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.

ckr1969,

It's hard for me to believe that both amos would have been damaged in the same way to cause both to be buzzing that's more of a quality control issue, I majored in electronics in trade school and I was a CATV technician in case you don't know what CATV is it's cable television and I think you should reread the review again because the reviewer said at times the buzzing was quite noticeable, how is that a superb sounding amp? that would be extremely annoying trying to listen to music with buzzing coming through the speakers are you really that stupid to try and convince yourself that the amps sounded good when there was buzzing going on in them? are you really that stupid? Good luck trying to get them serviced if yours start buzzing, I wonder how long you'll be waiting to get them back when they have to go back to Germany to be serviced.LOL

And SIM audio is even a bigger hell of a company they service 65 countries around the world and have 57 dealers in North America, and they are huge in Asia a lot bigger than Burmester.

Burmester has nine dealers in the United States hahaha, SIM audio has 57 dealers which is more popular lol

@zuesman give it a rest, u have the best amp every built, most reliable by far, best company as well, bravo, Sim has never had an issue with any products, that's amazing and im glad you are so technical being a CATV guy, impressivesurprise

im sure its a giant killer, it has taken down Burmester, now search for ch precision, solution, angostino, gryphon, etc etc and disrupt there conversations with this same story

ckr1969,

I never said that Simaudio has never had any issues did I I'm sure with as many amps that they have built over the years there's someone out there that's had a problem but having a 10-year warranty is sure nice as opposed to only 2 years, you think a company that charges $50,000 for an amplifier would give a 10-year warranty and stand behind their product better.
