About This Device - Burmester 218 Operation Manual

About this device

The 218 power amplifier is visually and sonically oriented towards
our flagship 159 amplifier. At the same time, the Reference
Line power amplifier consistently benefits from the experience
and knowledge that Burmester has derived from four decades
of successful amplifier development. Power and elegance
are perfectly combined behind the characteristic cooling
fins. This monumental, but at the same time stylish, power
amp easily handles even the most demanding loudspeakers.
The almost inexhaustible power reserves lead to an impressive
sovereignty in music reproduction, which is supported by
an outstanding spatial resolution and musical warmth.
