Over 20 years on, it’s easy to underestimate the impact the first audiolab products had on the market, but the original 8000A certainly shook up a cosy British audio industry: here was an amplifier designed with the kind of facilities consumers wanted, yet still able to deliver a sound to please audiophiles.

The 8000CDE is one of the best value CD players on the market today. Employing the same high quality dedicated mechanism, ‘lazy’ servo and software as the original 8000CD player, the CDE is both accurate and detailed with astonishing timing and neutrality. Spec

The 8000CD is a completely new design. Using a bespoke designed transport, optimised for accurate transfer of data to the very latest Crystal DACs, it is a worthy partner to the amplifiers and stands alone as one of the best CD players at anything close to its price. Spec

The 8000SE integrated amplifier retains nearly all the performance of the 8000S amplifier, and offers remarkable value for money. Spec

The 8000S integrated amplifier has been crafted with the famous 8000A as its inspiration. With this fine heritage behind it, the virtues of the system are many; not least of which is flexibility. Spec

Reliable and robust, the ‘Q’ has been a stalwart of the 8000 series. Good pre-amplifiers are few and far between in the audiophile world. To be considered such an audiophile pre-amplifier, the 8000Q must provide all of the functionality and control required without imparting any character of its own to the delicate audio signals. Spec

The 8000P is a classic two channel power amplifier, delivering over 100W per channel and a peak output of over 40 Amps. Comfortably able to drive most loudspeaker loads, the 8000P is equally useful in Home Cinema configurations as it is in high performance stereo applications. Spec

Using two monobloc amplifiers, rather than a two-channel stereo power amplifier can significantly improve the performance of any hi-fi system. Although the 8000M offers greater power output than an 8000P, it is gain matched, so should you upgrade your system in the future, you can happily use the two in combination. Spec

The 8000AP is designed to offer optimal performance with Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, multi-channel audio and any digital optical or co-axial source.The 8000AP has an impressive feature set, however, the real elegance is in the cleanliness of each audio signal path. Spec

The 8000X7 home theatre power amplifier delivers 7 x 100Wrms power. However, you can also run it in five or six channel mode too. By bridging two channels it is possible to create a more powerful single channel - especially useful if your front left and front right speakers are more performance critical than the other speakers in your 5.1 system.
