Sansui’s historic Japanese hi-fi electronics remain in use in vintage systems. The examples here concern older amplifiers rather than current consumer products sold under the name.
Bonsai HiFi lists Sansui in its amplifiers setup. The equipment details below reflect the venue record.
Current amplifier: BA-2000
Inside the system
Two Technics 1200-series decks feed an ARS MODEL9900 rotary mixer. The main speakers are sealed GR-Research X-CS Encores, each using two M-165 woofers around a central tweeter. The design is rated at 90 dB sensitivity with a nominal 8 Ω impedance. A Sansui BA-2000 provides amplification, with Threshold 400A and S/150 amplifiers also in the collection and rotation.
One KEF KC62 and two KC92 subwoofers support the sealed mains, while miniDSP processing addresses troublesome room frequencies. A kick-sub position sits behind the bar, although its model assignment is unspecified. With several bass sources in a compact room, their placement, level and timing are central to integration with the main speakers.
