George,
Click on your link, and then look at this one. I get different preamps.
Cheers George
Mismatched pre/power amps

I think here is your problem not enough gain from the Lecson. By the looks of it the Lecson pre out can only do .5v output, https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/lecson/ac1.shtml And the Audiolab 8000p has an input sensitivity of 1v https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/audiolab/8000p.shtml You still should get up to a normal listening level though.
