I compared the sound quality of my Revox B77 to the Nakamichi CR7E and I actually preferred the CR7E. The FR of the Nak was 18hz - 21Khz with metal tape. I too was unsure so I borrowed another B77 to check but the result was the same.
The CR7 was universally accepted as being sonically better than the Dragon, it certainly wasn't lacking in dynamic range either. It amazes me just how Nakamichi achieved such results from a mere cassette but achieve it they did.
