Akai AS-1080DB - 80wpc quad?

I saw one of these recently in an auction on ebay and am curious about it. It was Akai's flagship receiver in 1975, it is a quad that claims to be 80 watts per channel. This seems extremely high for a quad, even higher than a Sansui QRX-9001. The Akai looked quite nice, all silver with power meters for each channel...its tuner face looked similar to a Pioneer SX-*50 series.

Does anyone have any experience with this receiver? I did a search here but no results.

I'm getting one of those today or tomorrow via the bay in Uk. The listing was simply saying: some sort of massive amplifier. That's it, no model number in the title nor brand. Cant wait to hear what it's gotta say musically! Looks stunning for sure. Cost: £100 incl. shipping ($160)...more to follow if desired....
