€240 is a strong deal here: it sits well below the €313 25th percentile and far under the €455 median of the recent comparable asking prices, so this is priced in bargain territory rather than merely “reasonable.” With 19 comparables anchoring the market, it’s also comfortably below the usual €313–€655 spread, which gives the listing real upside if the unit checks out in person.
That matters because this model is generally regarded as one of Audiolab’s punchier classic integrateds: clean, musical, and capable of driving a sensible range of speakers with good grip and an unfussy, hi-fi-first sound. At excellent condition and this price, the appeal is straightforward: you get a respected vintage solid-state amp without paying collector-money, and if it’s complete and serviced properly, it looks like a very easy buy for someone who wants capable sound rather than a cosmetic showpiece.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audiolab emerged from the frustration of two Imperial College students, Philip Swift and Derek Scotland, who in 1983 founded the brand in Britain to deliver high-quality hi-fi without exorbitant prices or needless complexity. Their debut 8000A integrated amplifier swiftly became a benchmark, praised for its robust build, transparent sound, and minimalist design that prioritized musical purity over gimmicks. This origin story rooted Audiolab in a philosophy of accessible excellence, evolving from kitchen prototypes to a lineup of landmark components like the 8000S preamp, 8000T tuner, and 8000M monoblocs.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs, CD players, tuners, and phono stages, with forays into AV processors and multi-channel amps during its TAG McLaren era from 1997 to 2004. Since joining the International Audio Group in 2004, Audiolab has refined its no-nonsense aesthetic while expanding to modern streaming and digital sources, always emphasizing engineering that extracts maximum performance from any system.
Audiolab holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, renowned among discerning buyers for exceptional value—delivering near-high-end sound quality at approachable prices. It appeals to purists seeking reliable, unadorned British engineering rather than boutique exotica or vintage collectibles, maintaining a loyal following for its enduring reputation in straightforward, music-first performance.
