Audiolab 8300XP - This is end game stuff!

My review/opinion of the phenomenal and massive Audiolab 8300XP and why this is the best amp I every heard! Thanks for watching.

Excellent review. An interesting price comparable amp to compare it to would be the Rotel 1572 MkII.

hi ,ive always been impressed with their amp efforts my first proper amp was a 8000a back in the 80s ,ive still got one lol,ive recently bought a d5 pro transaudio dual mono power amp it truly is a beast and at 300 watts into 4 it controls my 104/2 with total authority this amp would be very similar i guess ..

I told you the 8300xp is a great amp, smooth and sweet so relaxing to listen to and enjoy, build quality is brilliant, no cheap flexi panels, solid like a tank. Im on the fence to get 2 xp's for bridged mono 480w per side 😮 or maybe fixed in a vertical biamp method, im just worried my hifi glass cabinet will explode with the weight of 2 being circa 30kg total. Im sure this would be an end game setup for me. You cant beat a truly well built old school system, compared to these far east modern lightweight very analytical system that measure well, they normally sound good but have no soul and get fatiguing quickly. Welcome to the audiolab family 😂

GM☕️🍩 from Toronto . I’ve been running the Audiolab 6000CDT feeding a Denafrips DAC and it’s a great performer. This amplifier looks damn interesting..and a possible addition into my system…I’ll definitely keep an eye out for it. Have a great weekend.

An excellent and very interesting review - following on from your equally positive review of the 8300A. But I admit being puzzled by your decision to test the the XP using another brand for the preamplifier - when you had on hand the 8300A which was designed by Audiolab to be the preamp for the XP! Maybe you can test them together to get the whole picture? Anyway thank you.

7:51 ..wait ..what are there 2 sets of speaker connections on each side?? Biwire ???

[@javierperez3085]

Yes

I don't think they make the 8300 anymore.

Good remark, seems indeed not available anymore...strange, they take away their best product 😅
