    They use the same CABLING through all products! Brilliant! And BOLTED for minimum resistance. True HIFI.

    These are huge speakers, I like the frequent use of metal in their designs. While I’ve never heard the home audio lines, I’m sure their true quality and sound isn’t reflected fully in the car audio lines. In my experience the highs and mids are loud and clear but not actually detailed or smooth as others I’ve heard but still very good.

    Probably the best Audio in the world. Just these speakers are truly unreachable in terms of pure high fidelity. the price tags too for sure. The attention to detail is just touching perfection. I would say that there is no other maker like these guys despite this is a relatively young brand but sure as hell they take no prisoners. Amazing.

    I wouldn’t discount them before listening. Burmester is an amazing company and never puts something in production before making it astute and up to the highest standard. So, Munich show is where they’ll be displayed?

    Guess they never heard of the acronym "KISS". That complicated of a signal path may work to rationalize a high cost, but will never sound as good as a minimal design. Just sayin...

      Thats it. Seems many companies carry out this specific step in their manufacturing process to be certain. To them it seems there is value in it to the customer. Genuinely OEM pre-played and broken-in direct.

    $375,000 a pair and they only claim to go down to 28 hz @ -3db. Ported design? Yucko! So you need a subwoofer too if you want to hear those organ pedal notes. They weigh about 900 pounds each. Move along, move along. Nothing to see here. 😁

      Not a fan of anything other, than sealed myself, still the claimed extension, if actual, is pretty respectable and more than likely to excite any room down to below threshold of hearing. I wouldn't even try to marry a sub, considering complicated phase relationship of vented enclosures and much higher, minimum upper roll-off frequency of most commercial subs.

      @@paulb4661 as acoustic suspension speakers go the new KLH model 5 has rather mediocre bass. About the same as the original KLH model 6 and not the equal of the original KLH model 5, AR3 derivatives, or the Larger Advent. Teledyne Acoustic Research Model 9 is IMO the king of the deep.

      I was surprised too. My B&W 803D3 go down to 17 Hz (-3dB) and I added a sub recently. It makes a huge positive difference in the lower regions. Really recommend adding sub(s)
