The following model, the Stereomeister 300 has a transistor FM converter, whereas in the immediately following models the FM valve converter stage has been reinserted.
This device is therefore remarkable both for its wonderful aesthetics designed by Grundig in those years and for the extremely modern features only to be found in later models.

The final stage is a class AB Push-Pull with a feedback circuit for response linearization and distortion decrease.
The response is indeed generally balanced and with a powerful push on bass regardless its small output transformers.
By employing efficient diffusers the power is more than appropriate even if you want to play the in big spaces.

I personally recommed to play this device at 3/5 of its maximum volume.
The response curve changes according to the position of the potentiometer that controls and corrects the volume.
The shift from the section with volume correction to the one with no correction is fairly audible, that is the reason why it is preferable to maintain the volume under the said limit.
No need to say that if you want to take full advantage of the power of this device ... you can turn the volume knob as much as you want.

Following Grundig’s tradition, the radio section is extremely stable, sensitive and free from ground noises.
Even the final stage is silent and buzzless.

Sound high quality, the stereo decoder and the absence of inner loudspeaker (giving the device a rather modern shape) make of this device a great collector’s piece.

After the Stereomeister series Grundig as well as other big german brands started to save on and “optimize” their projects and unfortunately their quality began to decrease and “more modern” quality criteria started to take over.

This device is one of the rare and few Grundig Hi-Fi tube stereophonic receivers
