Description

Arcam A25 + KEF R3 Meta + Chord C-screenX Cables

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 R3 Meta Speakers

Decades of experience and KEFs unbridled passion for music come together in the R Series. Combining innovations from the Reference Series with bespoke technologies the new R Series delivers more detail, deeper insight and greater excitement.

R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speakers’ performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It features a 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass driver that pushes performance to new extremes.

KEF’s quest for music perfection demands constant innovation. This is as true now as it was when KEF was founded in 1961. KEF's portfolio of acoustic design patents and innovations is unequalled. This drive for perfection is the reason the new KEF R Series features five major technological advances, many of which are derived from and inspired by the class-leading Reference Series. Innovations cover the whole audio spectrum and the entire loudspeaker, with developments ranging from a new version of the legendary Uni-Q driver to improved cabinet construction and refinements to other acoustically vital elements.

Beautiful by design

Great design is timeless. KEF’s designers seek to create deceptively simple, elegant loudspeakers. While the drive unit arrangement is rightfully driven by acoustic, rather than aesthetic considerations, each loudspeaker is visually appealing without resorting to brash styling.

Understated design is complemented by carefully selected finishes. Conceived to be at home in either traditional or modern interiors, the R3 Series comes in a choice of three exceptionally sleek gloss finishes or a classic wood veneer. These finishes go deeper than just a base colour. Each speaker benefits from KEF’s tone-on-tone approach to design where the tweeter dome, driver cones, feet, spikes and KEF logo are tone matched to the finish.

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