The 7000A is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC by Audiolab that delivers 70 watts x 2 channels into 8 ohms and 110 watts x 2 channels into 4 ohms. It was released in March 2023. It is a 2-channel design using a Class A/B output stage. A minimum impedance of 4 ohms makes it compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers. It has a built-in DAC (ES9038Q2M 32-bit), so you can play digital sources directly with no separate DAC unit needed. It also has a phono input, so a turntable can connect straight to it. The Audiolab 7000A has an MSRP of $999.

Performance Specs
One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Audiolab 7000A is rated at 70 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Audiolab provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.003% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 70 watts into 8-ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.003%
- 110 watts into 4-ohms
- 4-ohms Min Impedance (allows compatibility with a wide range of loudspeakers)
- 110dB Signal to Noise Ratio

Which speakers suit the Audiolab 7000A?
70 W into 8 ohms, 110 W into 4, rated down to 4 ohms.
We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current
delivery.
Need more power?
Audiolab 7000A is rated at 70 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 61 to 90 watts band. The next band up is 91 to 120 watts, which is worth about 1.5dB more output. That is a real difference in headroom on peaks, and a modest one in how loud the system plays - power and loudness are not the same thing.
Before buying watts, check what your speakers actually need: the amp and speaker matcher works it out from their sensitivity, impedance and your room. Plenty of systems are better served by the Up to 60 watts band and better speakers.
When pairing the Audiolab 7000A with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels.
Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.
What size of room is the Audiolab 7000A Amplifier good for?
An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the Audiolab 7000A amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:
