Offered is „218“ by Burmester as new device from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4780502710 ends on 30.10.2026 at 13:46 o'clock.
At €34,800 against a recent used median of €34,437, this is basically fair rather than cheap, and it sits just above the top of the middle band for comparable listings. It is not a bargain versus the 25th percentile at €29,383, but it is also not meaningfully ambitious versus the 75th percentile at €34,707.
That still makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean, complete, and genuinely well-kept, because this model has a strong reputation for refined build quality, low-noise operation, and the sort of presentation that tends to age well in a serious system. The upside is in finding a well-preserved example with original packaging or documentation, since those details matter more here than a small gap to market.

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.
