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,

You're now becoming laughable so I don't even want to bother to waste my time with you anymore thanks for your incoherent babble lol

@zuesman I prefer "laughable" to being a bully. Keep punching away, if that makes your day. Bye.

How is telling someone what I heard being a bully and saying that I thought that the 861 was better than the 218? please explain that, if he doesn't like that I'm telling the truth in what I heard too bad for him and you.

@zuesman move on already, you are full of crap, I doubt you have heard the 218 and sim on same system, an now you mention the 216 in a post, again, BS, what dealer has this on display so one can hear the sim vs 216 vs 218 on same system, etc, plz let me know who you dealt with an the shop, I may wanna take a listen.

alls good tho, I just got my 2nd 218 and am thrilled, will be another week tho before I install it.

also, glad you are enjoying your sim, they do make some nice stuff. by the way, you wouldn’t be a vette owner by chance

 

ckr1969,

I guess you're dumber than you sound so I'll tell you how I heard both I took my 861 down to the dealer who sells Burmeister and I let my 861 warm up for a couple hours and then we put it up against the 218 stereo to stereo not bridged monoblock to bridged monoblock, and the background was a lot blacker with the 861 and the fine details in the background we're much clearer and more airy and spacious and also the bass was tighter faster and more articulate with the 861, and I even brought my OCC rectangular cables which are far superior to anything OFC at any price on the market to use in both systems, so I'm glad you like wasting money and spending another $50,000 on another 218 but you could have got two 861s for only $44,000 which would sound better so until you can compare both like I did stop flapping your gums because obviously you can't say anything about it because you haven't compared the two side by side like I have. and here's another one When amplifiers that cost $50,000 each start buzzing and the reviewer says it's still sounded good you know that reviewer is full of BS don't you lol, what a joke that review was and everybody that read it knows that stereophile is full of BS, they'll give you a good review on the amount of advertising that you buy from them.
