For Sale Audiolab 8000A Integrated Amplifier and Wharfedale Powered Subwoofer

Wharfedale Diamond SW150 Powered Subwoofer P6500

This model retails for almost 400 dollars and normally runs discounted for 150 British pounds (P10,600 plus).

I'm selling it because I no longer need a subwoofer. Condition is very good since I am the type of owner that babies his equipment. The sound is awesome for the price, in fact I prefer these to some velodyne subs that Ive tried and they are also very easy to blend in with any speaker you might have due to the flexibility of its electronic crossover. Ive had a definitive technology subwoofer before which cost much more but wasn't nearly as good and wasn't as easy to set up as these.

Audiolab 8000A Integrated Amplifier P14,000

This model is already becoming a classic among integrated amp afficionados for its relatively neutral sound. It also sounds more powerful than its 50WPC Rating since it blows my Onkyo 80 WPC surround receiver away in this respect. This model pre dates the time when tag heuer and Mclaren bought the company to form Tag Mclaren which I think audiolab bought back again. Unlike newer Brit Integrateds that are outsourced to China or Taiwan, these are still made in England.
By the way, In case the speaker amp portion is not needed at the moment, the headphone jack this comes with is very powerful! Very nice for driving any hard to drive headphone you might have.

WARNING: 110 Volts. DO NOT PLUG INTO A 220 Volt Socket!!! I recommend using a transformer instead of a voltage regulator because sometimes the dynamic swings at loud volumes will activate their protection circuitry faster when using an AVR that lacks juice. I haven't had any such problem when using a typical 500 watt black coil type transformer. I wouldn't recommend using anything smaller though.

By the way, if anyone is interested you may text me at 09088619787 and arrange for me to bring any of these to your house to try out with your equipment.

 

I bet some Jethro Tull would sound fantastic through your setup.

 

oh yah. the steve hoffman remaster of aqualung sounds pretty nice

 

Good Value

I've heard/enjoyed these items a number of times. These are truly sold at good value prices. Bang for the buck.

 

By the way, If someone buys both of these items together, I will give a big discount

 

If anyone has any audiophile goodies to trade, I might also take them and subtract from the cost of my items

 

If you buy both, I'm willing to just get rid of them together for 17k

 

How much for the amp only, I don't have a use for the Bass, how about 10k?

 

hmm remember this was a $1000 amp What about 12k. I'll give it for that price if you get it within the next two days.
