Grundig V8400 MKII - Potential partial CCI?
Inviato: lun 27 lug 2020, 13:04
Hi everybody!
I wanted to share a new find.
I bought V8400MKII cheaply for use in my restaurant, since it had enough power and 4 outs with 2 extra surround outs.. I thought that I can't go wrong with Grundig since they are reliable and - well, I'm yet to hear one that doesn't sound excellent. However, since it belongs to late 80s (1989.) I didn't expect much to be honest..
I must say that I was quite surprised when I connected it to my SL1000s. Sound was typical Grundig.
Crystally-clear soundstage, transparent, detailed and harmonically rich.
It sure isn't playing on level of V1700 or V7000 - it lacks some of that airiness, but i would put it somewhere slightly above V4200 with traces of robust V7500 sound character.
Chassis is similar to that of V7500 both in construction and material.
Since I don't know much about CCI I'm sharing photo of gut-shoot for evaluation.
