Special equipment

The device should actually be the first model within a new high-end line (Esoteric Line) and priced above the FineArts line will be placed. A suitable tube output stage was also planned. However, this was no longer implemented at the end of the eighties and an active loudspeaker was developed instead (Five Active).
