Yes, I am sure Ivan. In my smallish room it may actually work out that it is only 30w into 8 ohms but will need to think about proper pair of speakers.

Thought long & hard about the F-05 when deciding on a new integrated. But, the smaller form-factor of the E-270 won the day for me. Of the Esoteric integrated amps the F-05 is the definite winner to my eyes. Like the E-270, has all those sexy exposed knobs & buttons.

I currently own a Primaluna Premium Dialogue HP, which sounds great, but I worry about tube reliability. The F-05 does look very appealing. Has anyone compared it to a tube amp? If so, how much of that "tube magic" would I give up for better reliability?

I'm interested in their integrated amps too, mainly the F05. My dealer is expecting one to arrive soon. Can't wait to hear it!!!!!

I have also owned the F-05. It’s a great, full featured integrated that is reasonably priced. It does not sound “tube like” but for a SS integrated, it is very dynamic and presents a sound signature that is very slightly to the warm side of neutral. It’s built like a tank and the packaging is amongst the best in the industry.
