New products from Burmester at the 2017 Munich Hogh-end show

Date: 2017-06-23

It was an almost sacred moment when Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Girl From Ipanema" – of course the famous Verve original from 1963 with Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto – was played in the Burmester room. The unpretentious, but mind-blowing, presentation of the familiar piece created an unprecedented spell, the music completely integrated and softly flowing, but still concentrated and controlled to deliver real goosebumps.

Two novelties from the Berlin company were involved in the experience: one of them, the tremendous BC350 loudspeakers, was immediately apparent when walking into the room; to other was hidden, ready to be revealed. Surprise! The company’s first-ever record player, the "175", is part of its top-flight "Reference Line" and comes with an aluminum base, MC cartridge and the phono equalizer/preamp from the Phono-Pre 100, allowing it be connected directly to a line-level input.

The BC 350's 32cm bass drivers breathe through double-walled porcelain ports made by KPM produces, and the record player offers a four-motor drive for perfect synchronization. Together they create fascinating high-end superlatives for the ultimate listening experience.
