The new 216 and 218 amplifiers fill a price and quality gap in Burmester's former amp line-up. The 216, which is the successor to the Burmester 911, is claimed to offer "flagship Burmester sound" in a modern design.

Burmester's new BC150 loudspeaker was first shown at AXPONA. Because I was dazed by the heat, it's best to rely on Ken Micallef's AXPONA show report on the" three-way, bass reflex BC150 loudspeakers ($150,000/pair) [that have a] specified sensitivity of 88.5dB/2.83V/m and impedance of 3 ohms. The BC150 includes two Air-Motion-Transformer (AMT) tweeters, a side-firing 12.5" woofer, and a 7" fiber-cone midrange unit with an oval-shaped voice-coil, which is said to 'significantly increase the dimensional stability of the lightweight membrane.' "The very lowest frequencies are delivered via the flow-optimized, carbon-fiber bass reflex port," stated the publicity materials."

Finally, the company introduced its 217 turntable. On music by Dominique Fils-Aimé and Mickey Hart, the system delivered impressive bass and beguiling sound.
