Audiolab 8300A - Black - Stereo Integrated Amplifier

About the Audiolab 8300A - Black - Stereo Integrated Amplifier:

Completely new design, from scratch. The 8300A was already a market leader but is now miles ahead again. More power, an additional phono stage and new Audiolab styling make this amplifier more stylish and versatile than ever. New, ultra-efficient circuitry and streamlined components create a listening experience that redefines your favorite music.

Brilliant Evolution

The circuit design of the 8300A provides an entirely new sound quality. The sound image produced is deeper and wider, with more space and separation inside. Instrument and voices are better defined, their character vividly rendered. The dynamic range is greater and the frequency response is further extended, with greater bass definition and treble that is both clearer and "sweeter." In short, a completely new experience through the familiar music played, which all hi-fi equipment should provide by the way, the listener is immersed in natural musical energy that reproduces the source material very well.

Versatile High-End Integrated Amplifier

The heart of this unit is a powerful dual-mono amplifier delivering 75 W per channel at eight ohms. CFB or "Complementary Feedback" topology provides superior linearity and ensures excellent thermal stability.

ACD or "Active Current Drive" means that the current limitation is under microprocessor control, programmed to enable the amplifier to deliver high currents to complex loads, similar to amplifiers that are larger and more powerful on paper.
