Our thoughts

Studio-derived design and 400 watts into 4 ohms give owners of demanding loudspeakers real power in reserve, and a recent service has renewed the main filtering.

Its stereo rating is specified down to 4 ohms, so it is designed for low impedance loudspeakers. Balanced XLR and RCA inputs let it connect to either balanced or unbalanced sources, so the connection can follow the rest of your system. Pre-loved and in good condition, it has a small mark on the fascia and comes in its original packaging. Hi Fi and Stereo in Brisbane recently replaced all main filtering capacitors, carried out detailed testing and issued a service report.

Suited to a stereo system built around demanding loudspeakers, in a room where headroom is the priority. Call the team or talk with us in person about the minimum load and how the input choice fits your source or preamplifier.

We have traded in one of these beautifully made Japanese Esoteric A-02 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.

This unit has been just serviced by Hi Fi and Stereo here in Brisbane and all Main Filtering Capacitors were replaced to ensure there would be no issues for the new owner.  The service also carried out some detailed testing and was also thoroughly cleaned with a service report issued, the amplifier was found to be in very good condition. A 3 month warranty applies on the service work for added confidence.
If you require Shipping and Insurance it is Strongly recommended that you contact us BEFORE ordering as this unit does NOT qualify for free shipping.
Here is the Guff !!!
Master Sound Works

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.

A-02

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.
