Siemens is one of the largest engineering companies in the world. Trains, hospitals, power plants, semiconductors — the name is everywhere. But for one generation of European audio enthusiasts, Siemens meant something else entirely: a carefully engineered range of hi-fi separates, built with industrial precision and sold under numbered systems from 111 to 777. This is the history of Siemens through the lens of sound — from the telegraph workshops of 1847 to Klangfilm's cinema sound systems, from the vacuum tubes that audiophiles still hunt today to the flagship System 777 of the early 1980s. And the story of how one of the world's biggest companies quietly walked away from hi-fi.
