The A8 APEX is a hybrid integrated amplifier, inspired by the A10 and A12, combining ECC81/12AT7 tubes and transistors for 2x75W of Class A/B power. It offers inputs for a variety of sources (analog, digital, USB, HDMI e-ARC) and advanced features (1 subwoofer output, Pre-Out, Amp-In).

  • 2x75W class A/B and tube preamplification
  • Toroidal transformer power supply
  • Numerous audio inputs and outputs
  • VU-metre

The sound magic of audio tubes

Music lovers will appreciate the warmth and richness of these tubes, often compared to the smoothness of vinyl. In fact, audio tubes offer dynamics and depth that capture the essence of every note. Thanks to this technology, the A8 APEX transforms listening into a truly immersive experience, where each instrument can be distinctly heard, and the subtle nuances of the music come to life. Whether listening to a classic or discovering new melodies, the user will be transported into an exceptional world of sound, rediscovering the pleasure of top-quality listening.

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 television

Thanks to its HDMI eARC input, amplifier A8 APEX connects directly to your TV for easy operation.




The functions CEC ensure synchronisation: when you switch on the TV, the amplifier also switches on, and the volume control is done directly from the TV remote control.
