Class-A Amplifier 

Welcome to the first class.
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”.

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 signals with exceptionally 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/ch)
  • 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 peak resonance
