I take Exception to that!

Revox Exception-

I hope this image displays. Just curious your take on this one? Not for me, just looking.



Here's what they say about it:

E 450 Amplifier

At 200 watts RMS per channel, the E 450 amplifier, the core unit of the Exception system, delivers a stunning sound reproduction. Sporting connectors for two pairs of loudspeakers and up to eight components as well as two outputs for recording, the E 450 is ready to meet today's and tomorrow's requirements. Extremely short signal paths of the input circuit, low-noise operational amplifier's pre- and power sections add up to an impeccable sonic performance.

E 426 CD Player

The E 426 CD player is a user-friendly top loader that allows you to change CDs easily and quickly. As it carries latest generation Hall motor drives, there are no mechanical influences while the discs are read, which makes the E 426 a lifelong companion. As far as signal processing is concerned, we strictly separated the digital from the analogue path by employing two transformers and two power supply circuit to eliminate possible mutual influencing. Top quality components ensure an optimum conditioning of the signals which are fed in their purest form to the outputs. Balanced and single-ended connectors act as interface to external equipment. Two digital outputs enable you to directly record your CDs on DAT or MiniDisc.

I'd love to see more components built using non square box's they're much more visually appealing.

It looks like a Nintendo 64.

lol Sili, actually, I think your right. doh!

David, I don't know, I haven't heard the stuff, just happened across it, and thought it was rather interesting.

I have no idea if it's any good but you have to give it to them for being original. In the CE world I I'd do everything I could think of to be little different. Kind of the "baffle them with bullshit" theory only using optics!

Revox is a well respected brand in Europe -- and they used to supply a lot of professional reel-to-reel tape gear in this country. I have an old Revox A-77 tape deck that accepts up to 10 1/2" reels sitting in my HT (of course it hasn't been used in years). :>)

Their "standard" components have always been a bit off-beat in design, but rock solid engineering and high quality construction typically makes their gear perform well -- and last "forever" Of course, I have not had any experience with the model on display above, so I cannot vouch for its performance.

PS -- none of their gear has ever been mistaken for "budget" goods. :>) IOW, plan to write a BIG check for anything they make. :>)

[Lex]

I think the most interesting thing about the design is, you could stack 5 of them on a table, and it still look like it's in a rack! 8)

Yeah, come to think of it, I remember Revox from way back in the dark ages too Burke.

Hmmmmmm. Think I remember seeing that in an old James Bond Movie. You know the underwater lair.
