In the stereo wars of the mid 70's sansui's answer to all other stereos manufacturers The G-33000 has the wattage to back up its size as well. It puts out a massive 300 watts which is second only to the technic's SA-1000 at 330 watts and equal to the Marantz 2600. this thing sounds as good as it looks it's a beast this thing in today's market will set you back a measly 8 grand and the older it gets the more it demands so soon the avg audiophile won't be able to afford one anyways this thing is a beauty!
