Burmester 218.....

ckr1969,

I told you where the dealer was in Canada where I live why should I make it easy for you Go phone every dealer in Canada and then you'll finally hit the right one which I was at and then you'll find out so knock yourself out you'll hit the right one eventually there's only a few in Canada not that many lol.

@zuesman again, dodge the question, why did you feel the need to drag your magnificent amp to a dealer and audition for hours, simple question, that amp is new to the market, legit question

Well if I have the amp already in my house why shouldn't I take it to the store to compare? and don't you think that's my choice to do what I want? and why would I put a deposit on something that I don't want to buy that doesn't even make sense so to me it made more sense to take the amp that I own which is the 861 and compare it to the Burmeister It's too bad that you overpaid for an amp that unfortunately is not as good and even if you compare them and you thought the 218 was better it's only going to be incrementally better in your eyes so it's not worth double the money to get that little improvement that you think you will have and again I will say this any $50,000 amplifier not one but two that buzzes during the review you can't say much on the quality control for that company can you? and the reviewer saying that it's still sounded good with that kind of an audible buzz everybody that read that on the forums was laughing at that reviewer, we know that stereophile has no credibility anymore, you get a great review based on how much money you spend on advertising with them.

@zuesman LOL, no intention to buy, you just wanted to compare, not much of a life there buddy and wasting a salesman time and energy, but again, we both know this is a fairytale, enjoy your amp and have a nice weekend, im off to my dealer, gonna compare my Burmester to there amps to convince myself I made the right decision

like I said phone every dealer in Canada and you'll hit the right one and you'll see that you're the one that's in the fairytale and what I do with my time is up to me and if I want to go compare my amp to another one that's up to me as well I just wanted to prove that a $29,000 Canadian amp is better than a $50,000 and a $70,000 amp made in Germany which I did, so you're the one that's a fool wasting $100,000 on 2 amps that aren't as good and like I said before even if you think they're better they're going to be so incrementally better that it's not worth double the money like the saying goes the law of diminishing returns. my system is no slouch It's worth $85,000, and if you bother to do any research you will find out that the rectangular OCC single crystal wire is far superior to anything OFC like companies like transparent charge $70,000 for you got to be an absolute idiot to spend that much money on a piece of wire lol.
