Burmester 911mk3 - is it right for me?
I found a killer deal on a 5 month old mint condition 911mk3 at over 40% off the European retail price, just takes a 2hr drive across the border into Germany.
I recently acquired a Weiss Medea DAC and have found I no longer use the C2300 preamp, the sound is better in all aspects when going power amp direct. I think the Medea's excellent beefy class A fully discrete analogue output stage is to thank for this. So I am seriously considering replacing the C2300 and MC402 with a 911mk3. The setup will be MacMini - Weiss Medea FW - 911mk3 - PMC EB1i. The stereo/mono flexibility of the 911 is a big plus also as I will be able to add a 2nd in the future when funds allow. Any comments on this setup? My design goal is complete accuracy and neutrality. I will not be able to audition prior to purchase so if the sound is somehow too fast/fatiguing (my worry) I will be able to sell it at minimal, if any, loss. To me looks and 'bling factor' play ZERO role in my decision, I am going purely for no-compromise sound quality and technical design. Does it sound like the burmester would be the right match for me? At this price are there other less 'flashy' brands that outperform the 911? |

Go straight with 911's...You'll be very happy and not return back anymore.

That's a great deal and you will love it. But I would definitely find a Burmester preamp next for good synergy.

THE best SS amp there is. I am also trying to purchase one, but that have to be an older version because of the not cheap prices of that beauty....

I heard once the EB1is and they had very bloated bass; I think they need an amp with a high damping factor to control them and control is Burmester's middle name.
As for your last question, check this review (the 911mk3 is also mentioned). Innerworld Audio - Audionet Amp Max Monoblocks |
