Low-distortion Detail with Class AB Muscle
Power-hungry floorstanding speakers require an amplifier that can keep them steady at all volume levels, and Eversolo's AMP-F8 delivers that steadfast control to your 2-channel system. At everyday listening levels, the AMP-F8 runs with ultra-low distortion for clarity and fine detail. When the music demands more, its Class AB output stage steps up, delivering 180 watts per channel into 8 ohms, or up to 500 watts in bridged mode. The AMP-F8 provides you with a clean, quiet background and enough headroom to clearly hear a track’s full dynamic range. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs connect to your preamp, DAC, or streamer, and a 2-position gain switch matches the amp to your speakers. You also get front-panel VU meters that immediately show how hard the amp is working. From late-night background listening to a rocking house party, the AMP-F8 ensures your speakers sound their best.

Fine detail where you listen most
Most listening happens at low and moderate levels, which is why the low noise floor is the first feature Sweetwater's home audio experts point out to those considering the AMP-F8. With total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) at an incredibly low 0.003%, you'll be able to hear the texture of a bowed cello and the breath behind a vocal. When you turn it up, the Class AB output stage delivers full power over a quiet background, with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 115dB. The AMP-F8 sounds rich and detailed at a whisper, yet stays composed at full tilt.
Power and control for demanding speakers
With 180 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 280 watts into 4 ohms, the AMP-F8 only gets stronger as impedance drops. Likewise, a damping factor above 400 keeps woofers in check for a tight, well-defined low end. Bridged mode delivers 500 watts into 8 ohms, and two AMP-F8s can also operate as a stereo pair of monoblocks. When you bring the AMP-F8 into your hi-fi system, even speakers with the toughest impedance curves get all the current they require.
