Brumeister 061 performance

Dear Studio
Tks for your reply.  High end gear usually cost much even it's mid level gear.  The important thing is the match issue.  The boss is an experienced Audiophile who is good at selling top end gear to the enterprise owners or Dr. I always visit his shop and listen to what's his new settings. He said the sound of Brumeister sound is clear, transparency, details, would be capable of making a good combination with my power Amplifier. The Accuphase A47. A type with warm and not so fast response. Both combo would have synergy in sound reproduction.  Also, he promises to lend the grar for me to do home listen for comparison. The only problem now is the $.  I find the one 2nd on international markets costs only US$6000  which is 2000 cheaper. The only difference is the one from the shop is sell through formal distbuter, you will be able to find the fix place once needed.

Dear Studio,

 

Tks for your reply on the subject in which the products are rare to be comment in the web or SNS. Maybe the high price is the issue. Eventually, unless you have sensitive ears and love music a lot with budget to spend, or the Brumester won’t be in the list.

 

As I mentioned that I am familiar with the boss of the audio shop, generally he always demo the top end of the Brumester in the shop except the speaker. He told me that he is the most capable Brumester dealer in Taipei for his sales capability.

 

The system in the shop is 077 pre and the 001 CD player and the speaker is B & W 802 D2, when the they warm up, the sound produced very like analogue tastes. The boss is good in sound tuning. He can persuade his former customers to upgrade their former audio gear to a more high end one. Of course, the customers must be able to afford for even the trade in gear are quite high to salary man’s wallet.

 

If the 061 CD hasn’t been sold after a 1~2 months, I might have opportunity to ask a

Test listening with my system, if it sound right with my combo, I will have interest to buy one and write my listening experience for sharing. Tks. For your patience.

Dear Alexatpos,

Thank you for your kind share of your wonderful experience.
In our country, audio equip. needed to paid import duty and commodity tax + VAT 5%. In addition, the electronic gears has to do EMC exam which would cost importer extra burden while the people who likes to enjoy the audio is getting less and less now. That is why the audio selling price is almost 30% higher than those in EU or U.S.A. even the EU also has high VAT tax.  Taiwan is a small  volume market for those high end gears especially when the price is soaring so high vs. our income. 

Unless you purchase the products from the authorized importer, your products won't get fixed by the distributor.  But there are still consumers try to buy from the private route in the audiogon or hi-fi mart...etc. with some what cheaper price with the risk of service problem. 

Burmester 061 is pretty good gear, but it;s price is  still only affordable by the high income consumers such as business owner or Dr.  for it's selling price is US$ 12,000 for the new one. But even we try to find the 2nd hand one, the price is still awesome for general salary man.  

That is why I am so cautious to  hand in inquiries for how about it's performance and the C/P value over here to prevent making mistake 
decision. 

Thank you all for your kind reply.

Dear Alexatpos,

Tks for your kind reply. 

I checked the link in your response and use the translation to view the web link.
I found that the review is highly rated the 061 which in your comment there are other superior ones. Of course, one grade up costs more expense and give you different sound which is fair.  

Being a Salary man, what I can afford is a 2nd gear in such kind of grade product with reasonable price.  What I am concerning now is the C/P value instead of best possible reproduction.  You know some times, the higher price may not sound better for it is important for the combination of the audio gears. That is the fun of the audiophiles.

Thank you again for your valuable opinion.

Dear Alexatpos,

Tks for your kind response.

I won’t purchase a gear without listening with my current components esp. such kind of high priced gear.

In our 2nd audio shop in Taiwan, you can make the full payment of the selling price for the gear, and if you are not satisfied, you can return it to the seller with the cost about US$ 50 to 70 depends on the equip. price. The test listening is 3 days in general, but you can negotiate for a slightly longer period with a higher fee depends on your negotiation with the shop owner.

Also, if you are not satisfied, you can return the gear with 10% discount within 3 months. Or 20% discount within one year.

MBL should be pair with the Burmester in the same grade.
But the 2nd hand 6010C is selling around US$8,000 while the Burmester 88 is selling at US$16,000 for the 2nd hand one.

The 2nd hand shop have no desire to buy back the Burmester for it’s
high price even can buy a new one in EU market.

As the concern about the 2nd hand or non-distributor gear, the 2nd hand can find some former expert (such as the technician work for the brand but retired).

The only problem might be the parts which unable to find one.

Just for your ref.
