This sleek stem, consisting of the N-05XD and the S-05 is simple, yet versatile. All you have to do is carefully choose a pair of speakers, and you will be set for life.
Witness the birth of an all-new stereo power amplifier, borrowing from the engineering techniques utilized in our flagship Grandioso M1X monoblock. 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”.
