Is Burmester 232 worth the price?


Just bought a Burmester 232 integrated amplifier for a hefty price tag. Similar priced models like Accuphase E800 are available for half off on eBay.

 

Did I make a good decision or should I have gone with Accuphase or Esoteric? Pointers are greatly appreciated. Why is Burmester considered ultra high end?

You get what you pay for.  After driving the Benz, would you buy a Lexus?

Only if you want class leading build quality, reliability and resale value.

Mercedes-Benz / Lexus... Burmeister / Mark Levinson.... completely different visions / objectives. Personally I am in the later camp. Not better, just different. 

I have a Burmester in my Porsche....as soon as I step on the gas, all high end music is lost
