I'd take a soft pass. It's old even if refurbished and even the connections spell grief. The tubes are available and inexpensive. With your speakers, look at a low-powered SET. Do you need a preamplifier integrated?
Braun CSV 60
Hello,
I’m eying an ad for a Braun CSV 60 tube amplifier for 650€. It’s « fully restored ». Designed by Dieter Rams. The seller also has Braun speakers for sale. Are they worth a listen?
- How do you plug modern speakers and RCA into this amp? The inputs/outputs are obsolete.
- Does it sound any good? Will it be an improvement over my Continental Edison PA9109 40W AB amp from 1979? I’m using Closer Acoustics OGY 91db sensitive 15W 8ohm speakers.
- Are the tubes easy to purchase? (4 x ECC83/2 x ECF 80/4 x PL500)
Thanks for your input. I’m not pulling the trigger just yet.
