Sansui AS 300 speakers?? info please

[blurghy]

I recently purchased a pair of AS 3oo Sansui speakers. DOes anyone have any information on them? I can't find anything on the web. They are beautiful wood with white grilles. They appear to be from the 70's before the SP line came out. They look more mainstream.

Sorry I cant find anything in my Blue Book on them. Nuthing even close to that model number. Can ya post a pic ?

I have 2 pair.

The 60 watt input is very very conservative, The $149 1972 list price was a bargain, and this speaker will surprise you with its sonic qualities.

Very, very nice sounding for a so-called "Bookshelf".

I drive mine with a Dual PA-5060 Integrated Amp, Stinger Interconnects, and MonsterCable Speaker Wire.

Good Combo.

I have,nd have had at least 10 pairs of Sansui speakers. In my opinion these sound best. Excellent base response and overall clarrity. I am running them in tandem with a pair of Bose bookshelf speakers off an AU 7500 and the sound is very nice. The best Sansui speakers I have owned was a pair of SP 3000's and I like these better.

These are what I purchaced at goodwill most recently...

in my case though the woofers apparently were shot, some major rubbage on one 12 inch woofer. I was also able to generate with software a 1hz frequency and determine the other one is experencing the same issue to a lesser degree. I'll have to create a test CD in order to actually diagnose such events in the future, assuming such an ultra low frequency can be recorded and played back without it being filtered out.


I still prefer the sp-1500's I have upstairs, but these to me are great.
