  • Amplifiers: 2 × 845IA single-ended Class A

Inside the system

ESP separates the main-floor Klipschorns from the lowboy Cornwalls behind the bar. Restored Garrard 401 decks and the Condesa Carmen feed Line Magnetic single-ended amplifiers, making the source, control and power stages unusually visible parts of the venue’s concept.
