Audiolab 8300A

Audiolab's latest stereo amp shows plenty of muscle, but how does it compare to the class-leaders?

I have this working with a 6000A. Clean, full sound through my (now dated!) LS50s. Easy set up, nice remote, looks great. Very happy with the purchas.

I've had this 8300a around 6 weeks now and it is just sublime. I love everything about it. It seems to take around 40 minutes to sound its best but when its there it really does sing! I switch it on beforehand ie in the morning on the weekend or when i...

I had the Audiolab 8000A for 32 years and thought maybe now is the time for an upgrade and again went for an Audiolab. Very pleased I did. Great sound and I am now looking forward to revisiting my music library. Very impressed.

Stereo Imagine is good, with great bass control. The sound is clear and very accurate, but not as full bodied as some rivals. The phono stage is good enough not to warrant an external phono stage. The Bi-Wiring options is good for my B&W Speakers as it...
