Hello!
I want to find a amp for my speaker Yamaha NS-2000. I had seen a Sansui amp AU-X111MOS Vintage. Do you think it is good amp for classical and Jazz? And it is suitable with my speaker?

What do you think about this amp? Do you like it if I compare with other amp like Accuphase E306? What is better?

Sorry if I ask about accuphase


thanks a lot

The AU-X1111 MOS is a superb amp, the question is: do you know of one thats for sale? I ask because its a model thats not often seen for sale (as is the case with my B-2301).

I dont know if you did a Search in the archived messages, but there is an AK member who lives in Belgium, and he recently bought an AU-X1111, so you might want to contact him for his opinion.

Here's one of the threads:

Thanks a lot, I had read it carefully, I know that it is rare to buy. But I don't sure that it is good for my speaker. So you think 500 USD is expensive or cheap?

Thanks a lot

$500 would be very inexpensive for that model (considering its cost when sold new)

Are you sure? because it is only AU-X111MOS not AU-X1111MOS. It is very defference. And it was made at 1984 ( it is the time, Sansui products reduced quanlity.

Hi I'm the guy from Belgium. 1984 was indeed not the best period for Sansui BUT!!!! they DID retain TOP quality for their home market ASWELL as their international UPSCALE models.

Beatlefred has a MosV series power amp made in that period and I'm sure he can testify his unit doesn't suffer from any cost-saving practices whatsoever. In the contrary the used the best of the best parts on these.

I can't comment on your speakers and I'm not familiar with them.
I use my 1111mosV with a pair of Infinity Renaissance 90's which are full range. It drives them easily, giving me live-like sound with non-compromise lows, mids and pristine highs.

If ever you go for the accuphase, I'd be interestd in the Sansui. Would you hook me up?

Whatever you do, enjoy your purchase and please keep us informed!!

Hi Masterlazy,
I live in Quynhon, a small coastal city in the midle part of Vietnam. And where are you? Congratulations on your recent purchase of the decent AU-X111 Mos.

P/S : I have to post this again here because it disappeared in the database thread, and I don't know whether you've read it yet.

Hi Tran Vinh Tho,
I know that Quy Nhon is beatiful city. It have Hanmactu tomp, I hope that I can go to Quy Nhon, and see your collections in future. Congratulation on your amp 907MOS Ltd. I don't belive that, there are a mania man in Vietnam. I know a man had a B-2301L in Hanoi but he don't have C-2301. So If you see this pre, pls tell me. I think that will be a good news with him.

If you go to Hanoi, pls contact with me. I am looking to meet you

bye, and see you in future.

Thanks. You're always welcome to my hometown; but I think I may go to HN before you could come to this town. Probably, I'll go to the North next week
and see you there if possible. Good chance for me to have a look at hi-end market there.

Masterlazy:

I know of someone who has an audio business in California that has a C-2301 for sale. I dont know if he'd ship outside the U.S., or if you could afford to buy the preamp from him + long distance shipping cost, but just thought I'd mention it to you.

To Mr Tho,
Welcome you go to Hanoi, pls call to me. I regret that you not go to Hanoi sooner. We have a off-line meeting in Hai phong on Saturday. In Hanoi, I am afraid that you can see high-end market, it is audio only.


To BeatleFred
Thanks for your kindness, but I am afriad that shipping fee is too expensive. And my country is nearer japan than yours.

Best regard
