The Burmester B28 Classic Line floor standing speaker is engineered for critical stereo listening and high-fidelity audio reproduction in dedicated acoustic spaces. Built with a reinforced enclosure and an anodised aluminium front baffle, this three-way bass reflex loudspeaker delivers precise acoustic timing and high dynamic headroom across the entire frequency spectrum. By isolating each driver within separate interior chambers, the cabinet architecture prevents internal air pressure shifts and mechanical vibration from modulating adjacent transducers.The Hi-Fi Centre Team TakeIn a home environment, the Burmester B28 provides an expansive, non-fatiguing presentation that stays exceptionally composed whether unravelling subtle orchestral textures or handling high-energy bass lines. The Air Motion Transformer projects an airy, horizontal soundstage that remains stable without demanding a rigid, narrow seating position. Its dedicated midrange and low-end chamber design prevents cabinet resonance from colouring acoustic instruments, making extended daily listening effortless.Key Acoustic & Design Features Air Motion Transformer: Utilises an ultra-light foil diaphragm to deliver linear treble extension and broad dispersion without high-frequency fatigue. Isolated Chamber Architecture: Separates each driver and crossover housing to prevent microphonic coloration and mechanical crosstalk. Dual Long-Stroke Woofers: Operates alongside flow-optimised bass reflex ports to achieve controlled low-frequency extension down to 39 Hz. Authorised Dealer Support: Purchased through Hi-Fi Centre as an authorised dealer, ensuring full manufacturer warranty protection and specialist post-purchase care. Technical Specifications Brand: Burmester Model: B28 Classic Line Enclosure Type: 3-way bass reflex with isolated driver chambers High-Frequency Driver: Air Motion Transformer (AMT) Midrange Driver: 170 mm fibreglass cone Low-Frequency Drivers: 2 x long-stroke woofers Frequency Response: 39 Hz – 31,000 Hz Nominal Impedance: 4 Ohms Sensitivity: 87 dB (2.83V / 1m) Rated Power Handling: 180 Watts Dimensions (W x H x D): 223 mm x 1,144 mm x 433 mm Weight: 37 kg each Frequently Asked Questions What type of amplification is recommended for the Burmester B28?With a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms and a sensitivity rating of 87 dB, the B28 performs at its best when paired with high-current, stable amplification capable of delivering clean, authoritative power into lower-impedance loads. How should the B28 be positioned in a listening room?To optimise bass clarity and soundstage depth from its rear-ported bass reflex architecture, position the speakers approximately 0.5 to 1 metre away from boundary walls, with a slight toe-in towards the primary listening position. What makes the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) distinct from conventional dome tweeters?The AMT utilises a pleated, ultra-thin foil diaphragm that moves air rapidly like an accordion bellows. This design results in superior transient responsiveness, exceptionally low distortion, and broader horizontal dispersion without listener fatigue.
