i have the audiolab 6000A and I like it.
It’s a very heavy component with nicely machined metal knobs and a very basic display. The matte black finish is a nice change from the overused glossy piano black. There is zero flash here, but a lot of value. Very good specs and class AB amplification. 3 analog inputs, 2 optical, 2 coax plus a phono stage, remote trigger inputs/outputs and wireless bluetooth streaming. It has a very good ESS Sabre DAC and a mode selection switch allows it to function as just a power amp, just a preamp, or as a full integrated. amp. The remote is good with solid button feel. It can be had for around $950.
If you add the 6000cdt, you get a great sounding cd transport that makes a very nice short stack and can be operated from a single remote.
Sadly, there isn’t as much experience with it on this side of the pond, which worried me before purchase...but it sounds very good and I wasn’t disappointed.
