Description
SANSUI SP-1200 speakers. Stand included in the price. Fully revitalized. Classic Vintage.
Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. was founded in 1947 as a manufacturer of transformers, but already in the 1960s it gained a reputation as a serious producer of audio components. Despite its huge popularity (especially in the United States) in the 60s and 70s, after 1985 the company began to bring much less profits than its rivals (Sony, Pioneer or Technics). It was the end of the heyday of hi-end equipment, which was related to an increase in sales of personal computers. At that time, Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. focused on the production of high-end components in Japan, and also started to produce high quality TV sets and other video equipment, while stopping exports. At the end of the 90s, the brand name was used on video devices manufactured by other companies.
Eventually, Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. as part of Grande Holdings went bankrupt in 2014. It is worth noting that Sansui was the first company to use transformers in audio equipment, and first to introduce to the market a high-voltage tube-transistor (hybrid) amplifier and a QS / RM system (Quadrasonic System / Regular Matrix), which allowed to obtain four-channel sound from two-channel one.
The SANSUI SP-1200 speakers were produced in 1975, i.e. at the best time for audio equipment. The original loudspeaker was additionally equipped with one subwoofer from the Sansui SP 1200 set, and the small tweeters were replaced with a great quality Horn speaker from the SP X 8000 set.
Such a set of speakers means that the loudspeaker does not “get tired” and works with some “extra space”. Unusually clear sound with a lot of bass, a delicate center and clearly drawn high tones creates a beautifully detailed music scene.
The enclosures have been completely revitalized. Doussie exotic wood makes a beautiful contrast with the high quality fabric of the grills. All speakers in perfect shape, 100% original. New Sansui logo, laser engraved in beech wood. Practical strings attached to the grill allow free removal and placing the grills in place.
The set is 100% functional, the speakers are in perfect condition.
The power of sound!
