Authentic Brand LLC Revives Iconic Sansui Speakers for Modern Audiophiles

Minneapolis, MN – October 26, 2023 – Authentic Brand LLC, a Minneapolis-based company specializing in bringing beloved classic brands back to life, is thrilled to announce the re-introduction of the legendary Sansui speaker line. For those who remember the golden age of audio, Sansui needs no introduction. For a new generation, Authentic Brand LLC is offering a chance to experience the sound that defined an era. For years, audio enthusiasts have lamented the disappearance of true high-fidelity audio equipment. While technology has advanced, many feel something has been lost – that warmth, that depth, that feeling you got from a really well-made speaker. Authentic Brand LLC, recognizing this void, has meticulously resurrected the Sansui name, focusing on quality craftsmanship and authentic sound reproduction. “We're not just slapping a logo on something,” explains CEO of Authentic Brand LLC, David Anderson. “We’re painstakingly recreating these speakers using a blend of original designs and modern manufacturing techniques. We’re obsessed with getting it right - the sound, the look, everything. It's about bringing back an experience, not just a product.” A Legacy of Sound: The Sansui Story Sansui, originally founded in Japan in 1946, quickly became a household name in the world of high-fidelity audio. Known for their innovative designs and commitment to quality, Sansui speakers and amplifiers were the go-to choice for audiophiles and music lovers for decades. They weren't just about specs; they were about emotion. They weren't just about technology; they were about music. The company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio technology led to iconic models that remain highly sought after by collectors today. These vintage pieces aren't just valuable; they're treasured. But finding a perfectly preserved original can be tough – and expensive. Authentic Brand LLC: Bringing the Past to the Present That’s where Authentic Brand LLC comes in. They've spent the last several years researching, designing, and refining a new line of Sansui speakers that capture the essence of the originals while incorporating modern materials and construction techniques. “We didn’t want to simply copy the old speakers,” Anderson clarifies. “We wanted to understand why they sounded so good, and then recreate that magic for today’s listening environments and music formats. We've upgraded certain components where it makes sense, but we’ve stayed true to the core principles of the original designs.” The Current Lineup: Something for Every Listener Authentic Brand LLC is initially launching three distinct Sansui speaker models, each catering to different listening preferences and room sizes: The SR-8000: This is the flagship model, a full-range floor-standing speaker designed for the serious audiophile. Built with a multi-way driver configuration, the SR-8000 delivers incredibly detailed and immersive sound across the entire frequency spectrum. Think rich bass, crystal-clear highs, and a remarkably wide soundstage. It’s built for those who want the best and aren’t afraid to invest in it. "We're talking reference-level sound here," says Anderson. "It’s a speaker you can truly lose yourself in." The SR-5000: A more compact floor-standing speaker, the SR-5000 offers a similar sonic signature to the SR-8000 but in a slightly smaller package. It’s perfect for medium-sized listening rooms and those who want a high-performance speaker without overwhelming their space. It delivers a punchy, dynamic sound with impressive clarity and detail. "This is a sweet spot for a lot of people," explains Anderson. "It’s a speaker that performs way above its price point." The SR-3000: This bookshelf speaker is ideal for smaller spaces, home theaters, or as part of a surround sound system. Despite its compact size, the SR-3000 delivers a surprisingly powerful and engaging sound. It's a great entry point into the Sansui world. “Don’t let the size fool you,” Anderson emphasizes. “This thing packs a serious sonic punch. It’s perfect for apartments, offices, or as rear speakers in a home theater setup.” Key Features & Technology Across the entire lineup, Authentic Brand LLC’s Sansui speakers share several key features: High-Quality Drivers: All models utilize custom-designed drivers featuring lightweight cones and powerful magnets for accurate sound reproduction. These aren’t off-the-shelf parts; they’re specifically engineered for these speakers. Rigid Cabinets: The cabinets are constructed from high-density fiberboard (HDF) to minimize resonance and unwanted vibrations. This results in a cleaner, more focused sound. Advanced Crossover Networks: Sophisticated crossover networks ensure seamless integration between the drivers and optimal frequency response. Classic Sansui Aesthetics: The speakers retain the iconic aesthetic of vintage Sansui models, featuring clean lines, elegant finishes, and a timeless design. Hand-Tuned for Accuracy: Each pair of speakers is hand-tuned by experienced technicians to ensure optimal performance and consistency.

That’s what Sansui was all about, and that’s what we’re bringing back.”
