Unknown condition makes the price hard to benchmark precisely, but £200 is an outright bargain against the comparable-listing data: it sits far below the £1,296 25th-percentile figure and £6,729 median. The “clone” wording matters, though—it is not an original Burmester 933, so don’t value it as one; still, the asking price leaves considerable room for a worthwhile purchase if it is a complete, working unit.
These amplifiers are generally attractive for their straightforward Class A/B design, strong current delivery and useful power—roughly 120W per channel is typical—making them a sensible match for demanding passive speakers. Before committing, confirm 230V operation, both channels produce clean output, there is no transformer hum or excessive heat, and that the casework, terminals and mains lead are intact. If it passes those checks, this is a genuine low-risk punt at £200 rather than merely a fair price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Burmester Audiosysteme traces its roots to Berlin, Germany, where engineer and musician Dieter Burmester founded the company in 1977, formally registering it as a GmbH the following year. Born from his frustration with a faulty preamplifier, Burmester repurposed medical electronics into the iconic 777 amplifier—named for its July 1977 debut—launching a legacy of precision engineering and unyielding quality standards. Handcrafted in Berlin ever since, the brand embodies Dieter's vision of technical innovation without compromise, even after his passing.
The company specializes in luxury high-end audio components, including preamplifiers, power amplifiers, integrated and multi-channel amps, CD players, D/A converters, phono preamps, surround processors, FM tuners, speakers, power conditioners, and accessories. Burmester also excels in turntables and cables, but its hallmark is fully DC-coupled designs and symmetrical balanced topology, first pioneered in the 838 phono preamp, delivering noise-free, distortion-minimal sound.
Positioned at the pinnacle of the high-end market, Burmester commands a global reputation for uncompromising musicality, timeless design, and bespoke craftsmanship, often rivaling or exceeding competitors in clarity and dynamics. Its prestige extends to automotive partnerships since 2002, powering elite systems in Bugatti Veyron, Porsche Panamera and Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz, and Ferrari models—proving hi-fi perfection transcends the home.
