Anyone else here own Burmester electronics/speakers?

I personally have a 911 mk3 power amp and a 948 power conditioner. Huge fan of the line!

Hi Joost,

I traded in my 911mk3 stereo amp and I am waiting for my factory mono 911mk3's to arrive. Awesome gear. :)

Hi

I have been a Burmester fan for a long time (early 90s) . My last system was all Burmester electronics (Preamp, amp, DAC, Transport, Phono Stage) . They remain IME among the best gear one can purchase. The whole line up is excellent well built and to last. When you buy in Burmester it is for the long runThe 911 was originally designed in 1991.... 21 years ago, . Service is exemplary and reliability stunning. They simply work and work under conditions that would destroy most other gears ...
the 911 MKIII mono, I haven't heard. I know you can easily bridge the 911 but I don't know what the monos are about... I am rebuilding my speakers based system and likely it will be mostly Burmester ... As for amps I have a monster non_Burmester in my sight depends on the speakers I will ultimately get ... else back to the 911 MKIII ... I am thinking every day that I should get an 808MK V (originally designed in 1980 !!!) and be done with preamps for the next 20 years :)

For those who would like to audition Burmester gear [myself included], where might be some locations in the US to do so? I do not see any US distributors listed on their main website.

I can post a dealers name if that's OK. Please feel free to edit if necessary.

Cool. Thank you. It always seem a little tough getting timely info from Burmester. The dealers are invaluable in this regard.

AT one point Lyric Audio NY carried Burmester then it was Sound By Singer before it went down ... Presently I don't know who carries them in NY ...

Best thing to do would be to contact Robb Niemann - CEO, Burmester N.A. e-m-a-i-l: r o b b ( a t ) b u r m e s t e r ( d o t ) c a

If any members are in the Pacific Northwest around May 5th, I will be showing the Genesis Dragons with the full Burmester stack at the "Dragon Burn-in Party". I might even have 909's to use :)

Can your owners please share your knowledge of XLR cables that you use with your Burmester system? Thank you
