Description

Arcam A15 + KEF Q Concerto Meta + Chord C-screenX Cables

The A15 sits between the A5 and A25 in the Arcam Radia range, offering 60% more power than the A5 it is well suited to larger rooms and for pairing with larger floor standing or less sensitive speakers.

Arcam have been building top quality amplifiers for more than 45 years and it’s clear to see (and hear) that this expertise has been put to great use in the new A15. Arcam’s engineers have spent countless hours analysing and reviewing new components and materials to ensure the best possible performance – the result is an amplifier that offers best in class sound quality, versatile connectivity and sleek, premium styling.

Hi-Res Streaming

The Arcam A15 is more than just a stereo amplifier, it also features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology – capable of providing up to 24-bit HD audio when streaming music from your phone or tablet, just add a suitable pair of speakers and you have a ready made Hi-Fi system. You can also connect to Bluetooth headphones for those more private listening sessions.

Powerhouse performance

With a rated output of 2 x 80w RMS the Arcam A15 will drive the vast majority of speakers with ease, comfortably filling larger spaces with dynamic, life-like sound. This impressive power combined with ultra-low levels of distortion enables the A15 to play at high volume levels for extended periods without sounding harsh or strained.

Vinyl Lover

Re-energise your cherished vinyl collection with the A15, the high-quality built-in phono stage has been carefully designed to extract the absolute most from your record collection and is suitable for turntables with an MM (moving magnet) cartridge.

Versatile connectivity

The A15 makes connecting your external sources simple, a premium built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), enables effortless connection to digital audio sources. Boasting two coaxial and one optical input you can easily connect your TV, games console, music streamer etc. The audiophile ESS DAC ensures the best possible sound quality for any digital source. For connecting more traditional analogue sources like an FM tuner, there are three RCA phono inputs available.

Sleek style & premium build quality

The Arcam A15 boasts a sleek, attractive design without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing and satin black finish with subtle yellow accents give a high-quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.

Optional matching source components

Arcam offer the CD5 CD player and ST5 streamer should you wish to expand your system further. Both a perfect match aesthetically and sonically.

KEF Q Concerto Meta - Premium Sound, Compact Design

Finding high-quality three-way bookshelf speakers at an accessible price is rare, but KEF's Q Concerto Metas deliver in spades. These stunning speakers combine KEF's renowned Uni-Q driver array with a newly engineered bass driver, offering an entirely revamped design. Packed with advanced driver and sound absorption technology, the Concerto Metas provide stunning performance as standalone speaker or as part of a multi-channel home theatre setup.

Enhanced Uni-Q Driver Array for Superior Clarity

The Concerto Metas feature KEF's 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, which positions the tweeter at the centre of the midrange cone. This innovative layout ensures high and midrange frequencies emanate from a single point, expanding the "sweet spot" and distributing sound evenly across your space.

The midrange driver incorporates KEF's Flexible Decoupling Chassis, a technology borrowed from their high-end Blade and Reference series. This design isolates the midrange motor from the Uni-Q array to eliminate coloration and cabinet vibrations, preserving sound purity.

State-of-the-Art Woofer for Deep, Accurate Bass

Beneath the Uni-Q array lies a 6.5-inch hybrid aluminium bass driver, designed for precision and speed. Made from a lightweight paper cone reinforced with a concave aluminium layer, this driver achieves exceptional rigidity and low distortion. The result is bass that's impressively deep, detailed, and accurate.

With these cutting-edge advancements, the KEF Q Concerto Metas raise the performance bar for a bookshelf speaker in this price range, offering unmatched performance and versatility for audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

Package includes a Free 3m pair of pre-terminated Chord C-screenX speaker cables (see below)
