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.

ckr1969,

if I wanted to buy a $50,000 or $70,000 amp that would be no problem I have the money in the bank I'm just not stupid enough to waste that kind of money When a $29,000 amp with newer technology sounds better or maybe if you heard it just as good so why would I spend 50 or 70,000 when I can get the same sound quality with 29,000?

Burmester is not a superior product over Sim end of story you haven't heard the 861 and compared the two so again you're saying stupid things, I have and if you don't want to believe that I have so be it I really don't care, I've heard both so I can make the comment you obviously make stupid comments without comparing the two so again Burmester is not superior to Sim it's just way overpriced and if you're stupid enough to overpay that's your business lol, and their speakers are definitely not better than the monitor audio platinum way over price again though.
 

 Well now that you underlined it I’m convinced!

@zuesman well I bit on it, I just called hifi centre in Vancouver, asked if they had a 216 or 218 on display/demo, guess what, they have sold a few but have never displayed them, special order only, fairytale over, you are an f'n liar.

an before you call BS on me, anyone can call them, they answered on 2nd ring and our convo lasted about 45 seconds, oh, im sure you dealt with the "other" Burmester dealer that's not listed on the Burmester site but has there products, get a life, now im officially done, I would be surprised if you even have a sim 861 and monitor audio speakers
