Esoteric F-05

[mattd2308]

Hi all,

Just after an opinion. Would this be a significant upgrade over my Denon PMA2500NE.  (Understand laws of diminishing returns) Looking for more headroom, and finesse. 

Can't seem to locate any actual test results on these.  Plenty of reviews with glowing praise, well engineered and made in Japan.

Keen to hear honest opinions.  

Cheers,

Matt

Matt,

          I owned an Esoteric F-05 for several years and it was a fantastic Integrated. Build quality is truly state of the Art. Power-wise there would be very few loudspeakers that it could not handle. True very little exists review-wise but if you can find an F-05 available.......jump at it.

Curious if you went ahead? As an alternative I will likely be listing my I-05 esoteric, it’s pretty special sounding and heaps cheaper than the F series.
