Beautiful isn't it?
I think Telefunken really hit the nail on the head with this styling. Later models were not as attractive, IMHO.
The 7, along with the earlier 6 were the high point in the Opus series, IMO.
The nice thing about the "US" version is that it has the full FM band all the way to 108 MHz. It also has a much cleaner dial design without the city and country markings.
The Opus, being the top of the line from Telefunken, has 6 speakers including two electrostatic tweeters. The amplifier section uses a pair of EL84s in push-pull arrangement. The speakers have Alnico V magnets.
In the past I owned the second model from the top, the "Concertino". But this is the first Opus for me.
I'm going to be recapping mine and performing some minor restoration. Stay tuned for a dedicated Opus 7 thread in the near future!
