Other Notes: "This is the Sansui G-8000 and while it is the little brother of the Sansui G-9000 it is still one big receiver. Many comparisons are made between this receiver and the Pioneer SX-1250. Surprisingly I would guess that a larger percentage of those who’ve heard both receivers favor the Sansui G-8000 over the SX-1250. However, the Pioneer probably has a slightly better build quality and parts are more easily found nowadays for the 1250 then for the G-8000.

The Sansui G-8000 was manufactured around 1979 and had a list price of about $920.00. It has a huge toroidal power transformer and four filter caps per channel. It is rated at 120 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Its dimensions are 22.04W x 7.91H x 18.70D and it has Bass, Middle, Treble Tone Controls and inputs for Phono I+II, Tape I+II, AUX, Monitor, Mic.

The Sansui G-8000 is one of the more popular Sansui models because it has quite a few features, is big, performs well and has a great sound. It’s not as expensive as some of the other top of the line Sansui receivers so it’s a good mix for someone looking for a higher end piece of equipment with a budget above entry level." - ClassicReceivers.com
