The mighty Arcam A25 is the flagship amplifier in the new Radia series. Featuring a 5th Generation Class G amplifier design, the A25 mixes power and finesse in equal measure to produce stunning sound quality with superb depth, clarity and precision.
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 A25. 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, luxurious styling.
Hi-Res Streaming
The Arcam A25 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.
Powerful and efficient
Arcam’s renowned Class G amplifier design offers plenty of power with a rated output of 2 x 100w RMS - more than enough power to drive the vast majority of speakers with ease, comfortably filling larger spaces with full-blooded, dynamic, life-like sound. This impressive power combined with ultra-low levels of distortion and excellent efficiency enables the A25 to play at high volume levels for extended periods without sounding harsh or strained.
Vinyl Lover
Re-energise your cherished vinyl collection with the A25, 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 A25 makes connecting your external sources simple, an audiophile quality 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. A USB-C input allows easy connection of a laptop or PC. For connecting more traditional analogue sources like an FM tuner, there are three RCA phono inputs available.
Sleek style & premium build quality
The Arcam A25 boasts a sleek, attractive design without distracting from the sound. Build quality is exceptional, an all-aluminium casing with satin black finish and solid aluminium backlit dials give a luxurious 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 LS50 Meta
Great loudspeakers disappear, leaving just the music. LS50 Meta is such a loudspeaker. The incredibly immersive sound means you lose yourself in your favourite music. Savouring every nuance as layer upon layer of instrumentation is delivered with exceptional acoustic accuracy anywhere in the room.
Designed for performance
LS50 Meta may look sensational, but as a high-performance loudspeaker every aspect of its design is a case of form following function. From the precision modelled curved baffle to the solid, reinforced cabinet, every inch of LS50 Meta has been designed to perform.
Metamaterial Absorption Technology
A truly revolutionary tool in the KEF acoustic armoury, Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted sound from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and thereby providing the most accurate, immersive sound possible.
Every spot is the sweet spot
LS50 Meta features the latest 12th generation Uni-Q driver. Using advanced simulation and analysis tools, KEF’s engineers developed the 12th generation Uni-Q driver with MAT. This new driver array delivers reduced coloration, less distortion and a sound that is more transparent and life-like than previously possible, all dispersed evenly throughout the room.
Curved for performance
LS50 Meta’s low-diffraction, curved baffle is precision modelled around the Uni-Q driver array. Its smooth curved surfaces help radiate sound out across the baffle without any interference from hard edges, which cause diffraction. The result is cleaner, more precise sound.
LS50 Meta are available in a choice of 4 stylish colours including carbon black, titanium grey, mineral white and royal blue.
Package includes a Free 3m pair of pre-terminated Chord C-screenX speaker cables (see below)
