Integrated Amplifiers

Esoteric F-02 integrated amplifier

The Esoteric F-02 is a brand new class AB integrated amplifier. It sits pretty much along side the new F-01 but is for those wanting more power than the 30 WPC offered by the F-01. It is cosmetically pretty much identical to the F-01.

Information

The “finest” integrated amplifier incorporating Grandioso “X” Edition amp technologies.

The “Finest” Integrated Amplifier you could ever want – The new F Series integrated amplifiers are the culmination of a range of technologies designed to fulfil your ideals.

Incorporating all of the preamp and power amp developments from the flagship Grandioso “X” Edition, the new F Series integrated amplifiers deliver outstanding musicality that captures the rich textures of music in a single integrated amplifier. Despite the fact that the F Series is an integrated amplifier, it delivers a thorough quality and performance that will be the envy of all separate amp users. The F Series is the integrated amplifier that owners of Esoteric’s K and N Series digital players have been waiting for, and it pushes the boundaries of integrated amplifier technology.
