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.

ghdprentice,

The differences I heard were in the background details The background was blacker you could hear fine little details in the music way in the background that I was missing with the Burmester, The b a s s was also better with the 861, don't get me wrong it wasn't huge differences but for a $22,000 US amplifier to go up against the $50,000 US amplifier and be better is saying something about the new MDCA technology that SIM audio has developed.

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!
