Launched in 2022 as part of Burmester's B-Series, the B28 is a high-end floorstanding speaker known for its elegant slim design, precise imaging, transparent sound, and dynamic bass performance. It employs a 3-way configuration with all drivers on the front baffle, each in separate chambers to minimize interaction, along with stiffening elements to reduce vibrations and a dedicated crossover chamber to eliminate microphonics. The AMT tweeter provides clarity and speed, the 17 cm midrange driver excels in vocal and instrument reproduction with a low crossover to bass, and dual 17 cm woofers deliver controlled deep bass via long-stroke design and flow-optimized ports. Available in finishes like black, white, medium gray, American walnut (matt), with silver or black fronts. Optional bi-amping and bass adjustment via switch and foam cylinder.
