Default Re: Philips Capela 673

Well, Ambient Noise, I have the Philips BD563 Saturn which shares many of the well thought through designs of the BD 673 Capela.

Most importantly, the audio output stage which is a transformerless push pull design into high impedance loudspeakers.

The audio quality is superb. Stupid as it sounds, on my set the speaker cloth moves on bass notes with the side mounted mid/tweeters, with specially shaped "tizzers," directing high notes forward to the listener.

This is some radio and if I was closer to Hungerford I would be very tempted to add the Capela to my "museum of choice."

The radio doesn't let you down on its AM sensitivity but FM is only to 100MHz.

If this wets your appetite, have a look at the schematic to see engineering at its best.
