Braun L-500S

Little is documented about the Braun L-500S. What the record shows comes from a single period listing, which placed it among Braun's speaker offerings in the mid-1970s. The enclosure came in natural walnut with a removable black grille. Mid-range and tweeter levels were adjustable with 3 dB stepped controls. Frequency response was rated at 37-20,000 Hz ±3 dB in an average living room. Dimensions: 25½″ H × 14⅛″ W × 11⅜″ D.

The same source also tagged the L-500S with the phrase “Bi-amplified Speaker System.” The surviving record doesn't say whether that meant built-in bi-amping or a system meant for use with an external electronic crossover.
