Offered is „7070“ by Sansui as second-hand device from the category „Tuner / Receiver / Network Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5637405791 ends on 20.12.2026 at 10:50 o'clock.
This is a fair ask, sitting almost exactly at the top of the recent market: €1,250 versus a €1,089 median and €1,248 75th percentile. It is not a bargain, but “good” condition makes the premium defensible if the receiver is genuinely clean and fully tested.
The 7070 is a desirable late-1970s Sansui with a strong, musical 60-watt-per-channel amplifier, capable tuner, phono inputs, useful controls, and the classic meters-and-dial presentation. It offers plenty of drive for normal 8-ohm speakers and remains relatively serviceable. At this price, confirm both channels, tuner alignment, relay operation, meter illumination, and stable performance after warming up: aging power-stage resistors, bias issues, tired lamps, and dirty relay contacts are known concerns. If recently serviced, €1,250 is reasonable; otherwise, negotiation would be sensible.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sansui, a pioneering Japanese audio brand, traces its origins to 1947 when it was founded in Tokyo by brothers Sakurai and Shunichi Yamamoto. Emerging from post-war Japan, the company quickly established itself as an innovator in consumer electronics, leveraging precision engineering to craft components that rivaled Western counterparts. Its heritage is rooted in the golden era of hi-fi, where Sansui's commitment to sonic purity helped define Japan's rise as a global audio powerhouse.
The brand excelled in a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, with particular renown for its integrated amplifiers, receivers, and tuners that delivered warm, dynamic sound. Sansui also produced acclaimed speakers, turntables, cassette decks, and later digital converters, emphasizing robust build quality and innovative features like direct-coupled circuitry for low distortion. These products catered to audiophiles seeking balanced performance across analog and early digital domains.
Today, Sansui holds a cherished position in the vintage collector market, revered for its mid-to-high-end gear from the 1970s and 1980s—icons like the AU-series amps remain sought after for their musicality and reliability. While no longer a frontline manufacturer, its legacy endures among discerning buyers restoring classics or hunting timeless performers, blending nostalgia with enduring value.
