Burmester 218.....

I am glad to see Burmester is being talked about on these forums, they are superb gear in my opinion.

if you haven't had the chance to hear the 218 do yourself a favor and take a listen, I started my Burmester journey with a 956mk2, upgraded to a 911mk3, upgraded to the 216 and have now settled on the 218

going up a level with each amp they all got better, more dynamics, deeper/wider soundstage better control, you name it, drastically better.  the speed and dynamics of the 218 is as good as I have heard in quite some time

just wanted to share some of my journey and joy of owning Burmester, highly recommend.

Canada is a lovely country though. Especially Québec. VIVE LE QUÉBEC LIBRE !!!

Yes it is, and now that the Canadian dealers have heard the Burmester, I am sure that they will start dropping the SIMs to make more room to carry the superior Burmesters in their beautiful country.

I had a chance to hear the Burmesters in AZ last year.  I am a BIG fan of Rowland and in my opinion, Burmester was the only amp in that league if you have hard to drive loads.   The only reason I did not purchase is repair is reasonable and easy at Rowland, and I was afraid  of an overseas company if repairs were ever required.  I would definitely rate it above the flavor of the day d'agostino, Krells and Boulders.

Reading this thread my only conclusion is that Zuesman is a tool or stool who probably works for SimAudio. I have never heard Burmester but have never heard a SimAudio that sufficed
