Burmester 218.....

acmaier3,

Obviously then you have never heard a w8, an 870, 868 V2 or the 888's or read any of the reviews on all of them, when two $50,000 each amplifiers start buzzing and the reviewer says they still sounded great everyone knows that reviewer was full of sh t, he obviously has lost all credibility, he should have stopped the review said he was sending these two amps back and getting two others to review and see if the same thing would have happened, everyone that's read the review has agreed that that's what should have happened.

stable genius indeed!

@immatthewj you humorless troll!

(I love it )

PS: I am opening a Simaudio dealership on this bridge

the walls will be built from Burmester 911s....

After I visited those Sim dealers up in The Great White North and did the A/B comparisons, they (the Sim dealers) were saying, "Give me Burmester or give me death!"  I expect to see a lot of Sim gear going out of a lot of dealer's doors at bargain basement prices.

plaw,

I guess you haven't heard the SIM audio 861 or their other evolution amps there's nothing veiled about any of their amps, in fact they are world-class if you read any of the reviews on any of them. The 861 will leave the Burmester 218 in the dust The burmaster only has 165 watts lol The Sim 861 has 300 watts, The bass control is much better with the 861 and you can hear deeper into the sound stage It's much blocker and you can hear fine little details way in the background that you can't hear with the Burmester.

@zuesman You are correct, I have not heard the SIM Audio and have no opinion on them - nor do I really care.   The OP's topic was Burmester which is what I had experience with.  I have heard the Moon stuff (I think they are made by Simaudio) and it was nice - more of a mid-fi product to my ears.    I would take the Classe Class D stuff over Moon.
