I Wish I had a
minty pair of SP-L700s. Those are my dream speakers, I think, never heard them.
L800s & L900s would be 'a bit to powerfully overwhelming' for my needs.
I only have a home, not an auditorium. lol.
I've heard folks who know (including Stene) say that they are some of Sansui's
very (very)best, comparable to JBLs, but I've never heard any of the 'L' series myself.
They rarely come up for sale. In the last 12 years, in USA and Japan, I've seen 2 pair of L700s and 1 pair of L800s come up for sale. In USA: 1 pair of L700s and 1 pair of L800s were 'Local Pickup' only.
I'd love a pair, but in all seriousness... maybe too rare,
for spare parts, if you know what I mean - if you needed them. Been there, done that, played that game - it's not fun. Rare speakers have rare impossible to find parts... like if you needed a new woofer - forget it. Pretty big cabinets to be sitting in the closet for year
s.
But
super fine Sansui speakers !!!!
Rarest Sansui speakers (seems to me): AS-300, SP-L700, and even more so the SP-L800, and the
even super more so super rarer SP-L900. I've never even heard of anyone who even had a pair of SP-L900s - ever. Never seen a pair for sale, anywhere in the world. Can't even find a
one photo of them on the internet, in any international search engine (image). It's like they don't exist. Maybe they don't. But... there is a Sansui Brochure on them! They must be
monsters.
Hope this helps.
