With the rr226 Hifi-system a big protagonist of the 60ies , the Brionvega Radiofonograf, comes back and enriches your world by the „Music of the expression“.

Already in 1965 the brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni rent the strucural concept of the architecture, to use it in the design. Established was a monument for the music, which should become an island, on which all available instruments shuld go on land, which were able to reflect sounds: The solution was the rr226 Hifi-system, which is now remade by Brionvega.

Radio, record player and speaker combine a solid built furniture, inimitably like an artwork, valueable soluion of a know hand work.

The magic and the exclusivity handmade product mark the fundamentality of the Radiophonographs rr226. The production of the furniture and the speaker of wood were and still are commited to craftsmen. They will never be the same or perfect, because they are hand made in Italy, but they are always wonderful and unique.

The new Brionvega Radiofonograf rr226 shows a true to original copied model of the original of 1965, but has a high developed technology, which accentuate the reproduction in a notable way.

The Brionvega rr226 Hifi-system is made in a limited version with only 300 available pieces!
