Outstanding quality and unbelievably fast data-processing best describe the 151 MK2 Musiccenter. As part of Burmester’s Top Line, this high-end multi talent administers your music library, connects you to Internet radio or plays music directly from a USB stick.

151 MK2 Musiccenter
The 151 Musiccenter is the ‘little brother’ of the Reference Line 111 Musiccenter and functions as a high-end music server. As with the reference product 111, it combines outstanding sonic characteristics with extraordinarily fast processing of even significant amounts of data.

The 151 Musiccenter can be operated with a fixed output level into an existing system using a preamplifier, or alternatively using its variable output section and connected directly into power amplifiers or active loudspeakers.

In addition to the knowledge gained from the development of the Reference Line 111 Musiccenter – and our experience since its launch – ideas, requests and suggestions from our customers in particular have been taken into account in order to develop a device that guarantees the highest level of acceptance and customer satisfaction.

With attention to detail.
Recognisable as a typical Burmester even from the very first glance, the 151 MK2 Musiccenter makes use of characteristic design elements of the Top Line.

Design
The design of this product highlight incorporates the timeless design language familiar from Burmester devices through its clean lines and characteristic chrome front. Thus, the 151 Musiccenter perfectly fits into the ranks of Burmester components both sonically and visually.

Handmade
Moving into the era of digital music reproduction Burmester still relies heavily on the care and quality of hand assembly in the production of the new music servers 111 and 151. Because Burmester believes that only with the combination of cutting-edge technology, carefully selected top-quality parts and the traditional values of craftsmanship can the goal of absolute sound be achieved.

After several attempts I finally managed to get reset the pre-amp configuration as I wanted. The adjusted is buried in a vert unlikely location of the setup menu. Denon does a poor job writing their owners manual. Finally got the system running yesterday.

It was a gift to my brother. He says there are no cable or cords to connect it.

Great imaging and clarity. A bit heavy on bass but not excessive -was able to "tune" with the level controls.

Hearing things I never heard before! Awesome sound and clarity…..

Fast customer service. Mounted the speakers under the roof overhang of sun room facing my pool.sound fills the pool deck area, sound great, and have great power. Would buy again

Safe and Sound was right this table is beautiful once out of the box

It just what I expected, I'm just enjoying all the sounds from the "Music "

Thank you Safe and Sound for the attention to detail with my order! My speàkers were securely packaged for shipping and arrived in perfect condition! Outstanding service!

These are my favorite Klipsch bookshelf speakers, this is my third pair to purchase

The power conditioner is working great and i am very happy with it.

Great recommendation. Great equipment.

I love being able to give my Forte IVs a completely different vintage look by easily swapping my grill sets out.

Showed up literally the next day, and would have never known that it was an open box. This is the 2nd time I have purchased a large ticket item from them and the 2nd time they have absolutely impressed.

Fantastic!! They sound great!!

Well built and generally sound design. Two flaws (one apparent and one potential); transport appears clunky and flimsy and although it shows in its photos having power meters, there are no obvious ways to access that feature as there is no manual and the online manual doesn’t discuss it. Lastly, I seem to keep having drop outs with Apple Music streaming. Not sure if it is the Apple App, the wifi or BT reception.

Significant step up from the 2M Blue. Very happy with this purchase.

Actually heavier than it looks, which suggests some real components inside. Setup was super easy. The sound through my Rotel RC10670 and RB1070 feeding B&W 805 S speakers and HSU subwoofer is great. Dead silent when there’s no music. VeryAccurate sound.

Very impressive and easy to use. Great for streaming music!

The cables are settling in and sounding great.
By chance do you have a Martin Logan Stage X inventory or know where I can get one?

sounds great - color isn't excactly what I saw online
