Burmester 259
The Burmester 259 makes large-scale music feel startlingly alive, pairing explosive dynamics with the finest musical nuance. Mono & Stereo finds this amplifier notably transparent, allowing recordings’ character to emerge without an obvious sonic overlay. It is a formidable proposition for listeners who want thunderous crescendos, delicate detail, and an unusually revealing presentation.
