I am extremely happy with these AS-100's best $40.00 I have spent anywhere anytime. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Beautiful Walnut cabs I love the sound of these.
AS-100s are mighty fine sounding speakers. They are just mighty fine speakers period, and very heavy. :thmbsp:
And like you say cfowler..."the best $40 I have spent anywhere anytime". No truer words spoken.
Want to rebuild your crossovers? One small cap for the tweeter. That's it.
But my 40 year old cap(s) work just fine. Wouldn't even consider changing it out. Great woofers and the tweeter's sound is outstanding and super sensitive. These tweets are simply outrageous. You can dial them in regular, or dial them up to the way beyond normal. The tweeters are a superior tweet design...period. If they could make them sound like that in 1970...why can't 'they' make them like that now? They just sound...right. A wonderful listening experience and totally enjoyable speaker system. Very natural sounding. Lifelike. Very real.
'Total sleepers', way off the radar. If people only knew.
I'd recommend: if you ever get a chance to get a pair get em...why not? At the least you may say they sound really good. At thier best you will be very suprised. And when found...the price is so inexpensive for the 100s and 200s (200s are more laid back than the 100s and 300s - so owners say). I do believe the 200s have a different tweeter design, I'm almost sure of that. The 300s are 'mission impossible' to find, nobodys sellin those. ...I wonder why...
I really don't need, or want, 'another pair of speakers' in the house but when I find the 300s in mint untouched shape...I'm buying them, regardless of price. I know those are the 'ones' for me, soundwise, the 'ones' I really wanted in the first place.
And...the grills, special woven cloth in different shades and in 3-D. They look so really fine if you like that look! They look very nice, very 1970's. A special look. If you don't like it...change em out with black cloth grills or something. Seen them in black grill cloth before, after market, a 'very sharp and nice' look, like a professional look now-a-days. They looked sharp. But I like the old orgional grills much better! :>)
I just can't say enough good things about the AS line of Sansui's speakers. Bullet proof. 40 years old and perfect. Go figure.
Good Luck!!
