Burmester 911 mk3

My Opinions exactly ! + 1

And for what it is worth. I am not sure I heard the Burmester "romantic mist" in any all Burmester combination and I have heard several all Burmester combo .. mine was all Burmester from source to amp ... Clear , precise and the contrary of what one would call "romantic' ... I am not sure a tube would help in the chain as a matter of fact but different strokes and all that ...

Because when I took out the 089 and another time the 069 and put in the Concert Fidelity and Wadia, my resolution and transparency (along with greater mid bass slam) went up. I have kept my 911 MK3 though! :)

With all due respect to Burmester, I will keep my Venture speakers.

Nobody said that you've to replace your Venture's with Burmester's. Venture speakers are great speakers too, but for my experience Burmester delivers the 100% performance when the chain is all Burmester, speakers included.

The Burmester sound is very linear and perfectly balanced. In the live music the mid-bass can't cover other frequencies, but maintaining the perfect linearity and balance.

Yes, if that is the sound which you seek. But, not my cup of tea, and with good reason on my part. We are after the same thing, just going about it in a personal way, which is great.

Perfectly balanced? Hardly. Too me, Burmester does sound like live music, but in a conert type setting. I prefer live music, but in a studio, if that makes any sense. I love concerts, don't get me wrong. But, I really enjoy the precision of a studio recording. I get that with my current system. I can hear more into the recording, the notes are sharper and have more decay when I took out my 089 (or 069) and put in my Concert Fidelity/ Wadia. The best quote I have ever heard regarding Burmester is one feels like smoking a cigarette afterwards.

I fully respect your opinion, but knowing very well the Wadia's sound I'm completely disagree with yours ;). But that 's my opinion.

This is what makes this hobby so wonderful and special. Also, the Great Northern Sound Company Statement mods takes the Wadia S7i to another higher level, on par with a stock 4 piece 9 series.
 
---I love the Burmester loudspeaker's designs and build quality,
in particular their larger designs.

Now, how come there aren't many reviews of them? ...Geographic reasons? Import duty fees?

Also, what genres of music are the true audiophiles' listening people into in Germany?
...Techno? Extra Heavy-Metal? Classical Alternative? Slave Punk? Acid Jazz? Or what?

* Three ex-girlfriends (German) were into Heavy Metal (Gabriela), Classical Flute & Piano (Rosita), and Alternative (Page).

---- Thank you! :b
 
Guys, I just happened to hook up my 2nd 911 into my all burmester rig! It's been warming up for 2 days now.......and I am delighted to report that the system has completely disappeared,leaving the music behind!!!

It's actually stupefyingly ludicrous. I hadn't experienced anything close to this before. I wonder what the full ref system will be like......

By the way, I get this feeling that it will get even better after settling down a bit. Right now I am in bliss


Cheers

Nice one!!! Enjoy! and please keep posting as it burns in! What are the differences between 1 911 and 2? If you can, would be interesting to read specifically your observations in your system.

Hi Sujay,

So is everything all right :D You sound a little delirious. I am glad you are happy. Two 911's are pretty sweet, huh! Enjoy. They will get better if you seem a little worried. Ha!

I am very happy for you, but my speakers completely disappear also with only one 911 mk3.
 
Jim,

Please be careful and don't trip over the amp or bump into the speakers. :)

LOL, thanks I try not to with a nice glass of Napa Valley cab. in one hand. :)

Did you biamp or mono amp your system when you listened?
I'm extremely happy for you, Sujay.
