Burmester 909

Heard it driving Sonus Faber Extremas in one system .. Was replaced by a other speaker I can't recall but yes .. it is my dream amp ... If and Once I get it (not anytime soon ..) search over ...
Frantz,
I sincerely hope and wish you end up with your 909 soon. After all you live once - so better make the best of it!
Cheers

Either that guy is really strong, or that transformer doesn't weigh as much as it looks. The power transformer in my Krell KSA-250 weighs 83 lbs and somehow I don't think he would have the same grip on that transformer as he does on the transformer in the picture.
Hi Rocco, any idea what the specs are for 911 mk3 monos driven into 2 and 1 ohm loads?
Cheers
Sujay

Having had the 2x 909s mk5 in my system for 3 weeks now here are my initial impressions-----
they throw a wide soundstage, a bit warmer in sound compared to the pair of 911s i had for a trial basis.
they render beautifull toanllity with great detail extraction, without any harshness.
the bass is still bloated, and i suspect it'll take it another 100 hours or so to really tighten up.
how do they compare to the vacs?
No S/Samps in my expereince can match the tubes' mid frequencies magic, BUT, the 909s are faster,more dynamic and denser in all frquencies.
the 909s and the vacs are quite similar in the "sweet" high frquencies they portray.
