Braun HiFi LE1 Elektrostatic Loudspeaker with Braun Tube Amp CSV 60, Receiver CE 15, Turntable PCS 5, Kangaroo HiFi Sideboard

braun LE1

The LE1 is the most beau­tiful and pio­nee­ring loud­spea­k­er design by designer Dieter Rams, which appeared on the market towards the end of the 1950s. The design of the elec­tro­sta­tic loud­spea­k­er with its clear form lan­guage has lost none of its fresh­ness to this day and in a his­to­ri­cal con­text is undis­pu­ted­ly the god­fa­ther of the design of today’s Apple com­pu­ters. The sound is excep­tio­nal­ly pre­cise, smooth and incre­di­bly rea­li­stic in the depth gra­da­ti­on. Must have.

braun wall unit

The wall-moun­ted system is one of the most sought-after hi-fi sys­tems from the 60s. The combi­nation of the ampli­fier part with radio, the tape recor­der, the matching spea­k­ers and the record player on a modi­fied Vitsoe 606 shelf is a great idea of the designer Dieter Rams. Braunau­dio offers the wall-moun­ted system in per­fect opti­cal and tech­ni­cal con­di­ti­on with all access­ories, cable con­cept and detail­ed assem­bly ins­truc­tions. Here in the pic­tu­re also the Zapf-Vitsoe Lounge Chair RZ 602 and the matching side­ta­ble. Pure vintage.

The fact that the Braun audio 310 fits per­fect­ly into the Vitsoe 606 is not known to every lover of the iconic stereo system. This option is also rather unknown to the count­less owners of the Vitsoe 606 shelf desi­gned in the early 1960s. The 65 cm wide stereo system from the audio series matches into the nar­rower ele­ment of the Vitsoe shelf. In combi­nation with the record shelf, a CD player and the Blue­tooth recei­ver, the audio 310 inte­gra­tes into the Vitsoe shelf as an ele­gant audio bar. For some spea­k­er models, there are also spe­cial fit­tings for han­ging in the cult shelf.

Sui­ta­ble spea­k­ers for the Braun audio stereo’s are available in many dif­fe­rent sizes and designs. The L 425 as the smal­lest spea­k­er fits well into the Vitsoe shelf 606. Cha­rac­te­ristic for the 70s spea­k­ers is the Dieter Rams design with the roun­ded cor­ners, anodi­zed alu­mi­num grille and the white var­nish. The 60s spea­k­ers came with right-angled cor­ners. Well-pre­ser­ved Braun spea­k­ers from the 60s and 70s are hard to get and achie­ve reasonable prices.

It depends on the paint con­di­ti­on, which price is reasonable for a Braun audio 310. The market prices vary in a range bet­ween some hundred Euros for stereo sys­tems in dreadful state and up to seve­ral thousand Euros for a 70s stereo in abso­lu­te per­fect con­di­ti­on. The most common pro­blems are the paint dama­ges on the silver lacke­red sur­face caused by the trans­pa­rent per­spex lid. Real Braun fans are loo­king after fully func­tionable audio 310 stereo’s for their living rooms, desi­ring per­fect shape and con­di­ti­on and a pair of sui­ting loud­spea­k­ers also.

as little design as possible

The idea for this tim­e­l­ess design stems from the basic atti­tu­de of the then young designer Dieter Rams and his team at the up-and-coming and style-defi­ning Braun AG in Frank­furt in the 1960s. The sen­si­ble arran­ge­ment of con­trols, cou­pled with simple design lan­guage, a reduc­tion to the bare essen­ti­als and a sense of beauty are just as true today as they were then. Sus­taina­bi­li­ty and lon­ge­vi­ty can be heard and seen live in a well-res­to­red audio 310 from 1972.
