The beating heart
of modern High-End-Hifi
The AS 8.3 S is more than an integrated amplifier – it is the beating heart of a modern music system, rendering towers of separate components and tangles of cables completely obsolete. 550 watts per channel, tube line stage, high-end streaming, phono input, HDMI ARC for your television: everything is here, everything at the highest level.
Sound Without Compromise
The tube line stage lends the AS 8.3 S that characteristic warmth and spaciousness only tubes can deliver. At the same time, the power stage drives even the most demanding loudspeakers with effortless authority – precise, dynamic, and controlled.
This is AVM’s finest integrated amplifier hi-fi device ever created, marking the launch of the new “S” line – S for Super, or as some say internally: OVAS, representing the absolute pinnacle of AVM engineering.

How the Trade Press Reviews Us
The Sound Giant: AVM AS 8.3 S Elevates Audio Experience to a New Level
„With the AS 8.3 S, AVM presents a top-class integrated amplifier that literally encompasses everything desired and possible in functionality. The pinnacle of what has been achievable has once again been raised, creating a new class above the previous all-in-one models from the brand. Externally, the new flagship of AVM’s all-rounders features the typical elegant, screwless design of the Ovation series and incorporates a wealth of heritage from the recently introduced “Black Edition.” A generous OLED display provides information and interaction with the user. Thus, this AVM takes ownership of the listening space, keeping every speaker on a short leash and effortlessly filling the room with life, breath, and music. The diction is very clear and vivid, dynamic and powerful, with a slight touch of warmth that presumably comes from the tube stage, supporting absolutely superb tonal colors. At the same time, the sound image is literally “on point,” as the AVM sweeps around corners and navigates curves, engaging rhythmically and seemingly approaching its tasks with a certain empathy. And there is always enough thrust available. You see, here an all-in-one, especially one of the absolute top class, proves to be more than the sum of its functional parts.“
