Picked up and restored a Grundig 2077

[anden]

Nice looking radio. How woulds you compare the sound quality of this Grundig to the 8 tube Zeniths with electrostatics - Y832, B835 or the later H845. They have a similar number of speakers of close to the same size.

I really like the Zeniths, and they seem to be the best sounding domestic sets.

I recently found a fantasic RCA model 67 QR 73 FM-M made by Graetz in about 1955. Four speakers, only a single EL84 output but it really puts out some nice sound. It seems that U.S. makers decided not to compete with the biggest German sets, so this was RCA's answer.....have Germany make it and put the RCA label on it.

But love those Zenith's, they put up a heck of a fight and can give many German sets a run for their money in terms of performance !
