A8 APEX

Integrated Amplifier

The A8 APEX features the hybrid design of our flagship integrated amplifiers in a more compact format, but still delivers high power (76W in Class A/B under 8 Ω) and the same musicality that is recognized worldwide.

To celebrate the brand’s 30th anniversary, we are presenting a special limited edition with a black finish.

The A8 APEX combines timeless design with modern technology to deliver power, musicality and ease of use.

The sound magic of audio tubes

Music lovers will appreciate the warmth and richness of sound offered by these tubes, often compared to the timeless smoothness of vinyl. Thanks to its hybrid technology combining tubes and transistors, the A8 APEX transforms every listening experience into an immersive one, where each instrument stands out with precision and the subtlest nuances of the music come to life.

Want to spin a record?

The A8 APEX is compatible with vinyl turntables with MM cells (the most classic). It incorporates an RIAA phono preamplifier, so you can enjoy the full musicality of your vinyl records.

A-BTC compatibility

Thanks to the optional A-BTC Bluetooth receiver, you can establish a high-quality audio link between your A8 APEX and your phone/tablet/computer.

The ideal partner for your TV

Thanks to its HDMI eARC input, amplifier A8 APEX connects directly to your TV for easy operation. The functions CEC ensure synchronization: when you switch on the TV, the amplifier also switches on, and the volume control is done directly from the TV remote control.
