New-production pricing is not a meaningful comparison here: the V72 is a discontinued broadcast tube module, and restored examples have been advertised around US$2,000. Against 31 comparable used listings, the median is US$174, with the upper quartile at US$367. At US$5,733, this is exceptionally ambitious—far beyond the normal used-market range unless the package includes unusually rare, fully restored examples with valuable original accessories and documented provenance.
The V72 remains desirable for its transformer-coupled sound, fixed 34 dB gain, balanced I/O, and genuine German broadcast heritage; Siemens-built units are historically significant and can be excellent recording tools when properly serviced. Including two V72s and two EAB W66a modules adds real interest, but not enough to make this asking price look sensible on the available evidence. A buyer should require detailed photographs, serials, restoration records, tube and transformer condition, tested operation, and confirmation that suitable power supplies and cabling are included.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Siemens is a German industrial and technology company founded in Berlin in 1847 by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske. Its heritage is firmly rooted in electrical engineering, beginning with the pointer telegraph and expanding over more than 175 years into a global electronics and infrastructure giant. While not primarily an audio brand in the consumer hi-fi sense, Siemens has had long-running relevance in communications, broadcast, and professional electronics.
In audio, Siemens is best associated with professional and industrial electronics, communications equipment, and historically with parts and tubes rather than with mainstream hi-fi products. It is not known as a major maker of amplifiers, speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables for the consumer market. Where the name appears in audio circles, it is usually tied to vintage German valves/tubes, broadcast components, or related technical hardware.
As a hi-fi brand, Siemens sits outside the usual high-end or mid-tier consumer landscape. Its reputation is strongest among collectors, engineers, and vintage-audio enthusiasts who value German-built components and historic tube gear. For buyers seeking modern audiophile separates, Siemens is not a primary brand; for those hunting classic European parts and legacy technical quality, it has real cachet.
