Audiolab amplifiers are very well built and are solid, heavy and reliable pieces of equipment. This model is no exception and like its predecessor, (the Audiolab 8000A), it is a very versatile piece of equipment. It can be used as an integrated amplifier, or it can be used as a pre amplifier, or it can be used as a power amplifier. It can be used with an AV amplifier. This amplifier has a clean, clear, detailed and well balanced, accurate sound. Some may find it ever so slightly lean in the bass sound frequency. I have mine linked to a separate power amplifier. In my system, the Audiolab is providing all of the control functions of a pre amp and is also driving the tweeters in my floorstanding speakers. The power amp to which it is linked, is driving the woofers of my floorstanding speakers, which are effectively bi wired and bi amped. The sound produced is wonderfully rich and absorbing. If you want an amp that sounds great and that will last for a very, very long time, then I would recommend you to buy one of these. It is satisfaction guaranteed in my opinion.Read full review

It's well built, powerful amplifier. But the Audiolab 8000A (circa 1996) does sound better. You do get a remote with 8200A to change the volume, but then again no bass and treble tone controls that are on the 8000A, which useful to correct for bad recordings or tricky acoustics. With the 8200A you can easily split out the pre and power amp sections to combine with a surround sound receiver. But with the 8000A all need is a good speaker switching box (I use a QED one) and an AV receiver that has a Front L/R phono/RCA out (quite often called Zone 2 or pre Front Out). Yes the 8200A is good but the older 8000A (before Tag/IAG ownership of Audiolab) is better :-)

A quality product excellent build quality you need to pair this with your speaker choice carefully but get it right and you will be rewarded. I have the 8200CDQ and Monitor MR6 floor standers very happy with this combination. IF you can pick up a 8200A for sub £400 you have a bargain
