The S-05 is a cutting-edge stereo power amplifier that draws inspiration from the engineering principles and techniques employed in Esoteric's flagship Grandioso M1X monoblock power amplifier. This new addition to the Esoteric lineup is a class-A power amplifier designed to deliver the full breadth of music's unique tonal qualities while maintaining a more compact stereo configuration. It's an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking a high-performance amplifier that can deliver the full essence of music without compromise.

At the heart of the S-05's design philosophy is the concept of "minimal circuitry – maximum output," a principle that has been successfully implemented in the Grandioso M1X. By minimizing the complexity of the amplifier's circuitry, Esoteric's engineers have ensured that the S-05 can deliver the purest possible signal path, preserving the integrity and nuance of the original audio signal.
