The Esoteric S-05XE Class A power amplifier, which continues the manufacturer's philosophy of prioritizing linearity, channel independence and clear timbre, rather than racing for power. The amplifier outputs 30 watts per channel when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms, is made in the "dual mono" concept, is equipped with independent power sources and a large custom-made toroidal power transformer.
