Uber high end audio components
Burmester Audiosysteme’s (aka Burmester Audiosystems) lineup of CES 2007 demo goodies will consist of several high-end audio/video products including multi-channel components and speakers. So dig really, really, really mega uber deep if you plan to get even one of these for your home. The new multi-channel Home Theater components will include two surround sound processors (for twice the surround sound? like, whoa, dizzying), three-, five- and six-channel power amplifiers, standard center channel speaker, sub woofer, cabinetry and interfaces for integration with home automation systems.
At the top of their list is the 007 Reference Surround Processor (SRP $39,995) which includes Dolby Digital Ex, DTS ES, DTS Neo6, and Dolby Prologic II, Burmester sample rate conversion, DC couplings (to keep signals away from capacitors), automatic overload control, tons of inputs and, of course, a remote. Also, the processor has a modular design for hardware (and software) upgrades. In case the $39,995 asking price is too steep, the less expensive 057 Top Line Surround Processor is a paired down version of the 007 and priced at only (*sigh*) $19,995.
If these are worth the price, then expect hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses after CES for injured ear drums.

I have enjoyed Burmester two channel products for years. I am particularly excited about the 057 as it does not focus on the video. My display unit has enough inputs for that. I anticipate these systems to be capable of producing enough of a musical experience that individuals will become more involved in the music at all listening levels.
