asian distributor, which is what their designers hoped to replicate. Somehow though, 'sui speakers gained a reputation as one-trick-ponies. Sure they got loud-n-proud, but lacked finesse. With a few judicious mods, however, folks discovered 'sui's could also become subtly expressive as well. After all, 'sui's early vintage beauties used now-sought after Corel drivers. Plus, they're great for home-theatre, too, which helps with WAF. Mayhap that's why 'sui speakers seem to have enjoyed a renaissance over the last decade. Kinda like they lost their reputation as beauties without substance. Whilst still being able to rock a par-tay aulk-skool style when need be! ... Have a pair of modded SP-2500s, courtesy Audio Karma's Robisme. Sounding delightful caressed by Pioneer SX-737 amplification. 73s para Sactown
Follow Ups:
Ya, in addition to that rich texture and solid foundation, there's abundant detail in the mids and uppers courtesy of midranges and horn-tweets. All the detail of my more "refined" speakers plus huevos grandes. -Apparently just needed right placement and amplification.
Cheers,
K
I sure did think they looked like Coral drivers. Thanks for confirming. Even stock the SP2000's will blow away Heresy's. I know. I own both.
