Formed in the early 1980s by Philip Swift and Derek Scotland,  audiolab earned worldwide acclaim with the 8000A – an integrated stereo  amplifier that became a classic ‘step-up’ from the budget models of the  time.

In 2010 audiolab began the introduction of its latest full-width  8200 Series components, combining the company’s original ethos of  simple, well-constructed ergonomics and crisp, transparent sound with  innovative, performance-led design concepts.
