sansui,are they good speakers?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, Sansui makes some pretty good audio equipment. Especially their high-end stuff.

But, "good" speakers is kind of a general term. Do you mean good quality (they'll last a long time), good sound, etc?

I have been into audio electronics for about 30 years. And, I have found that the best speakers on the market are the ones that sound the best to you for what you're willing to pay. For me, I like Klipsch speakers better than any other brand in a comparable price range. I find that they have extremely crisp and clear midrange and treble, especially for instruments and vocals. I also like the tight bass that goes way down low in the audible spectrum (you can't beat a Klipsch subwoofer).

Some people swear by Bose and are willing to pay a lot of money for Bose audio systems. I got a Bose Accoustimass 5 system for about $500 a few years ago and I hated it. To me, the bass is all muddy, there's no midrange, and the treble is all hissy.

I traded them to my stepson for some computer work and got a Klipsch system instead (Quintet satellites and center channel, plus a SW-10 powered subwoofer). But, my stepson loves the Bose speakers, probably because he has never had expensive speakers before and doesn't know any better.

If you're thinking of buying Sansui speakers, listen to them side-by-side with a coupla-few other brands of speakers in a similar price range. If you like the way they sound better than the others, get them. But, if you like the sound of something else, go with the something else if you really want to be happy with your purchase.
