   One day I will own a Braun Atelier HiFi system. One day.

     Perfect mount for my cat to knock it over.

     This was Braun's last ever HiFi system, released in 1990. In their own words:

     "The consumer electronics market is characterized by cut-throat competition. Manufacturers not offering an innovation or at least cosmetic pseudo changes every 2 years are quickly suspected of being obsolete.

     This increasingly risky development would mean having to weaken certain principles of our design philosophy: honesty & durability. We will no longer support this development.

     Braun HiFi becomes history."

     @fribbledom for some vintage Braun goodness, there is https://braunaudio.de but it looks like the kind of thing that would make one's wallet shiver out of terror :blobpeek:

     Quite prophetic words, sadly.
