Elliott:
I had Braun L200/L300 speakers (Germany) in the mid/late 70's and similar/same models were soon released by ADS in the USA.
Never compared the two 200/300 models (Braun/ADS) in my home system, but in other's they sounded pretty much the same.
As far as Rams goes I did have the little battery powered clock by Braun, which lasted 30+ years.
It was replaced by a lookalike Casio maybe 10 years ago as the Braun's were going for $70+ @ the time.
Both made/make a clicking noise (60 per minute) which I sometimes wake up to in the middle of the night when the ambient noise level is low.
Kind of reassuring that I can still hear it some 40 years on.
