SANSUI SP 2500A Speakers. Classic Vintage. Fully revitalized.
Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. was established in 1947 as a transformer manufacturer, but in the 1960s it gained a reputation as a major producer of audio components. Despite its huge popularity (especially in the United States) in the 60s and 70s, after 1985 the company started to bring much lower profits than its rivals (Sony, Pioneer or Technics). It was the end of the era of hi-end equipment development, which was associated with the increase in sales of personal computers. The company Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. then focused on the production of high-end components in Japan, and also began to produce high-end TV sets and other video equipment while stopping exports. At the end of the 1990s, the brand name was used on video devices manufactured by other companies.
Finally, Sansui Electric Co., Ltd. as a part of Grande Holdings went bankrupt in 2014. It is worth noting that Sansui was the first company that used transformers in audio equipment, and introduced a high-voltage tube-transistor (hybrid) and QS / RM (Quadrasonic System / Regular Matrix) to the market, which allowed to get the four-channel sound from the two-channel sound.
The SP-2500A speakers are stage monitors manufactured in 1974-76, which, like most four-digit series, are considered one of the best in Sansui history. Five loudspeakers and perfectly tuned crossovers give the manufacturer a sound with a wide range and impressive dynamics. A great music scene that accurately reflects the original, multidimensional layout of the recording with all the details and nuances. The listener can feel like in a studio or at a concert. The energy is added by a powerful, realistic and warm bass, which is supported by a powerful 30-centimeter speaker, which is the heart of the loudspeaker. It is supported by two horn tweeters, which are high quality and two midrange membrane speakers.
The cases have been completely revitalized. The warm shades of exotic doussie wood contrasts with high quality fabric on covers. Finishing screws are high quality. The covers are painted with high quality car paint and are made of high quality upholstery fabric. The wood finish Chinese oil made of natural oils. The wood feels nice to touch. New Philips logo is laser cut in exotic Jatobe wood.
All the loudspeakers are in great condition, completely revitalized. There are new diaphragms and the dome in the low and midrange speakers. The metal cover with midrange loudspeakers and tweeters in, has been cleaned, sandblasted and painted with powder paint fired in the oven at high temperature.
New Sansui logo is laser cut in beech wood. Practical handles attached to the cover makes the cover easily to put out and in.
