In stereo it makes 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, and flipping one switch on the back turns it into a 300-watt monoblock, so buying a second one later doubles your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThat choice is the point. Audiolab built the 9000P as the partner for its 9000Q preamp, but it works just as well with any preamp or with a streamer that has its own volume control. Balanced XLR and RCA inputs are both fitted, so nothing needs an adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eInto 4 ohms the stereo rating climbs to 160 watts a side, and bridged it reaches 380 watts into that same load.
