Well I just picked up these nice set of speakers, they are the Sansui SP-Z99
They sound excellent and I bought them for my livingroom sound system. The problem is...I cant find out anything about them on the internet, I searched Google and found this site, which is very cool and informative, so I bet somebody out there knows something about this pair of speakers. I am looking for some specs on them and how far up the chain in quality do these rate...I hope they rate as good as they sound. I hope to here from everybody....I live in an apartment and I hope I dont get turned in for having them up to loud...I sure would hate to have to get rid of them....Later

Welcome aboard!!!! far as the speaker goes me thinks they are 280 watts per....never heard Sansui speakers so can't comment on them, if you like them though....Good score!!!!

They are 320 watts @ 8 ohms

here is a picture of the Sansui SP-Z99. Any information on these would be appreciated. I think they look very cool, they remind me of what the 1980 ghetto blasters looked like, They look star wars ish also. :thmbsp:

someone offered me a pair of SP-Z99 a few months ago, and it really looked awesome. unfortunately, the price was a bit high for me and i never had the oportunity to test it. just wondering what the power buttons on front panel are for, considering it's not an active speaker.

The red button is a powered Bass button, they other 3 silver ones are for sound balance...one is normal, one is soft and the last silver button is soft-2......when pushed they change the sound of the speakers....kind of like a built in powered subwoofer and crossover.

In response to the buttons, I forgot to mention that there are LED power indicator lights that light up from 1 watt to 100 watts and then at the end of that range is a power overload LED if you get past 100 watts....these are 320 watt speakers, I live in an apartment and its lound enough for me on low volume here,but I wish I could turn them up higher, because the LED lights are cool when they light up. Very, very nice sound.

thanks sub-sonic, sounds like you've got a good one there. next time i see the guy selling me his SP-Z99, i'll have it tested - his asking price was something like $200.

$200 sounds like a steal for them...I would buy them for that and have surround sound SP-Z99. You dont hear of bargains like that very often. I have found a little information on them so far, I am getting the feeling that they are super rare...I see tons of everything else but the SP-Z99.

Yes , I'm a Sansui fan along time , have been out of the loop for 30 years , so I'm just now learning about the X series , I guess the Z series it the top of the heap.

320 Watts per side is alot in your living room ; even if you have a big living room ; in the country ??!!

If anybody out there has a set to sell, because all his neighbours are , not so inclined , Please let me know !! ???

Thank you,

So someone somewhere also has a set of these huh?I have a set.I consider them Sansui kabuki but I like them.Last time I used them was last summer outdoors for the fourth of July.Paired with a Luxman R-117 it sounded like a concert in the backyard.I'll see if I can post some pics this weekend.
