Burlington MK II
- Speakers
Description
The new Burlington Mkll has taken many years to develop and a big achievement to supersede an already very popular design.
Based around a cabinet of high structural integrity using constrained layer damping philosophies in much of it’s design and using possibly the best bass/midrange and tweeter on the planet with a cross-over that flawlessly integrates both drivers together.
As with all new designs we are constantly trying to raise the bar in terms of simple musical enjoyment where you can connect with the music being played. The Burlington Mkll does this in a truly holographic nature! Stereo separation and the natural decay of notes are portrayed in exquisite detail and resolution. High frequencies such as cybils and the natural air and textures around instruments give an astounding realism to recordings especially live venues.
Although this design incorporates a single Purifi Audio 6.5″ Ushini driver for bass and mid frequencies, the level and quality of bass produced still amazes everyone. Capable of reproducing the lower octaves of music with extreme speed and authority.
Special attention was given to the cross-over design which uses specific components to match the drivers irrespective of cost. Additional damping applied to the cross-over board with point to point wiring, silver solder and internal wiring using 99.999% 5N OCC copper wire with Airlock insulation made from fluoropolymers.
Each base is made of 10mm steel with isolation coming from our Panzerholtz and ball bearing feet which has been proven to give a far superior isolation of loudspeaker to floor. It is essential to dampen the vibrations emitted by loudspeakers either through the air or via the ground borne vibrations with both equipment dampening and loudspeaker dampening techniques. Spikes and “soft” isolation feet generally do not work and can introduce various problems when connected to differing floor structures.
Both the stand mount version and the floor standing model will redefine the possibities from an audiophiles perspective in terms of sound staging, resolution and dynamic contrast.
Vanishingly low distortion figures are only 1 of many features these loudspeakers exhibit bringing the listener closer to the ” in real life” musical experience within your listening space than ever before.
