I had a chance to hear the Burmesters in AZ last year. I am a BIG fan of Rowland and in my opinion, Burmester was the only amp in that league if you have hard to drive loads. The only reason I did not purchase is repair is reasonable and easy at Rowland, and I was afraid of an overseas company if repairs were ever required. I would definitely rate it above the flavor of the day d'agostino, Krells and Boulders.
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.
