The Grandioso C1 is the result of the single-minded dedication to audio quality instilled in every componentthat bears the proud Grandioso name. Each C1 preampli�er is handmade in our Tokyo factory with State-of-the-art circuit design and leading-edge technology that yields outstanding audio performance. The C1's robust construction employs two separate chassis, with each channel totally independent from the other.Featuring a DC power supply (dual AC inlets), full balanced con�guration, high precision QVCS volume control,home theatre bypass, 3 x XLR & 2 x RCA inputs with 2 x XLR & 2 x RCA outputs, the C1 o�ers everythingyou could ever want in a linestage.

http://www.esoteric.jp/products/esoteric/c1/indexe.html

In designing the M1, ESOTERIC’s goal was to push the outer limits of what a power ampli�er could be. The key to the overwhelming power and rich sound quality of the M1 ampli�er is a custom-built ultra-largetoroidal core transformer with a 3057VA core size and a mass of approximately 18 kg. This helps producebreathtaking speaker-driving power upto 1200w (@2ohm) with a S/N ratio of 122dB at the input stage, atruly remarkable achievement.utilizing high quality components throughout and encased in ESOTERIC’s now famous battleship gradealuminium chassis, the M1 is the epitome of monoblock ampli�er design.

Following in the footsteps of our M1 �agship, the S1 bene�ts from its knowledge and technology. Featuringmany of the M1 techonologies, the S1 o�ers 600w (@2ohm) per channel and the same attention to detailin the hand selected components and chassis construction.The S1 stands amongst the great stereo power ampli�ers currently available, built with know how that onlyESOTERIC can o�er.

The Grandioso F1 takes its place at the pinnacle of the integrated range, comprised of only the very bestin luxurious materials expected of a �agship model. Since we take pride in in-house development and thefact that our products are made in Tokyo, we took the extra step to develop a unique next-generation silicone carbide MOSFET called the ESOTERIC MODEL200 for the core of the power ampl�ier. This is just the �rst of many features that include fully balanced preampli�er, dual mono con�guration, ES-LINK Analog (for use with K1 player), dual mono phono stage, high quality headphone ampli�er and 3-bandtone control just to name a few. The F1 is a technological tour de force without peer in its category.
