Hi, I would like to ask the Sansui experts here how they think that Sansui "sounds" as compared to other well known brands such as Marantz, Pioneer or even Kenwood.
I realize that this is a highly subjective subject, and somewhat hard to pin down, so maybe it would be easier to say what qualities you like about your Sansui receivers or amps. Also, what types of speakers do you use with your Sansui equipment.
Long ago (when I was about 10) my first real Hi fi piece was a Sansui 6060 receiver. I loved it until it broke and I did not have the money or the sense to get it repaired properly... Still kicking myself to this day. Anyway, I am thinking about possibly gettting another Sansui piece of that vintage.
Although I am a diehard Marantz fan (you'd never guess though I'm sure... ) I would like to see if I am missing out on anything here. I've owned some Pioneer and I liked it, but not enough to trade up. Same with Yamaha. Both outstanding brands, just not quite up to the sound that I am used to.
Beatlefred, you are the acknowledged Sansui Guru here... What are some of the things you find Sansui does best? Thanks for your input!
Best regards... Chris.
