Tiny little ESII amplifier - the smallest and most modest.

Clean, clear, simple, reliable DC amp with enough power to rapidly bring you to deafness.

Mainly sold within complete system such as the rare Concert 1 but also available separately, on its own, and always with the same clean, clear, simple and unequivocably "functionally designed control panel [which] should please even the most critical of Hi-Fi connoisseurs.".
