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 synchronization: when you switch on the TV, the amplifier also switches on, and the volume control is done directly from the TV remote control.
