Sansui SP 7500X

[Threecamels]

Are Sansui SP 7500X desirable speakers?

(I fixed it)

 

[mfhale]

I personally say 'no'...but others may disagree.

BTW, due to the CL link and value question, this thread will get moved to Dollars and Sense.

Welcome to AK.

You should post such inquiries in the "Dollars & Sense" section...

seems high to me. are you looking to keep em of flip em?
just asking. for that kind of $$$ if your looking for something to listen to you can do much better. what electronics are you planning to use?

welcome to AK

The general consensus is that no, they're not that desirable. Some people really like certain Sansui speakers, like the Sp-2000s, but not for that price. The pair I had, which weren't quite as well built as these (sp-x9900), were pretty terrible. Very little bass considering the woofer was about 17". While I've not heard this exact model, generally Sansui is not known for great speakers and certainly the 3 or 4 pair I've heard reinforced that reputation. The "AS-xxx" series have some admirers, though, and like most manufacturers, there's probably a few outliers that prove the consensus wrong.

For that price, though, you can get much better speakers.

Welcome to AK...if you want to see some cool vintage gear, swing by Akron Antique Audio (and say hi to the owner George for me, he's the tech I use for my tube gear).

I dont have anything to listen to right now and these would be cheaper than building Econo-waves. (which I'm prepared to do) Also, I have a Harmon-Kardon AVR-85.

i would look for something like paradigm or psb speaks to go with that HK.

Akron/Canton is not awash in gear (my parents live there, my dad can't find much of anything), but patience is needed to really find something worth the $$.

There's a pair of Klipsch Heresys on your CL, but they're up east of Cleveland. They're cheap enough that if you don't like them, you could probably get your money back. There is very little chance you could resell those Sansui speakers for that price. You might also want to check Cleveland CL...I see a pair of ADS on there.

Really? My experience has been far different. While it may not be a hotbed, like some of the major cities, it's far easier there to get the stuff in your trunk...

I'd pass on the Sansui's and look for something better.

is this thread about speakers or craigslist?

is this thread about speakers or craigslist?

Do you really care?

I say save your money for the E-waves. You'll be much happier.

good choice and advice

The thread is about trying to find good speakers for his parents, primarily in Akron. If you have a problem with us discussing craigslist as a possible source, then I guess you're just going to have a problem.

Why not just take a chill pill and go listen to your econowaves. It'd be far more productive and likely more pleasant for you and us.

Best wishes.

My experience is they are not good critical listening speakers or low/mid level.
But really come alive with lots of power and loud party application. IMHO they should be paired with a Sansui Amp/Receiver Personally I like mine.

Yeppers!

i would look for something like paradigm or psb speaks to go with that HK.

Paradigms go well with HK recievers. My Monitor 9 v3 were awsome as fronts. But when i got My KG 5.5, i had no choice but to bring the paradigms to the rear channel. To no down grade in power, bass et al, They are just as loud in the back channels.
