Up for sale is a completely recapped entry level model from Sansui’s highly sought after ‘PROFESSIONAL SERIES’ AUx900-AU20000 range. This integrated amplifier was made in 1976 and reproduces not only ‘three dimensional sound’, it also brings out warmth in every recording without sacrificing detail. I understand from wider reading that Sansui’s mid-late 1970s range aimed to produce a Tube-like realism through solid state electronics. In the AU-2900, they have succeeded in producing a classic. In most online opinion, this amplifier surpasses NAIM, NAD, AUDIO ANALOGUE, ROKSAN and CYRUS in quality – and I can’t help but agree. Do not be fooled by its seemingly low power, as with most Sansui classics from the 1970s, 17 Watts @ 8 Ohms in this case sound like 70 Watts! It can power just about any speaker out there. I rarely turn the volume beyond position 2. I am currently pairing it with 200 Watt floorstanders and there has been no problem driving large volumes. Specifications below from Hifiengine.com:
“The Sansui AU 2900 is an integrated stereo amplifier with ample power (17 watts, both channels into 8 ohms, at 1000Hz) and dramatically low-distortion, clean tone characterise the most moderately-priced of the AU Series. It's design is also based on the true complementary OCL power circuit, with dual-transistor differential amp in the initial stage. Dual plus/minus power supply for all major circuits gives you interference-free, stable tonal quality at all reproduction levels.
Features include: Low-noise phono equaliser Stepped tone controls Outputs for 2 sets of speaker systems Complete range of controls, high filter and loudness switches, source selectors and input/output terminals Power output: 17 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo). But when measured as a whole, the amp produces 56 watts in power according to the brochure. Frequency response: 10Hz to 40kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.3% Damping factor: 50 Signal to noise ratio: 90dB (line) Channel separation: 57dB (MM) Dimensions: 400 x 120 x 240mm Weight: 5.7kg Year: 1976”
You should treat this amplifier as 99% brand new because it was bought from a British professional audio restorer three months ago as a temporary stand-in for my AU-20000 which is undergoing restoration. All caps have been replaced and all switches cleaned. PLUS speaker terminals have been upgraded to the latest WBT type that can accommodate all spade and banana-type speaker cable terminations. Power socket [IEC three pin type] has also been added where the manufacturer-supplied power cable used to be to accommodate the latest power cables. Listen to radio, CD, phono or MP3 converted to analogue stream through this Sansui and you’ll enjoy non-fatiguing, jaw-dropping glorious analogue sound!
Asking price $410.00 but lower offers most welcome!
