Revox, the consumer division of Studer, is probably more known for their fantastic reel-to-reel machines, such as the B77 and PR99, than anything else. However, this German made Revox B780 is one fine receiver and was introduced to the market in 1980. It is not an AM/FM receiver. It is FM only and produces 70 watts per channel into 8 ohms with no more than 0.05% total harmonic distortion.
It definitely has a distinctive appearance and looks a little more like a piece of electronic test equipment you'd see in a lab rather than a receiver. There is something about the look that is appealing though. I guess the stereo has a feel of precision to it.
