Each driver works in its own enclosure chamber so none interacts with another, and the crossover sits in a separate chamber to keep microphonic effects out of the signal. Systematically placed stiffening elements stabilize the enclosure walls and reduce cabinet vibration, and two flow-optimized bass reflex tubes with smooth, rigid surfaces let the two 17 cm woofers reach 39 Hz with little loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe treble comes from an Air Motion Transformer with a flexible but stable foil diaphragm and good internal damping; its narrow width, like the B38's, gives low horizontal dispersion with a wide sweet spot. The midrange is a 17 cm driver with a stiff glass-fiber cone. Internal wiring is Burmester cable with fine strands and large cross-sections. Burmester rates the B28 at 87 dB sensitivity, 4 Ω impedance, 39 Hz to 31 kHz within 3 dB and 180 W power handling, and at 82 lb per speaker it is a manageable size for a normal living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHolger Biermann of LowBeats called the B28 the best all-round loudspeaker he knew below 20,000 euros, praising its build and its undemanding electrical load, and gave it the magazine's top rating. The 232 or 032 integrated amplifiers and the 036 or 956 MK2 power amplifiers are its natural partners, and the step up to the B38 is worth hearing for a larger room. We can set them up side by side in our Portland showroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe B28 is finished in white, middle-grey, black or American walnut, all matt, with a screwless silver or black front.
