They’re genuinely passionate about bringing these classics back to exactly how they were meant to sound. “We see a lot of these speakers come in needing serious love,” explains a representative from ARVO TECH. “Years of use, sometimes even improper storage, take a toll. But these Sansui speakers were built to last, and we're dedicated to making sure they keep playing great music for another generation.” Why Sansui? A Legacy of Sound Sansui, a Japanese company with a rich history dating back to 1946, gained legendary status in the 1970s and 80s. They weren’t just building speakers; they were crafting experiences. Known for their warm, detailed sound, and beautiful cabinet designs, Sansui speakers quickly became a favorite among audio enthusiasts. Models like the SR-8000, SP-2500, and the smaller, but equally capable, SP-1700 are particularly sought after. "These speakers weren't about blasting bass; they were about fidelity," explains an ARVO TECH technician. “They aimed for a natural, balanced sound that let you hear the music as the artist intended. That’s something a lot of modern speakers lack.” What Does ARVO TECH Do? Beyond Basic Repair. ARVO TECH doesn't just fix these speakers; they restore them. There’s a big difference. A simple repair might get them playing again, but a restoration brings them back to their original glory. Here’s a breakdown of what ARVO TECH’s process typically involves: Detailed Inspection: Every speaker undergoes a thorough inspection to identify every problem, from blown drivers to deteriorated foam surrounds, cracked cabinets, and faulty crossovers. Cabinet Restoration: This includes cleaning, refinishing (matching the original stain and finish), and repairing any damage, like cracks or veneer lifting. ARVO TECH can even handle more extensive cabinet work if needed. They strive to make the cabinets look as good as they did when they left the factory. Driver Reconditioning/Replacement: Original drivers are carefully inspected. If possible, they’re reconditioned – meaning the surrounds (the rubber or foam rings around the cones) are replaced, the cones are cleaned and inspected for damage, and the voice coils are tested. If a driver is beyond repair, ARVO TECH sources high-quality replacements that are carefully matched to the original specifications. They don't just throw in any driver; they want to preserve the original sound signature. Crossover Recapping: This is a crucial step often overlooked. The capacitors in the crossover network (the part that divides the sound frequencies to the different drivers) degrade over time, leading to a loss of clarity and detail. ARVO TECH replaces all the electrolytic capacitors with high-quality, modern equivalents, breathing new life into the sound. They even use premium film capacitors where appropriate for enhanced performance. Internal Wiring: Old, brittle wiring is replaced with high-quality oxygen-free copper wire, ensuring a clean and reliable signal path. Testing and Calibration: After the restoration is complete, the speakers are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet ARVO TECH’s rigorous standards. They're calibrated to ensure proper balance and performance.
