It really is amazing how well the 911's do on a variety of speakers. I still have not heard the 911 on my speakers yet so I guess I am in for a treat.
WHAT!!!???

at the end you will just have an all Burmester system (maybe speakers included) and be done .. You need a great room to put them in .. Room is the final frotier

Hi Frantz,
Yes, it will be all burmester at this point (except speakers). I traded in my stereo 911mk3 before my speakers arrived and am waiting for delivery of the mono 911's sometime next month. I am using my Dartzeel NHB-108 at the moment with my 077 preamp. It's a nice combo and I love the Dartzeel but I can't help thinking the mono 911mk3's might take it up a notch. Stay tuned
Yes, my room is the final frontier. Not ideal by a long stretch, but I still enjoy the heck out of my system.
My TAD CR-1's are NOT going anywhere. They are AWESOME!!!
Hi Jeff, are you referring to the Vitus Audio SM101 monoblocks? I'm very eager and curious as to how the Burmester 911 Mk III will compare against them. Actually the stereo SS101 would be appropriate to compare the 911 with since both retail for about the same price. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of your review of the Vitus gear and how they compare with Burmester. This is gonna be a treat!

Joe-How did you end up with your stereo in your bedroom? Do you own your own house, do you have an apartment, or do you live at home with your parents?
Hi Joe, my condolences to you. My dad passed away in December the year before last and my family and I also moved in to stay with my mom. As a result, I got a very spacious listening room

I am sorry to hear of your loss as well. It has been difficult. My listening space will hopefully be growing in the future as well. I would play music for my Dad and he really enjoyed it.
Yes, I can empathize. My dad was in a semi-coma state for 4 long years due to a hemorrhagic stroke. At least your dad got to listen to great music from a great system. I put my dad on earphones listening to mp3 stuff. But he's free from such suffering now
Sorry for going off topic, so let me get back on track. I would like to ask - is the 911 Mk III Class A or AB? Burmester seems rather secretive about it.

Wow. I am sorry. I can't imagine going through that pain.
Burmester seems almost secretive on all fronts. Unlike other manufacturers who state exactly at what point Class a goes to AB, etc. all Burmester states is that their amps "run widely in class A". I am not sure what that means but since they do not run extremely hot, they run warm actually, I believe the first few watts may be class A. After that I am not sure. I do know when I hooked up my first amp and played the first song, it was very apparent something special and different was going on.
I have not heard Spectral yet, but I want to very much.
I have not heard Vitus and Bryston 28BSST2.
ALL Burmester amplifiers are Class AB... I have had experience with 3 of them (878, 911, 911 MKIII)... The 911 MKIII bias favor Class A more so than the original... The MKIII is markedly warmer at the same volume on the same speakers ... FOr example ... I would venture it is up to 30~40 watts in class A .. then goes to Class B from there ...
Joe- sorry to hear about your father, my condolences.
I believe the official communication is "highly class A biased". Also not quite sure what that means
