Examining the bottom of the unit, I discovered thin felt pads rather than dedicated footers. Since I hadn’t yet received a link to an online manual or conducted technical interviews, I checked with Norm Steinke, Burmester’s US sales manager, to see if he objected to me trying aftermarket supports. Once he gave the okay, it took all of 15 minutes to learn how much better the unit sounded when supported by Wilson Pedestals. “Dramatically quieter backgrounds,” I scribbled in my characteristically hideous handwriting. “A HUGE improvement. Everything seems louder because it stands out more against a blacker background.” Bass was strong and excellent from the get-go, but now it sounded even more controlled. I urge prospective owners to explore different support options and to use whatever works best for their sound and wallet.
