No way would I pay these prices.

BA-5000 - sold recently for $5500.

mostly because of rarity, I love sansui stuff, not knocking it. You can get something as good for less, just look for less rare items. With those it's not only the sound they are paying for. I believe these go to collectors.

That is not going to help me afford a 3000 pair...

I saw that a few days ago and was floored by the selling prices.

I was looking at a au-20000 a short while ago. I think essentially a BA and a CA 3000 in one chassis. I thought they ran high figuring another 1000-2000 to put it back in top shape. I agree nice pieces but bang for the buck I don't think so.

They're still out there - I found my BA-5000 for $125 on Craigslist in December. Not cosmetically perfect, but it's the insides that count. I would like to find a CA 2000 or 3000 to go with it, but not at these prices!
