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.

grislybutter,

so I shouldn't answer GHDPrentice When he asked the question what differences did I hear? if you don't like what I say you don't have to read it and you don't have to come on this forum do you?

@zuesman you need to grow up, you like sim, ww get it, enjoy it but crapping on threads is childish, but whatever floats your boat

Two 218s and both buzzing according to the stereophile review. That would piss me off. If yours works fine and you love the sound, enjoy it!

ckr1969,

I think you're the one that needs to grow up, I was just stating what I heard and the differences if you don't like that because you own Burmester too bad and the Stereophile review was a joke obviously Burmester bought a lot of advertising from them when two super expensive amplifiers start buzzing and he still said it sounds good you're full of crap and you should go on some of the other forums and see what people are saying about that review it was a joke and everybody said it when two amplifiers start buzzing you shouldn't be continuing the review you should send them back and get another pair and if it does the same thing then you know that there's a problem with the quality control and the manufacturing.

audphile1,

Don't you think that the reviewer should have stopped the review and sent the amplifiers back and got a second pair to see if they would be doing the same thing? saying that the amplifier still sounded great and you got audible buzzing? how can an amplifier sound great when you got buzzing going? that would drive me crazy.
