Zwei klassische Braun HIFI Geräte aus der Mitte der Sechziger Jahre. Design von Dieter Rahms. Beide Geräte sind defekt. Aber für ambitionierte Techniker oder Bastler kein Problem. Die Geräte sind äußerlich für ihr alter noch sehr gut erhalten. Nur Abholung in Essen.
For a Braun CSV 250 listed at €70, that is well below the typical used market I can identify, where functioning examples and hobbyist units are usually around €179 to €379, with parts-only listings often still much higher; on that basis, €70 is a bargain-tier asking price even before you factor in the classic Braun/Dieter Rams appeal. If the model is complete and not cosmetically rough, the price is strong enough to outweigh most ordinary buying hesitation.
What makes it worth a look is the combination of design significance, solid vintage hi-fi cachet, and the fact that good Braun units tend to hold enthusiast demand. But the “for_parts” tag matters: only treat this as a great buy if you specifically want a project or have the means to repair it, because age-related issues, dirty controls, and deeper fault work are exactly what can turn a cheap Braun into an expensive one.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Braun Audio traces its origins to 1921, when German engineer Max Braun founded the company in Frankfurt as a modest workshop producing radio components. By 1929, it had launched its own receivers, earning international acclaim at the 1937 Paris World Fair for sound engineering innovations. Post-World War II, Braun rebuilt with a sharp focus on high-fidelity reproduction, pioneering advancements under designer Dieter Rams from 1956 onward, including the first all-wave receiver, mobile music player (TP1 in 1959), stackable Hi-Fi systems, and wall-mounted integrated setups—many now museum pieces like those at MoMA.
The brand excelled in compact, modular stereo systems during the 1960s and 1970s, with iconic models like Audio 1, Audio 2, Audio 250, and Audio 300 featuring solid metal casings and uncompromised sound quality. Braun emphasized innovative portables, record players with plexiglass covers, and educational brochures on optimal listening setups, blending functionality with Rams' minimalist aesthetic across radios, phonographs, amplifiers, and early headphones.
Renowned among vintage collectors and design aficionados for its ahead-of-its-time hi-fi heritage, Braun Audio holds a niche position as a mid-tier icon of German engineering precision. After a 28-year hiatus, it relaunched in the 2010s under license, targeting enthusiasts who value timeless quality over cutting-edge exotica, with a current emphasis on preserving its storytelling legacy through curated webshops and reissues.
