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?

@soix also, I got the upgraded tubes for a little extra. I assume this was a good move?

According to Perplexity, the upgraded 6 sn7 tubes are better than the stock 12sn7 if you prefer a warmer sound

Everyone I’ve seen who upgraded to the better tubes was very happy so think you made the right choice there.

@soix  And now, onto the last piece of the puzzle. Can you tell me a good speaker cable brand for my 232 so I can complete the setup. Thanks.
