I love my old Audiolab 8000A. I am a vinyl fan and love the MC phono section. We will never part, especially as I put it through open heart surgery to replace it's power capacitors. Nearly lost it but it's not ready to give up just yet.
Armed with it's new power and rejuvenated energy it's enslaved a beautiful pair of Bowers and Wilkins DM605 S2 active subwoofer speakers. O.M.G!... but they really need more power than old 8000A can give them, it needs a little more "ooomph!" to satisfy these babies me thinks.
The plan: Power amplification from the current 60W to around 150W (ish) using the 8000A as pre-amp while still retaining a bi-wiring function because I wish to use the good cable I have.
options so far:
8000A>stereo power amp (with A+B outlets) (8000P)
8000A>2 X stereo power amps
8000A>4Xmono power amps
other?
I also seem to remember reading something about working on the 8000A to use just the pre amp section. Anyone?
All help and experience greatfully accepted. Budget, perhaps £300+
