One seller is asking $1400 USD for the G-971 receiver; see picclick.com/Vintage-Sansui-G-971-Blackface-Stereo...

Another seller coincidentally is asking the same price (1400) for the speakers: see www.ebay.com/.../304028363175?hash=item46c980a9a7...

The CD player prices I see are more varied, between about $50 and $100 USD.

So all together, without consideration of condition or shipping etc., the three sum to as high as almost $3000!

These are only asking prices. You have to filter eBay to see the items that sold. I did that and nothing sold recently, so wait a few weeks.

Looks like you have some popular pieces but would have to be valued individually. Of course, overall condition (working?) will determine the final value.

Your first item: Sansui G-971 receiver
This seems to be the most valuable. A receiver was sold on eBay for $1,400 but there is no date given. Also, the seller had this piece listed for sale for over 4 years before it sold.
It's possible to use this as 'value' but since it took so long to sell I would say the price was maybe too high. However, this brand is popular and all models seem to bring in good money. Here is a link to sold listings on eBay but I did not see your model sold.
www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=vintage+sansui...

This site has a lot of information about this unit as well as a history of the company. You can join the site and gain even more information as well as a manual.

Second item: JBL L-166 speakers
Looks like these speakers (in good condition) are running over $1,000 - $1,400.

You can check out eBay's sold listings for this model and other models.

Third item: Technics SL-MC4 CD player.
This has lower value and seems to be running in the $100 area.

Sansui G-971 receiver is the European version of the Japanese G-9700. This model was the "Top of the Line" in the G-*700 series of receivers and features a 200wpc power amplifier stage. It drives any speakers to pretty much any volume level with ease. Sansui really knows how to process an audio signal. This model started in the late 1970s.

The price of course depends on the condition of the receiver.
The price of this new model is almost $3000.
Sansui G-971/G-9700 receiver has weight 22.2kg, so shipping is not cheap and therefore price of shipping is not included.

The prices of Sansui G-971/G-9700 in good condition are quite high, but I don't think they can be sold quickly for such high price.
I read that one guy bought such a receiver the same model, but in need of repair for $100, and another even for $35. You do not write in what condition your receiver is. If it needs to be repaired, then first estimate the cost of the repair, and if it doesn't cost much, then it's better to restore it and then to sell (the price will be high).

About JBL L166 Speakers. The price of course also depends on the condition and does not include shipping either. Here this model in excellent condition was sold for $650 picclick.com/JBL-L166-Speakers-183448821467.html,
