Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – AUTO PACIFIC LLC, a leading importer and restorer of classic audio equipment, is thrilled to announce a fresh batch of meticulously refurbished Sansui Japan speakers are now available. Located in Portland, Oregon, AUTO PACIFIC LLC has been quietly building a reputation amongst audio enthusiasts for sourcing, repairing, and reviving iconic speakers from the golden age of hi-fi. They're a small operation, but passionate about sound, and specialize in bringing vintage gear back to its former glory. You can reach them at 908-346-7873. For those who remember the warmth and richness of analog audio, or those curious to experience it for the first time, these restored Sansui speakers offer a unique and compelling alternative to modern audio solutions. AUTO PACIFIC LLC isn’t just selling speakers; they're offering a piece of audio history. Sansui: A Legacy of Sound Sansui, a Japanese manufacturer with roots dating back to 1944, built a strong reputation for high-quality audio equipment during the mid-20th century. Known for their innovative designs, robust construction, and, most importantly, exceptional sound quality, Sansui speakers quickly became favorites among audiophiles. They weren’t about flashy gimmicks; they focused on getting the sound right. "A lot of modern speakers prioritize a certain type of bass or a really bright treble," explains a spokesperson for AUTO PACIFIC LLC. "Sansui speakers, particularly the models we're restoring, are different. They aim for a balanced, natural sound that’s really easy to listen to for hours. It's a sound that draws you into the music, instead of just throwing it at you." Why Restore? The Appeal of Vintage Audio In a world of disposable tech, the idea of restoring vintage equipment might seem strange. But for many, it's about more than just sound quality. It's about craftsmanship, durability, and owning something with a story. "These speakers were built to last," says the AUTO PACIFIC LLC spokesperson. “They used high-quality materials and thoughtful engineering. They weren’t designed to be replaced every few years. And, frankly, a lot of modern speakers just can’t compete with the sound quality of these classics.” But vintage isn't always ready to go. Years of use and storage can take their toll. That's where AUTO PACIFIC LLC steps in. AUTO PACIFIC LLC: More Than Just Restoration AUTO PACIFIC LLC doesn't just find old speakers and ship them out. Their process is thorough and meticulous. Each speaker undergoes a comprehensive inspection, repair, and restoration process. This includes: Cabinet Refinishing: Cabinets are carefully cleaned, repaired, and refinished to restore their original beauty. AUTO PACIFIC LLC aims to preserve the original character of the wood, while removing years of wear and tear. Driver Inspection & Repair/Replacement: Drivers (the components that actually produce the sound) are thoroughly tested. Any damaged or worn drivers are either repaired or replaced with components that match the original specifications. Finding original parts can be challenging, and AUTO PACIFIC LLC goes the extra mile to ensure authenticity. Crossover Network Recapping: The crossover network is the "brain" of the speaker, directing frequencies to the appropriate drivers. Over time, the capacitors in the crossover network can degrade, affecting sound quality. AUTO PACIFIC LLC replaces all capacitors in the crossover network with new, high-quality components, restoring the speaker's original tonal balance. Rigorous Testing: Once the restoration is complete, each speaker is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets AUTO PACIFIC LLC's high standards for performance and sound quality. They aren't just checking if it works; they're making sure it sounds amazing. What Sansui Models are Available?

It's a versatile speaker that works well with a variety of musical genres. Sansui SP-1700: A compact bookshelf speaker that offers surprising performance for its size.
