Sansui similarly suicided. From excellent to junk.

Sansui had many things. Lots o' buttons, lots o' knobs, reasonably good build-quality, but absolutely NOTHING to raise its brand above any other contemporary brand from the Pacific Rim. One more jellybean in the bowl distinguishable only by its surface color.

That's odd. As I recall Sansui valve amps had excellent sound quality, not great build quality but good enough, and certainly not lots of knobs or buttons. Unfortunately when they transistorised around '70 their quality dropped through the floor.
