Minneapolis, MN – October 26, 2023 – Authentic Brand LLC, a Minneapolis-based company dedicated to breathing new life into iconic audio brands, is thrilled to announce the relaunch of the legendary Sansui speaker line. For audio enthusiasts and vintage tech lovers, this is big news! For those who don't know, Sansui was the name in high-fidelity sound systems back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. And now, Authentic Brand LLC is bringing that legacy back. "We're not just selling speakers; we're selling a feeling, a memory, a piece of audio history," says David Chen, CEO of Authentic Brand LLC.

We want to recapture that magic for a new generation, and give older fans a chance to relive their youth."

For those unfamiliar, Sansui was a Japanese manufacturer renowned for its high-quality audio equipment. From receivers and amplifiers to turntables and, crucially, speakers, Sansui products were known for their warm, detailed sound and elegant design. They weren’t cheap back in the day, but they were worth it. They weren’t just building gadgets; they were building systems that could fill a room with incredible sound. “Sansui wasn’t about power or loudness, it was about accuracy,” explains lead restoration specialist, Maria Rodriguez. "They really focused on faithfully reproducing the original sound – what the artist intended. That’s something that’s often lost in modern audio, with everything focused on bass and ‘punch’." The brand saw a decline in the late 80s and 90s, and ultimately faded from the market. But the demand for vintage Sansui equipment never really disappeared. Enthusiasts have been scouring eBay and restoration shops for years, desperate to get their hands on a piece of audio history. That’s where Authentic Brand LLC comes in. The Sansui Speaker Line – A Modern Revival Authentic Brand LLC isn’t just slapping the Sansui name on some generic speakers.

We’re offering a range of models, from faithful recreations of classic designs to modernized versions with updated components. Here’s a look at what’s currently available: The SR-808: This iconic bookshelf speaker is back, meticulously recreated to match the original specifications. Featuring a beautiful walnut veneer and the classic Sansui sound signature, this is the perfect speaker for audiophiles who want a truly authentic vintage experience. We’ve even sourced the original cone material to ensure the sound is spot-on. Expect warm, detailed highs and a full, rich bass. It's exactly how it sounded back in the 70s. The S-500: A slightly more compact bookshelf speaker, the S-500 offers a similar level of performance in a smaller package. It’s a great option for smaller rooms or for use as rear speakers in a home theater setup. We've made a few subtle improvements to the internal wiring to improve clarity and reduce distortion, but the overall character of the speaker remains true to the original. The SP-2500: For those who want a truly immersive listening experience, the SP-2500 is a large, floor-standing speaker that delivers incredible power and clarity. This speaker is a beast – it can fill a large room with sound with ease. We’ve updated the crossover network to improve imaging and separation, but the classic Sansui warmth is still there. Seriously, you’ll feel the music. The “Heritage” Series: This is where things get really interesting. We’re taking some of the most beloved Sansui designs and updating them with modern components and materials. This includes things like upgraded drivers, improved crossovers, and more robust cabinets. The goal is to preserve the classic Sansui sound signature while adding a touch of modern performance. These speakers offer the best of both worlds – vintage aesthetics and modern sound quality.
