This model had rated 40 Watt output delivered to two 11" speakers.
It also used a unique switching arrangement to allow defeat of the superhet function and go to a TRF circuit (only on broadcast band), for ultimate wideband performance.
I have never seen any other radio of the age use this design.
The slightly later "A-205/8E" model was bi-amped, with 10 more watts for just the tweeters.
It probably gave the Strat and Masterpiece a run for their money in terms of sound.
