BIG German Saba radio
#3

Hi Craig.

Yes the Opus 7 is a great radio and has incredible sound for a tabletop.

Size....
Opus is 26 X 16 X 11deep 34 lbs Original price 519DM
Saba is 28 X 18 X 12deep 52 lbs Original price 1130DM


So a little larger and was quite a bit more expensive when new. The Saba does have 5 speakers and 14 tubes compared to the Opus's 4 speakers and 9 tubes. It also has automatic tuning so you touch a button and it fine tunes the next station on the dial. The auto tuning, extreme high quality speakers and the fact that they are rumored to sound very good makes the Saba very expensive now. I've seen several of the Saba's with the speakers changed or some of the 5 missing and they still seem to do well in auctions.

I'm looking forward to hearing the Saba but both are exceptional radios. As of now the Telefunken is the best I've heard.
