About the B80
The Burmester B80 is a 3-way, 5-driver floorstanding loudspeaker with two 210mm glass fibre cone woofers in a bass-reflex enclosure, two 130mm magnesium-cone midrange drivers, and an isodynamic ribbon tweeter with a Kaladex membrane. It offers a frequency response of 30Hz-25kHz, power handling of 300W, nominal impedance of 4 ohms, sensitivity of 90dB (2.83V/1m), and dimensions of 290 x 1400 x 450mm with a weight of 65kg. The later B80 MK2 revision retained the same basic driver topology and key specifications but introduced crossover and high-frequency radiation refinements with optimized sound-radiation control and updated midrange drivers for improved neutrality and resolution. Standard finishes include Elsberry, Makassar, and silver, with high-gloss white and walnut available as special-order options.
