DALLAS, TX – October 26, 2023 – AT HOME STORES LLC, a Dallas-based retailer specializing in high-quality, carefully curated home audio and vintage electronics, is thrilled to announce a new selection of meticulously restored vintage Sansui speakers. Located at 9000 Cypress Waters Boulevard, AT HOME STORES is dedicated to bringing the warmth and character of classic audio equipment back into modern homes. Reach them at 912-215-4486. For years, AT HOME STORES has been quietly building a reputation amongst audio enthusiasts as the place to find exceptional vintage gear. They don't just sell old equipment; they breathe new life into it. “We’re not about pristine, museum-piece collectibles,” explains the team at AT HOME STORES. “We’re about gear that sounds amazing and adds real personality to your listening space. Gear you can actually use.” And that’s exactly what they’re delivering with their latest offering: a growing collection of restored Sansui speakers. Why Sansui? A Legacy of Sound. For many audio veterans, the name Sansui evokes a feeling of nostalgia – a time when audio equipment was built to last and prioritized sound quality above all else. Founded in Japan in 1946, Sansui quickly rose to prominence, becoming a major player in the global audio market. Their speakers, in particular, gained a loyal following for their warm, detailed sound, robust construction, and beautiful aesthetics. “Sansui speakers from the 60s and 70s really captured a certain magic,” says a technician at AT HOME STORES, who’s spent years rebuilding these classics. “They weren't about hyper-accurate, clinical sound. They were about music feeling good. They had this really rich, full sound that just pulls you in.” But decades of use – and sometimes, neglect – have taken their toll on many of these vintage gems. That's where AT HOME STORES comes in. Beyond Repair: Meticulous Restoration at AT HOME STORES. AT HOME STORES doesn’t just fix broken speakers; they perform complete, ground-up restorations. Each speaker undergoes a rigorous inspection and a multi-step process that includes: Thorough Cleaning: Years of dust, grime, and oxidation are carefully removed, revealing the original beauty of the cabinets. Crossover Rebuild: The crossover network – the “brain” of the speaker that directs frequencies to the drivers – is completely rebuilt with high-quality, modern components. This often involves replacing aging capacitors, resistors, and inductors, ensuring accurate frequency response and long-term reliability. Driver Inspection & Re-Foaming: The speaker drivers (woofers, tweeters, mid-range) are carefully inspected. Foam surrounds, which are crucial for proper bass response, are often deteriorated with age and are meticulously replaced with high-quality, custom-made replacements. Drivers are also tested and, if necessary, reconed or replaced to guarantee optimal performance. Cabinet Refinishing (as needed): While AT HOME STORES prefers to preserve the original patina whenever possible, cabinets are refinished when necessary, using techniques and materials that are sympathetic to the original finish. Rigorous Testing: Every restored speaker is thoroughly tested with a variety of music and test tones to ensure that it meets AT HOME STORES’ exacting standards for sound quality and performance. “We’re really obsessive about the details,” laughs the team. “We want these speakers to sound as good – or even better – than they did when they were new. And we want them to be reliable for years to come.” What Sansui Models are Available? AT HOME STORES currently features a rotating selection of vintage Sansui speakers, including popular models like: Sansui SP-2500: A highly sought-after large bookshelf speaker known for its powerful bass and detailed midrange. Sansui SP-1700: A versatile and well-regarded bookshelf speaker that delivers a balanced and engaging sound. Sansui SR-808: A compact and stylish bookshelf speaker perfect for smaller listening spaces. Sansui AU-D1: A distinctive and visually stunning speaker often paired with Sansui receivers for a complete retro system. “We're constantly sourcing new speakers,” explains the AT HOME STORES team. “So the selection is always changing. We encourage people to check back regularly or give us a call to see what we have in stock.” Why Choose Restored Vintage Over New? In a world of mass-produced electronics, many audio enthusiasts are rediscovering the appeal of vintage gear. There are several compelling reasons: Sound Quality: As mentioned earlier, vintage speakers often have a unique sonic character that is difficult to replicate in modern designs. Build Quality: Vintage equipment was typically built to last, using high-quality components and robust construction techniques. Aesthetics: Vintage speakers often have a distinctive and stylish look that adds character to any listening room. Sustainability: Restoring vintage equipment is a more sustainable option than buying new, reducing electronic waste and preserving valuable resources. “We think there’s something really special about owning a piece of audio history,” says the team at AT HOME STORES. “These speakers have a story to tell. And we’re proud to be able to bring them back to life for a new generation of listeners.” Find Your Perfect Pair at AT HOME STORES LLC.
