Burmester 232 vs mono blocks in the same price range ange


Bought a Burmester 232 5 months back. Broken in by now. Absolutely love the signature sound. Just wondering if mono blocks in the same price range ($25K - $30K) would sound much better or the same. The Burmester was a blind purchase since I had it in my car and loved the sound. What is special about a $30K integrated amplifier in terms of audio circuitry etc?

That is all dependent on how the amp is matched to the rest of your system, your sonic preferences, your room, etc. Impossible to answer based on the information you provided. I think you live in Houston? If so, you are lucky to have some of the best high end dealers in your city. Go listen to different options-that will be way better than any advice you will get on a forum. Some might even do a home audition. Then you will know.

if you need more power you should buy a pair of 956mk2 amps, use the preamp of the 232 which is very good

I would spend around two or 3000 hours listening to my system before considering any changes. Have you spent enough time listening to even know what difference is you want in your system. Going out and buying stuff on a whim is fun, but you still have to put in the work to know what you want in the end it just doesn’t come magically.
