Braun Audio. Dieter Rams Designer

antigrunge2

seems they were involved with a/d/s

some ADS made in germany, then some made in usa???

From what I seem to recall the hifi stuff was phased out by Gliette after they bought Braun in the ‘80s

Also early Mark Levinson optics designs seem influenced by Dieter Rams’ work

Elliott:

I had Braun L200/L300 speakers (Germany) in the mid/late 70's and similar/same models were soon released by ADS in the USA.

Never compared the two 200/300 models (Braun/ADS) in my home system, but in other's they sounded pretty much the same.

As far as Rams goes I did have the little battery powered clock by Braun, which lasted 30+ years.

It was replaced by a lookalike Casio maybe 10 years ago as the Braun's were going for $70+ @ the time.

Both made/make a clicking noise (60 per minute) which I sometimes wake up to in the middle of the night when the ambient noise level is low.

Kind of reassuring that I can still hear it some 40 years on.
