Krell Evo 302 or Burmester 956 mk2


I am using Krell amp with Burmester 011 preamp and 001 cd player. I wonder if the amp from Burmester would be a better match than the Krell. However, have no chance to try Burmester or compare it in any way. Would appreciate to hear an opinion from someone who has actually heard or compared both amps. Thank you

You have to listen first a Burmester power amp and until now
for what you wrote seems that you never experienced yet. So,
what we're talking about? I know all the Krell line nearly
and listen in controlled manner all their products and at my
ears are just good. Every few years an entire new line of
products by Krell are released and the previous are already
over. I invite you to listen a Burmester first and then
judje.
Burmester is Burmester and the difference with Krell and and
any audio product in the market is huge for the German's for
a lot of reasons: sound, reliability, build quality, design,
craftsmanship, state of the art equipments. Yet Burmester’s
products withstand the test of time. You simply cannot sense
the age of these carefully crafted designs. In fact, this is
one of the classic trademarks of Burmester products. Like
other luxury goods, such as Rolex or Patek Philippe watches,
Chanel or Hermes leather goods, Burmester products share
similar characteristics as these luxury goods are uniquely
different from other products in the industry. Burmester
positions all its products as audio jewelry. Unlike other
home stereo products, Burmester does not fall into the
vicious cycle of yearly or bi-yearly product releases.
Burmester focuses on bringing products to the market with
the best craftsmanship, quality and design, to last a
lifetime rather than focusing on pushing out new products
every year to entice user to upgrade. This also results in
exceptionally high retaining values of their products,
similar to other luxury goods.
HR1, that is your opinion, are you a german?, them guys always believe what they make is better than the U.S.A. makes, That's why they lost w.w.two!, an example as to why you are wrong is the now Obsolete Krell KPS 25sc, Burmester, Really?, get out of here with that noise!, Burmester has never made anything to the quality of that krell piece alone, hey, and what about the Krell Master refference mono blocks, you got to be kidding right?, seems you really do NOT know anything about krell with a claim that you made!
Audiolabyrinth I repeat again you don't know what you're
saying. I am not german but I am a guy that know the hystory
and the present of hiend audio. Burmester is considered one
of the absolute best audio brand from usa magazine, like
stereophile, tas, toneaudio, ecc. Any burmester components
is far superior to any krell. Any Burmester component is art
for the ears and the eyes. That's the true. You've mentioned
the kps 25c. Do you know the combo 969-970 or 001? I refer
to these models only because playing in the same period of
Krell, because now there is the reference 069's that is
sonically a world apart. Listen and then refer. Burmester
docet.
HR1, really, The op said the krell EVO 302 was better to him than the Burmester amp he auditioned!, Burmester is over priced Euro equipment!, there is no such a thing as best period!, Rather preference to the end user, you sound as if you are a dealer?, I tell you what, I will put my modded brand new krell 700cx amp against any Burmester stereo amp in front of a panel of judges blind folded and wipe the Burmester off the face of the Earth with sound quality my friend!, now you have no idea what is inside my amp that is not stock!

No make our discussion as personal dispute. First you said
if I'm a German and now you're supposing if I'm a delear.
Sorry but you're off road at all. As you're judging
something that you never experienced in listening and for
what/way you're reporting you seem that you're a Krell Fan.
Very difficult to talk with a Fun. For your kind reference,
I'm a music lover first and then I like very much the gears
that reproduce a very good sound quality near to live event.
For me Burmester and few gears more reach the heaven. As I
told you already I know krell amps/components since long
time. They're well known for their ability to drive any
complex load and to sound very loud, but their musicality
and overall sound quality is not at same level. Enjoy your
modded krell 700cx and please report if you'll listen a
Burmester gear.
