Description

The 8000A was the first amplifier produced by British specialist maker Audiolab. Slightly more expensive than the typical “budget” amplifier of the time, it was better equipped than many – more inputs, a phono stage for both MM & MC, and it had tone controls. It has gone on to become a real classic and our example is in good condition with a small mark on the front top edge - please refer to photographs. It will be supplied in original packaging along with manual, mains cable and our usual three month warranty.
Audiolab Say….
Formed in the early 1980s by Philip Swift and Derek Scotland, Audiolab earned worldwide acclaim with the 8000A – an integrated stereo amplifier that became a classic ‘step-up’ from the budget models of the time.
During the ensuing years, the 8000A established itself as one of the most successful British amps ever produced, and was joined by a range of electronics including CD players, pre/power amps and an FM tuner. The brand switched hands in 1997, changing its name to TAG McLaren Audio; and it so was known until 2004 when Audiolab became part of the International Audio Group and returned to its original name.

Reviews

“If ever a product defined its market, the 8000A is the one. Reliability, ease of use, engineering excellence and a well-behaved sound are the pillars supporting the justified reputation of the 8000A. Over the years, Audiolab’s no-nonsense, evolutionary approach to design has widely been recognised.”
