I have been researching the Sansui product lines for a few months and while there are some great references on the internet, it can be a bit confusing sometimes compared to other brands (Marantz, Pioneer).
I am wondering if anyone knows of a list of the succession of TOTL Sansui receivers during the 60s and 70s?
Seems like it went something like this:
1000 (tube)
1000A (tube)
1000X
2000A
5000
5000A
5000X
Eight
Eight Deluxe
881
9090DB
G9000
G22000
G33000
Where I get confused is during the early to mid 70s. It seems like the higher numbered models weren't necessarily the TOTL at the time. Or perhaps Sansui was raising the bar at such a rapid pace that newer models were fast on the heels of the "current" TOTL model.
How do certain models, such as 5500 and 7000 fit in, and was the 2000 or 2000A considered TOTL for a time?
I'm hoping some of you Sansui experts can point me to a definitive list or help me piece one together, with the years that each one reigned.
Thanks
