Power amplifier, 150 watts per channel into 8 ohm (stereo)Frequency response: 20Hz to 20kHzTotal harmonic distortion: 0,03%Dimensions: 445x70x360mmWeight: 11kg
Condition isn’t stated, so at US$786 this lands well below the US$1,247 25th percentile and looks like a strong deal rather than just a fair one. Against a US$1,708 median and US$3,659 upper quartile, it’s priced to move, assuming it’s complete and working properly.
That makes it especially appealing on the merits: the PA4 is a respected Braun power amp with plenty of drive, a clean industrial design, and enough current to make a serious vintage system sing. At this price, the main thing to check is basic health—quiet operation, no channel imbalance, no repair history surprises, and that any matching Braun control gear or original accessories are included if relevant.
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.
