Re: Sansui Speakers Were Undercover JBLs

Read on another site that Sansui was JBL's far east distributor, 420, so they had access to some toneful drivers. Got a nice pair of SP-1500s last summer, bypassed the stock xover, & wired the mids-n-tweets in parallel to their stock xover caps proper instead. Morphed in kabuki-countenaced JBL monitors! Were it not for those recently-restored Advents, would be rockin' them 1500s! Gave 'em to a bud instead, whose JVC speakers were startin' to look-n-sound ratty! Bein' that he's also a Sopranos fanatic, 'twas fortunate them 1500s sound as good as they look; what with their favourable WAF! As for your 5000A receiver, 420, Allied Ratio Shaq's 1971 wish book called it "Sansui's Finest..230-Watt Stereo FM-AM Receiver"! Retailed for 4 bills! Relish thy Sansui legacy caretakership, 420!!!
