Post Subject: I remember the BerningPosted by drdna on: 9/23/2007
I was so impressed by the concepts Berning put forward, though Romy correctly points out that it solves some problems whilst creating others. As is always the case, topological change is like a chess game.
Anyway I actually bought a Berning (not the Sigfried, which I have NOT heard and so I cannot comment on it, and it may be different) early on. I was really disappointed in the Berning amplifier. I lived with it for quite a while, gritting my teeth and thinking I should be quite happy and what was wrong with me that I didn't love the sound.
I was actually not terribly disturbed when a thief stole the amplifier from me. I was sorrier about the speakers at the time (a hand-made Focal affair). I recall the sound as very uncolored and clear but lacking in emotive and intellectual evocative power. Accurate but uninvolving.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
