Default Re: AKAI 1722-L reel to reel

Hi
If this machine isn't quite up to it I'd consider broadening your scope. Without getting into Revox territory there are a few decent models from Sony (eg the TC366 and 730) which I'd say outperform the Akai, though that's only my opinion. Some had built-in, or at least inclusive, speakers if that's what you're after. Tandberg and B&O are also good one-motor machines though come up less frquently. Then there are examples from Teac and Philips, though you do need to be careful with the latter.
Hopefully the 1722 will do the job for you, though the advice given above is very valid.
