The Story
The Burmester 259 is a Stereo power amplifier that is also available in a dedicated Mono version. Designed for use in high-performance audio systems, it provides lossless and precise amplification of the input signal, regardless of speaker load, level requirements or dynamic range. Its transparency-focused circuit design results in an exceptionally low noise level. Impressive power reserves and an extremely high damping factor ensure stable and controlled speaker drive when needed.
*priced as single unit
OVERVIEW
Recognizable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 259 power amplifier makes use of characteristic design elements of the Reference Line.
Above all, the value of the 259 lies in the consistency of its internal construction. Massive copper rails and a clearly structured architecture provide the foundation for thermal stability and electrical reliability. Here, sonic excellence is achieved through substance, precision and visionary engineering. The deliberately restrained external appearance continues the clarity inside in a logical manner. Technology and design share a foundation to create an unparalleled aesthetic and emotional experience.
FEATURES
- Ultimate transparency through minimised noise level below the hearing threshold – with improved linearity and significantly reduced distortion for maximum detail resolution and spatial depth
- Increased impulse power for sovereign dynamics – effortless handling of even the most demanding speakers without compression or harshness
- Extremely high damping factor – precise speaker control for defined, fast, and stable bass
- Holistic, fully passive thermal concept – constant operating temperatures for long-term stability and consistently uncompromising performance
- Stereo or dedicated mono operation – system-precise flexibility, additional power reserves, and maximum channel separation
- Timeless traditional design language – clear shapes beyond classic hi-fi optics, with chrome finish and distinctive functional heat sinks
- Elegant and direct – intuitive operating concept with pressure-sensitive power switch
