Is Burmester 232 worth the price?

The manual will have the break in period.but in general many amps new sound better the longer you play them . Sometimes >100 hours.best of luck enjoy because you have a nice amp.

@mark200mph thank you. Most companies don't mail  manuals now but I will try the web.

From my perspective, you have purchased one of the best sounding integrated amps on the market that is also an industrial engineering masterpiece from its build quality and aesthetics.  I have the previous model, the 032.  I previously had Krell separates.  My Krell dealer gave me the preowned 032 he had on consignment as a loaner when he was recapping the Krells.  He never got the 032 back and we worked out a deal. Since then, I compared the Burmester to integrated amps from Accuphase, Gryphon, Solution, Krell, and Audionet, as well as the tube based ARC.  My preference was the Audionet Humboldt, doing everything the Burmester did to a greater extent, but alas ‘twas way out of budget.  I chose Burmester for its exceptional clarity, timbral accuracy, detail, transient speed, and dynamic (micro and macro) response while maintaining tube like dimensionality, image density, sweet treble and midrange bloom.  The midrange bloom champ was the ARC, but it did not touch my soul the way the Burmester did.  The Accuphase you mention is a different pallet.  There is a colored sound that some like, that in my opinion homogenizes the sound of different recordings and timbral differences between instruments.  However, you need to determine if the Burmester sound pallet is to your taste, and whether you per the Accuphase pallet better.  There is no right or wrong.  It what sounds right to you. 

@jsalerno277 well said. You have a wonderful system. I'm not surprised. I'm a Kentuckian living in the middle of bourbon country and can see that your taste in brown liquor is impeccable. That obviously applies to your taste in hifi gear as well. 

I highly doubt you’ll be unhappy with the 232, although given you said you prefer a warmer sound I might have pointed you toward Gryphon or Vitus but I’m sure the Burmester will sound fantastic.  My bigger concern is with your speakers that are decidedly not warm sounding speakers but may still sound great with the 232.  What amp are you using now, and what are your source components, cables and interconnects?  And by all means give the amp around 200 hours of playing time before making any firm conclusions.
