Question Audiolab 8000S & 8000SX - best modern bi-amp speakers to match?

[JulianDH]

My Audiolab powerhouse has come out of venerable retirement and seeks matching pair to enjoy mutual interests including classical, opera, rock etc etc. Will be streaming based Tidal HiFi as well as FLAC AAC library. What do we think? Anybody got experience of old Audiolab and modern speakers? Keep safe and 😃

For what it's worth I wouldn't bother with the bi-amping bit, just run speakers from the SX, but that's just me.
How do you plan to stream to this amplifier?

I run PiCorePlayer and LMS ( Logitech Media Server). Have various headless players off that system

Hi JulianDH

This is exactly the setup I have but I am currently running Mission 782 bi-amped and wow -weight, power, dynamics and authority. However, I suspect the mid-range units on the Missions are failing so I am considering the Ffyne Audio F303 which are biamp-able for around £700. I love the sound of my system with the missions, which I may fix by getting replacement mid-range units from Audax...

Hope this helps
