RIP Dieter Burmester. From DAR: Per a news item on the Rutherford Audio website, founder and CEO of the Berlin-based Burmester Audiosysteme GmbH, Dieter Burmester passed away on 15th August after succumbing to a “short but severe illness”. He was 69 years old. Too young by anyone’s standards.

Way too young! Here is the announcement (in English) on the Burmester website:
Burmester Audio Systeme GmbH | News

His brand is synonym for the beautiful chrome finished gear:

I can imagine most business success came from his deal with Porsche en Mercedes-Benz (the Stuttgart brands) to equip their highest-end cars with audio systems as well as the Bugatti Veyron even though the latter is not about the numbers but more the prestige.

R.I.P. Dieter.
