The German Show - Antwerp Nov '17
Last weekend, I went to hear the Elac Adante series.
Sammy, from Alpha High End, added yet another line to his already impressive list. Sorry, only iPhone pics this time. My audiophile wife did'n accompany me. The floorstanders: Cabling: Audioquest. Power: Audioquest:

It wouldn't be a German Show without electronics from that country!
The Burmester 911:

I had no idea about the retail price of these beautifully finished floorstanders.
Without prejudice, I estimated them in the 12-18K category. Very coherent image, quite deep and tight bass. Not the last word in bringing out every minute detail, but still doing a very good job in that respect. Sammy told me then they cost 6K. Of course, the Reference and Top Line Burmester products helped a bit here. But for me, this speaker is worthy of (very) high quality upstream gear. These Elacs will compete with speakers that cost double to triple in my opinion.

Going to the next room then.
On my way there some impressions. Sammy always had a lot of headphones, but I see his collection is growing. Audeze? Check! Sennheiser? Check! Focal? Check! Sonus Faber? Check! And so many more. This is only one of the many display cases:

Thank you Flemming.
But to make a comparison: mine are Bose, my wife's are Burmester.
