    40 years I walked into a hifi shop in Toronto, saw a speaker with the name "Braun" and thought they were joking knowing they made shavers and gave them a listen and was blown away by the sound and immediately purchased them! Still own them.

    Here's an easy way to remember how to pronounce German words that contain "ei" or "ie". If the "e" comes after the "i" then it's "eee". If the "i" comes second, then it's "eye". So the German word for "unfortunately" is "leider", pronounced "L-eye-der". Dieter has the "e" second, so it's "D-eee-ter".

    At that price level, you are close to a Devialet Phantom 2. I've never listen to this Braun Speaker, but I've got the opportunity to listen to the Devialet few times. It's an incredible experience. I hope you will have the opportunity to try a Devialet and give us your feedback.

    Electrostatic speakers aren't known for their bass. But some of the best highs and mids you'll ever hear in your life. They look like guitar strings that vibrate to make the sound. There's no cone or moving coil like a conventional speaker. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a hybrid setup with a conventional woofer. These are extremely clean and smooth sounding like nothing else and they need alot ..... ALOT of power to drive them , because they're inefficient and need a powerful amplifier. That's where most of the cost comes from. 750 isn't a terrible price for what you'll get but it depends how much quality of the sound means. It won't blow the windows out of your house , but this is a very much like the Rolls Royce of portable speakers. You buy this for a room in your house and it lives in that spot until your kids move out , go to college , they inherent the speaker along with the house when you pass away , then on to your grandkids. This is just like buying an expensive piece of furniture or an expensive clock on the mantle. This sits beside that clock as an heirloom that everyone who questions about what it is will be impressed as with your Swiss mantle clock. I'd gladly pay 750 for this and just may buy one of these.

      I am 100% positive Blutooth data transfer wont exist by the time he becomes a grand dad. And this is nowhere near Rolly Royce equivalent in the realm of Blutooth speakers. There are B&O, Devialet which are similarly ‘consumer’ grade, but also all-in-one Blutooth integrated amp-speakers available from big names such as McIntosh, Cambridge, Naim..etc.

  • @marksapollo

    I've heard the NAIM smart speaker, costs around a grand and it sounds incredible, worth the money as it's also built to last. So this Braun has competition in the market.

    Better than a Sonos 5? I wonder.
    One aspect I can't believe they overlooked, is that when you mute the mic, the clean asthetics are destroyed as the mic button is no longer flush with the case. It would drive me nuts.
