Esoteric A-02 Stereo Power Amplifier, Silver finish, Just serviced. Pre Loved
We have traded in one of these beautifully made Japanese Esoteric stereo power amplifiers in good condition. There is a small mark on the fascia as shown in photo 2.
It comes complete with original packaging. This unit when sold new was close to $30,000 AUD so represents a great buy for someone looking for a high performance hi end power amplifier.
The passion of the moment music is created is passed from the recording site to the listening room. In that, you the listener share a musical experience with the creators. It is a bridge to just such a euphoria that Esoteric entrusted this new model of power amplifier to provide.

The A-02 stereo power amplifier is infused with know-how gained from professional studio devices based on the unique Master Sound Works concept. We pursued sound quality befitting original master recording playback through collaboration with studio engineers as an extension of design ideas of the highly esteemed A-03. Moreover, we adopted technologies and innovative measures to improve speaker driving power expected in professional applications.
Lavish application of high-level craftsmanship was made with a focus on the sound desired by artists and engineers. That way, music enthusiasts can be treated to the creators' commitment to music without any loss of scale and quality.
