audiolab 9000P Power Amplifier - Silver

Pure Power, Flagship Grade

The 9000P is Audiolab's flagship power amplifier, a dedicated stereo amp built to do one thing at the highest level the brand offers. Class AB amplification with Complementary Feedback (CFB) circuitry delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, or 160 watts into 4 ohms. A 320VA toroidal transformer and 60,000 microfarads of total reservoir capacitance back that output for genuinely unburstable power delivery.

Switch to bridged mono mode, and a single 9000P outputs 300 watts into 8 ohms, or 380 watts into 4 ohms. A matched pair becomes a serious monoblock solution for speakers that need real current. Both a balanced XLR input and an unbalanced RCA input accept a signal from your preamp. A 12-volt trigger ties power-up to the rest of an automated system.

Total harmonic distortion under 0.002% and a signal-to-noise ratio above 112dB keep the 9000P's own footprint small. Whatever preamp or processor drives it gets to define the character of the system.

Built for the Long Run

At just over 20 pounds and finished in black or silver to match the rest of Audiolab's 9000 series, the 9000P carries the same minimalist, precisely machined look as its stablemates. With no volume control or source switching to manage, there's no remote control included; the 9000P is designed to be set and left running behind a preamp.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Ed Selley, in a March 21, 2025 review for AVForums, wrote that the 9000P delivers "clean, unburstable power in a way that balances refinement, impressive punch and fundamental rightness." He compared it favorably against rival power amps, finding it avoided the "occasional delicacy" issues of some competitors while exceeding others in dynamism, and praised the build quality outright, calling the fit and finish "absolutely superb." AVForums awarded the 9000P a 9 out of 10, Highly Recommended, recommending it as a versatile power amplifier suited to more than just Audiolab's own preamp.

Who Is This Power Amplifier Best For?

• You already have a preamp or processor you trust — the 9000P adds flagship-level power without replacing what you have.
• You want headroom that can scale with your speakers — 100 watts per channel in stereo, or up to 380 watts in bridged mono with a matched pair.
• You want the amplifier to disappear sonically — sub-0.002% THD and a 112dB-plus signal-to-noise ratio keep it out of the way.
• You're building a system that will grow — balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs plus 12-volt trigger support round out a serious system.
• If you need volume control or source switching, the 9000P has neither — Audiolab's own 9000Q preamp is the natural partner.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Connect the balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA output from your preamp or processor to the 9000P's inputs, and your speakers to the binding posts. A 12-volt trigger ties power-up to the rest of your system, and two units can be bridged to mono for even more output into a single pair of demanding speakers.

From there, the 9000P simply gets out of the way and lets your preamp and speakers do the talking.
