Burmester Audiosysteme
Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH, commonly referred to as Burmester, is a German manufacturer of high-end audio components. The company is based in Berlin-Schöneberg and was founded in 1977 by an Austrian-born musician and engineer Dieter Burmester (1946–2015). History Burmester Audiosysteme got its beginning in 1977.

The 777 is still the core element of Burmester's products and model of the type designation of the following components (composed of the year 77 and the month number 7). ...
