The 9000P is a stereo power amplifier by Audiolab that delivers 100 watts x 2. It was released in November 2024. It is a 2-channel design using a Class A/B output stage. Bridged to mono it delivers 300 watts, which is the usual way to use a pair of these on a demanding speaker. Speakers connect via binding posts. A minimum impedance of 4 ohms makes it compatible with a wide range of loudspeakers. The Audiolab 9000P has an MSRP of $1,499.
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 9000P is rated at 100 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Audiolab provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.002% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).
Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:
- 100 watts into 8-ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.002%
- 4-ohms Min Impedance (allows compatibility with a wide range of loudspeakers)

Need more power?
Audiolab 9000P is rated at 100 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our 91 to 120 watts band. The next band up is 121 to 180 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 61 to 90 watts band and better speakers.
When pairing the Audiolab 9000P 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.

Audiolab 9000P Pros and Cons
Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.
- ✓100 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
- ✓Distortion is specified at 0.002%, an order of magnitude below what is generally held to be audible.
- ✓Can be bridged to mono, so a pair can be used as two larger monoblocks.
- ✓Detachable mains lead (IEC 3-prong).
- ✗A power amplifier has no volume control and no input selection - it needs a preamplifier, or a source with a variable output, in front of it.
