I had a relative unfortunately pass away earlier this year and he owned one of these. I was able to take it home and I could tell it had not been powered up for many years so I took it to a electronics store and had it cleaned and gone over to make sure everything was good. (I did power it up on my own before taking it in and it did work and sound good but it needed some attention). I have been very much into home theater gear for a lot of years and I have some pretty decent stuff that I have also used for music so I have something to compare to. All I can say is this thing sounds so good I couldn't believe it. It is the best piece of gear I own for music, it smokes my 200 watt 7 and 5 channel amps I use for home theater. I can't say enough about it. If you find one you can afford or fix up get it you will not regret it.

I just bought my first Sansui 551...and it sound so guuuud!

Vintage beauty 😍😍

Makes you think what other things stay with you this long.

Big up say hope you enjoy your Sansui stereo receiver 👍 😁
