Accuphase E-800S Class-A Precision Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The E-800S is Accuphase's flagship integrated amplifier, combining everything the company knows about preamp and power-amp design into a single, fully balanced chassis.

Its Balanced AAVA volume control and six-fold parallel push-pull Class A output stage work together for an unusually clean, effortless sound, with output climbing to 200 watts into a 2-ohm load. Three sets of balanced inputs, a genuinely high-quality discrete headphone amplifier, and two option-board expansion slots make it a complete, no-compromise system hub rather than just a power source.
