loud­speak­ers

braun speak­ers L 710 black/white

These loud­speak­er box­es were man­u­fac­tured from 1972 onwards. The L 710 pro­vides a first-class repro­duc­tion in the high fre­quen­cies due to the tweet­ers and midrange dri­vers. The two 18 cm woofers in this series guar­an­tee a bal­anced and volu­mi­nous sound. Well-pre­served Braun L 710 loud­speak­ers with an appeal­ing appear­ance are rel­a­tive­ly easy to find, as the 710 was the most suc­cess­ful series in the loud­speak­er sec­tor from that time.

How­ev­er, the size also calls for the extreme­ly rare LF 700 speak­er feet, through which the speak­ers can be placed upright. The speak­ers sim­ply sound bet­ter when they are not placed cross­ways on the shelf.

The abso­lut per­fect com­pan­ion for an audio 310 placed in big­ger rooms. Mid-size loud­speak­er, pow­er rat­ing 40 watt at 4 ohm, 2 x 8 inch woofer, 2 inch midrange dome, 1 inch dome tweet­er, fre­quen­cy range 28–25000 Hz, size w 17,7 x h 9,8 x d 8,6 inch­es, weight 30 pounds.

braun speak­ers L 625 white

These state of the art Braun speak­er cab­i­nets were man­u­fac­tured start­ing in 1974. The L 625 can be described as the ulti­mate speak­er for the Braun audio 310 in medi­um room sizes. The L 625 is large­ly iden­ti­cal in con­struc­tion to the 620/1. The same crossover is installed and the midrange and tweet­er are also iden­ti­cal. The dif­fer­ence is the mod­i­fied 20 cm woofer, which deliv­ers a bal­anced and volu­mi­nous sound. It comes with 50 watts of pow­er draw in con­trast to the 620/1, which only draws 30 watts — so can han­dle 20 watts more pow­er. The foam sur­rounds on the woofers need to be replaced after more than 50 years of ser­vice. Well-pre­served Braun L 625 speak­ers with an attrac­tive appear­ance and pro­fes­sion­al­ly renewed beads are true mir­a­cles of sound and an absolute rarity.

braun speak­ers L 625 black

Beside the today favoured white lac­quer­ing there was also the very rare ver­sion in black, which how­ev­er tends towards anthracite. The matt var­nish is very sen­si­tive. If you dis­cov­er a pair of speak­ers, usu­al­ly the sur­faces are heav­i­ly scratched and the front grilles are dent­ed. Well pre­served and per­fect­ly restored ver­sions of the L 625 in black are there­fore an absolute rarity.

braun L 625 walnut

In addi­tion to the white paint fin­ish favoured today and the very rare anthracite ver­sion, Braun loud­speak­ers were also offered in wal­nut fin­ish. A high-qual­i­ty veneer was used, which shows no signs of age even after 40 years. In the 70s the wood look was a very pop­u­lar design. The L 625 shown here was also pro­duced as L 420/1 in walnut.

Small and com­pact loud­speak­er, pow­er rat­ing 30 watt at 4 ohm, 7 inch woofer, 1 inch dome tweet­er, fre­quen­cy range 35–25000 Hz, size w 12,6 x h 8,2 x d 6,7 inch­es, weight 11 pounds.

braun speak­ers L 620/1 white

These state-of-the-art loud­speak­ers start­ed in 1972. The L 620/1 has an addi­tion­al 2 inch midrange dome and has a more trans­par­ent sound than L 500 and L 600, which come with just a sin­gle one inch dome tweet­er. The 8 inch woofer garanties for volu­mi­nous low fre­quen­cies. The unique design char­ac­ter­is­tics are the smooth round­ed cor­ners and the per­fo­rat­ed alu­mini­um front grid. Often the grid is dent­ed and the lack of the cab­i­net has sig­nif­i­cant scratch­es, mak­ing Braun loud­speak­ers from the 70’s look dread­ful. After 40 years the foam beads of the L 610/1 sub­woofer are bro­ken into pieces. Per­fect speak­ers in mint con­di­tion and ide­al­ly with pro­fes­sion­al­ly renewed foam beads are hard to find.

braun speak­ers L 425 black

In the sev­en­ties a wide range of loud­speak­er sizes were offered for Braun’s com­pact stereo sys­tems. The iden­ti­cal L 425 and L 420 are the small­est avail­able speak­ers in Dieter Rams design. They were man­u­fac­tured between 1970 and 1974 and pro­duce a sur­pris­ing­ly full sound. The unique design char­ac­ter­is­tic is the per­fo­rat­ed alu­mini­um front grid and also the smooth round­ed cor­ners of the speak­er cab­i­net. This pair of speak­ers fits per­fect to a braun audio 310 mount­ed in a Vit­soe shelf, offer­ing a clear and warm sound with trans­par­ent high fre­quen­cies and a full bass range.
