I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and this Burmester 956 Mk II Stereo Power Amplifier is being listed as a consignment sale on behalf of my client for whom I am selling his entire system. He is the sole owner and purchased this unit brand new in 2025. It is in near mint condition and perfect working order.

It comes with the owner’s manual. The unit will ship in its original box.

The Burmester 956 Mk II is a direct descendant of the legendary 909, and it shows. It delivers serious current with an effortlessness that makes even difficult speaker loads feel like a non-issue — powerful yet composed, dynamic yet musically refined. The spatial resolution is stunning, and there’s a warmth and richness to the presentation that is unmistakably Burmester. The build quality speaks for itself — those iconic finned heat sinks aren’t just beautiful, they’re functional, and the whole package radiates permanence from every angle.

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes free insured shipping across the CONUS. As this is a passthrough sale that I am brokering on behalf of my client, I can only accept payments via PayPal F&F, Venmo Gift, or personal check, but this also gives you the opportunity to attain this at my lowest possible price.

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

More about the unit: The Burmester 956 Mk II is a fully balanced, DC-coupled stereo power amplifier that extends the lineage of Burmester’s internationally acclaimed 909 and 911 Reference amplifiers into the company’s Classic Line — bringing that same uncompromising signal integrity to a broader audience without a single concession in engineering principle. Like its bigger siblings, the 956 Mk II eliminates all distortion-inducing capacitors from the signal path entirely, with Class A amplification stages and a consistently balanced circuit topology that ensure precise, timbre-rich reproduction at any volume and through the most demanding musical passages. Internal wiring consists of 10mm high-purity copper connecting the output stages to the speaker binding posts, ensuring the amplifier’s substantial current reserves reach the loudspeakers without loss — delivering airy sound images and commanding dynamics even from speakers with low impedances and complex loads. An unusually high damping factor paired with an extremely short rise time means the 956 Mk II combines raw power with exceptional musical timing, never sacrificing finesse for force. The amplifier can also be bridged into mono operation via external adapters or configured for bi-amping, offering flexible system-building options as a collection evolves.

Every unit is handcrafted and assembled at Burmester’s Berlin factory, where it undergoes the same rigorous quality control applied across all Burmester home audio products. Up to 300 computer-aided measurements are performed before and after a one-week burn-in period, with all test protocols archived — not only to ensure each amplifier matches the reference prototype, but to enable restoration to original specifications if ever needed and to serve as a baseline for future upgrades that incorporate advances in development. The result is unmistakable — those signature finned heat sinks that Dieter Burmester originally designed for his reference amplifiers, married to the Classic Line’s chrome-accented aesthetic, creating a power amplifier that looks and feels every bit as serious as it sounds.
