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. The two met as students of Imperial College and shared a common frustration of the high cost of hi-fi equipment and the difficulty of use.
audiolab has enjoyed an enviable reputation for amplifier excellence ever since the original 8000A arrived in 1982, establishing itself as the classic step-up model from the ‘budget’ integrated hi-fi amps of the time. This reputation has remained constant through successive product generations, right up to the 6000A and 8300A, both of which have delighted music lovers at their respective price points in recent years. At the end of 2022 and 40 years after the launch of that original 8000A, the next generation of audiolab amplification was revealed. The 9000 Series is audiolab’s new flagship range complete with CD transport, streamer, and the 9000a — which they proudly state is the “best-integrated amplifier audiolab has ever made”.
