Awards 2011- Amplifiers up to £1,000
The origins of the 8200A lie in the classic 8000A from the ’80s and ‘90s. We loved the original and its successor proves equally enthralling. The 8200A combines neutrality and accuracy, with enough of a unique character to entertain. The midrange lucidity impressed us, while detail retrieval is simply superb. It also brings excellent pace and timing to all types of music. Couple that with a solid build, and a large number of inputs and outputs and you have a worthy award winner.
