...or the mini showdown
Ever since I have seen this topic:

I wanted these boxes for myself.
Now I do. And I absolutely love them.
Thanks to our good member Hardmen, the Sansui traveled half way around the globe, from Brazil to Romania to meet the Sony.
While the Sansui is a 3 piecer, the Sony is not
While the Sansui has a handle, Sony does not.
I could not choose a winner between these boxes. Both are very well engineered, and the build quality is amazing, but Sony is better at this point.
For design, I think the Sansui is better balanced, his lines "flow" more naturally, while the Sony is a little more serious, and those APM speakers sure look the part.
The Sansui has autoreverse (actually, I will need to see to that, it lacks belts) while Sony does not, but the amount of features on both of the boxes can make a full sized box blush.
I do not own the legendary Sanyo minis, however I do not believe these two can be beaten by them. For me, these two are the ultimate minis.
