John Smith - 11/27/2016 The review above refers to a later generation G series and is in way associated with this golden age sansui 3500. The G series was early eighties. The 3500 pictured above is an early solid state capacitor coupled design that is very similar to the Sansui 2000X.
Please do not confuse the rather mediocre sounding G series with this early classic 3500 receiver.
Thank You |
Randy Hepker - 12/14/2012 The Pure Power G3500 is rated at 26W per channel with less than .1% THD. I have owned mine for 6 months and liked it so well I just bought a G5500. This' a great sounding unit with nice reproduction and plays with authority at all volume levels. I run a pair of 6 ohm Klipsch KG4 speakers with it. That combination makes some beautiful music out of all types of music-rock, jazz, big band, country. Nice ones sell for $100 to $150 on eBay. They are sharp looking receivers with their own unique Sansui gold glow look. You'll love them if power is your thing! These aren't limp wristed sounding like the Pioneers (SX780; SX3700) from the same period that I own. This 52W unit blows away the 90W Pioneers! The G5500 is even cleaner sounding than the G3500!!! |
