Sansui has made some good amps like the AU 919 or the AU-X1 but these amps are now around 30 years old. I would also suggest you look for a newer amp. Music Direct now has a Marantz integrated that lists for $1000 on sale for $600, or NAD as Magfan suggested.
Sansui AU-D9 at 4 ohms?
I recently fell in love with my Magnepan SMGa's that I bought. They sound good with my little Nikko NA-550 (45wpc?) but I'm thinking some more power will really unleash them.
I don't have a huge budget. Looking at a few integrateds and one of them is a Sansui AU-D9. Love the black faceplate with the wood case. Highly regarded as a budget amp, it seems.
I have a relatively small listening room but it is unadorned: not a lot of carpet, draperies or furniture. The speakers are well placed and they sound good. I listen to a lot of classical, jazz and instrumental music but also like to rock out once in a while.
Another planar speaker lover told me I'm looking for an amp that is "4 ohm stable." How about that AU-D9? The service manual on hifi engine simply says 95WPC at 8 ohm...
Opinions?
