Compact - Pure - Class A

Witness the birth of an all-new stereo power amplifier, borrowing from the engineering techniques utilized in our flagship Grandioso M1X mono block.

The new S-05 – a class-A power amplifier thoroughly focused on delivering all of music’s unique tonal qualities from a more compact stereo configuration, embracing the philosophy of the Grandioso M1X:

“Minimal Circuitry – Maximum Output”.

Key Features

- Lavish material employment, simple and straight circuit design concept borrowed from the Grandioso M1X

- Finely detailed Class-A sound with super dynamics – an Esoteric’s signature tone

- Dual monaural construction in all stages including current smoothing circuit for better channel separation

- Esoteric’s proprietary current signal transmission, “ES-Link Analog” delivers music signal with exceptional high power and fidelity.

- High capacity bi-polar 3 parallel push/pull circuit that instantaneously responds to the music signal

- 940VA large EI-core power transformer that responds to dynamic current supply changes with high speed

- Large “Grandioso grade” custom capacitors on each channel ( 10,000μF × 4/ channel )

- Balanced input amplifier for stable, noise-free signal transmission

- BTL / Bi-amp mode switch for dual amplifier configuration

- DC Trigger for sequential power ON/OFF with the N-05XD

- Esoteric’s unique isolation feet and semi-floating top panel

- Unique shaped heat-sink to minimize its own peak resonance
