Located at 5633 SE 111TH AVE, AUTO PACIFIC LLC is quickly becoming the go-to source for high-quality, expertly revived audio gear. You can reach them at 908-346-7873. For years, AUTO PACIFIC LLC has operated with a simple, yet powerful mission: to breathe new life into iconic audio equipment from a golden age. They understand the passion people have for a truly warm, authentic sound, a sound often lost in today’s digitally-dominated landscape. And right now, they’re particularly excited about what they’ve been doing with Sansui speakers. Why Sansui? A Legacy of Sound Sansui, a Japanese audio manufacturer founded in 1946, holds a revered position in audio history. During the 1970s and 80s, Sansui was the name for many when it came to high-fidelity sound. Their speakers weren't just about reproducing music; they were about creating an experience. They were known for their powerful, detailed sound, beautiful cabinet designs, and overall build quality. Many collectors and enthusiasts swear by them, and for good reason. “There's a real magic to these older speakers,” says a spokesperson for AUTO PACIFIC LLC. “They were built differently back then. It wasn't just about pushing watts; it was about creating a sound that was full, rich, and engaging. Sansui really nailed that.” AUTO PACIFIC’s Restoration Process: More Than Just Fixing But finding a functional Sansui speaker from that era isn’t always easy. Decades of use – and sometimes, neglect – can take their toll. That’s where AUTO PACIFIC LLC shines. They don't just repair speakers; they meticulously restore them to their former glory – and often, even better. “We treat each speaker like a piece of art,” explains the AUTO PACIFIC team. “It’s not a quick flip. We completely disassemble each unit, carefully inspecting every component.” Here's a glimpse into their detailed process: Thorough Cleaning: Every part – from the cabinets to the internal components – is thoroughly cleaned to remove years of dust, grime, and oxidation. Component Testing: Each driver, crossover component (capacitors, resistors, inductors), and wiring is meticulously tested to identify anything that’s failing or degraded. Capacitor Replacement: This is a big one. Electrolytic capacitors dry out and fail over time, drastically affecting sound quality. AUTO PACIFIC LLC exclusively uses high-quality, audiophile-grade replacement capacitors. “Replacing those old caps makes a huge difference,” they emphasize. Driver Re-foaming/Re-coning: The foam surrounding the speaker drivers (the “surrounds”) often deteriorates, causing sound distortion and diminished bass response. AUTO PACIFIC LLC expertly replaces these surrounds, restoring the driver’s integrity and performance. They can also re-cone drivers if necessary, bringing them back to like-new condition. Cabinet Refinishing (Optional): Many of the vintage Sansui speakers featured beautiful wood cabinets. AUTO PACIFIC LLC offers cabinet refinishing services to restore the cabinets to their original beauty or to customize them to the customer’s preferences. This includes veneer repair, sanding, staining, and applying a durable finish. Rigorous Testing: Once reassembled, each speaker undergoes rigorous testing with various audio sources to ensure optimal performance. They don't just listen for sound; they use specialized equipment to analyze frequency response, distortion, and other critical parameters. What Sansui Models are Available? AUTO PACIFIC LLC regularly sources and restores a wide range of Sansui speakers, including highly sought-after models like: Sansui SP-2500: A legendary large bookshelf speaker known for its powerful bass and exceptional clarity. Sansui SP-1700: Another popular bookshelf model, offering a balanced and detailed sound. Sansui SR-8000: A classic floor-standing speaker with a sophisticated design and impressive sonic performance. Sansui AU-717/817 integrated amps paired with matching Sansui speakers: AUTO PACIFIC also offers fully restored Sansui amplifiers to complete the vintage audio experience. “We’re always on the lookout for great examples,” says the AUTO PACIFIC team. “Our inventory is constantly changing, so it’s best to check our website or give us a call to see what we have in stock.” Why Choose a Restored Sansui Speaker from AUTO PACIFIC LLC?
