Product Information
The flagship Arcam A25 delivers truly powerful sound, the widest range of connectivity and luxury styling to create an amplifier that’s packed full of talent.

Talented in every area
The Arcam A25 features the company’s unique Class G amplifier for incredibly powerful and efficient sound. It’s also Arcam’s best-connected amplifier, with a wide range of inputs including a USB-C interface that’s exclusive to the A25 model. An all-aluminium casing, with backlit aluminium dials gives this amp the luxury aesthetic to match its premium sound quality.

Power and control from the Class-G amp
Drawing on over 45 years’ experience in amps, Arcam have set a new class standard for sound quality. Using a unique Class-G amplifier gives the A25 generous power and incredibly low distortion. With 100 watts per channel, this is Arcam’s most powerful Radia amplifier. This means deep, powerful bass and punchy sound, even in larger rooms and with low efficiency speakers.

Perfectly balanced sound
With new components and materials, the sound quality is cleaner and more precise, while still retaining the smooth and richly detailed sonic signature that has made Arcam so popular over the past decades.

A treat for your turntable
Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A25’s built-in phono stage makes a top quality connection for your turntable. Suited to turntables with MM (Moving Magnet) cartridges, the high spec phono stage draws a deep seam of information from your vinyl, letting you hear subtle details from the music that might previously have been missed.

Hi-Res sound via USB-C input
Unique to the A25 model, this Arcam amplifier features a USB-C input. Connect laptop, PC or Mac and enjoy Hi-Res music streaming to the highest quality standards. Using an upgraded ESS DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the A25 supports DSD (Direct Stream Digital) for the widest choice of Hi-Res music format support.

Stream from your smartphone in Hi-Res audio
For simple yet high quality music streaming, the A15 features Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. When used with a compatible source device, this delivers up to 24-bit Hi-Res music streaming, giving you better than CD-quality, from a wireless connection.

Connect your headphones – Bluetooth or wired
The A25 welcomes all types of headphones, however they connect. Two-way Bluetooth connectivity lets you pair the amp with your Bluetooth headphones, giving you the freedom of movement that only wireless connectivity brings. Alternatively, the A25 also has a facia-mounted headphone socket for any type of wired headphones.

Connect all your digital and analogue sources
Featuring a premium quality, built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the A25 optimises the sound from your digital audio sources. USB-C, two coaxial and one optical input let you connect your computer, TV, games console and digital music source. For analogue sources, such as an FM tuner, there are also three RCA phono inputs.

Sleek new style
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the A25 looks slicker than any previous Arcam amp. With just two dials and subtle illumination, the amp strikes the perfect balance in catching the eye without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing includes the volume and input dials, giving a high quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.

Enjoy Arcam’s ultimate sound quality, with the A25.

”Arcam is back and this player is a true mid-price champion.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 Product of the Year.

No frills, just great quality sound

The Arcam CD5 uses the highest quality components to deliver top quality sound, without the frills. The high quality electronics also facilitate the playback of Hi-Res audio encoded discs or playback via the USB-A input. As part of Arcam’s Radia range, the sleek style and all-aluminium construction, makes this one of the most stylish Arcam CD players to date.

Premium quality ESS DAC for dynamic and detailed sound
At the heart of this quality CD player is an ESS 9018 DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). Used in conjunction with high precision, custom designed components, it delivers sensational sound quality. The Arcam extracts every ounce of detail from your CD collection, with the lowest levels of distortion, giving an exceptionally clean and dynamic sound – perfect for hearing your music collection at its very best.

Hi-Res audio playback
Compatible with FLAC and WAV encoded CDs, the player is also suitable for Hi-Res music playback. Alternatively, connect to the USB-A interface and play your stored Hi-Res music files. Supporting WAV and FLAC files up to 24 bit/96kHz, it’s a great way to maximise the player’s full sonic potential.

Connects to all types of systems
A trio of outputs make the CD5 easy to connect to a wide range of different systems. Use the digital optical or coaxial for connection to an AV receiver or high quality digital amplifier. For amplifiers with no digital input, connect via the analogue RCA outputs.

Sleek new style
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the CD5 looks slicker than any previous Arcam CD player. With just six buttons and a subtle display, the CD player strikes the perfect balance in catching the eye without distracting from the sound. The all-aluminium casing with rounded edges exudes a high quality look and feel. A compact remote control is also included.

Optimise the sound from all your CDs and Hi-Res stored music files, with the Arcam CD5.

Flexible network streaming has rarely sounded so good, than with the Arcam ST5.

The perfect partner for your A5 or A15 amplifier
The Arcam ST5 is a slimline, feature-packed network streamer that makes the perfect match for Arcam’s A5 and A15 amplifiers. Although the ST5 works within almost any system, link it to an A5 or A15 and you not only get matching aesthetics, but also a link control that lets the two components act as one. Unlike amplifiers with built-in network streaming, the two-box Arcam solution uses separate power supplies and individually shielded cases for improved sound quality and reduced distortion.

Signature Arcam sound
Who better to buy your next streamer from than a company with decades of experience working within the digital domain? As one of the first UK manufacturers to introduce a CD player and the very first to produce a separate DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), Arcam have unparalleled expertise in the field. Utilising a premium quality ESS DAC, with time domain jitter elimination, the ST5 easily lives up Arcam’s high standards. Expect rich and full-bodied sound that’s packed with detail.

App control for Internet radio and your choice of streaming service
Use app control to access a wide variety of popular music streaming services, including Amazon Music and Qobuz. The app also lets you access Internet radio stations and podcasts from around the world, opening up near unlimited entertainment.

Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast
With support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast, the ST5 works equally as well with Apple and Android devices. Connect to your home system via wi-fi or Ethernet and effortlessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet and laptop.

Play directly from Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect
As well as connecting via AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, the ST5 also connects directly to Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect (premium accounts required). This lets you use their dedicated apps and enjoy the full experience from these music streaming market leaders.

Roon Ready and MQA support
Compatible with Hi-Res music files, the ST5 is ideal for playing back premium quality audio. MQA support means that you’ll get optimal quality sound from Tidal’s HiFi Plus service plan. Roon Ready ensures that the ST5 can be incorporated into a Hi-Res, multiroom music system via Roon’s award-winning platform.

Connects to all types of systems
A trio of outputs make the ST5 easy to connect to a wide range of different systems. Use the digital optical or coaxial for connection to an AV receiver or high quality digital amplifier. For amplifiers with no digital input, connect via the analogue RCA outputs.

Sleek new style
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the ST5 looks far more sophisticated than most typical network music streamers. The all-aluminium casing with rounded edges exudes a high quality look and feel. At just 5.8cm tall, the slimline design also fits neatly where bulkier devices won’t.

Introduce feature-rich, high quality streaming to your system, with the Arcam ST5.

Supreme all-round ability makes the flagship Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 speakers incredibly effective with all types of music and home cinema sound.

Flagship speakers with mighty sound
As the largest speakers in the range, the Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 are ideal for rooms that are more spacious. With their wide frequency response and deep bass, they also make the perfect speakers for listening to everything from stadium rock to full-scale orchestral music. Add centre and smaller speakers from the 600 S3 Series and you can create a stunning home cinema speaker system – with tonally matched sound right the way around your room.

The best just keeps getting better
For around 30 years, Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series speakers have been at the top of their class. Even before the latest S3 speakers were announced, the previous version were still considered amongst the best in their category. With technology derived from the 700 Series, however, the latest 600 Series S3 speakers move the game on to an entirely new level.

Titanium tweeter for scintillating treble detail
Featuring an all-new titanium domed tweeter, the 603 S3 takes a big step up in top-end detail and refinement. Using materials and technologies from the 700 Series, the more advanced driver teases out detail that could easily be missed with other speakers. Using a tube-loading system, the tweeter is further isolated from cabinet resonances, reducing distortion to vanishingly low levels.

Continuum mid-range cone for incredible realism
First developed for Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship 800 Series, the Continuum woofer design shows exceptional ability for this class of speaker. Improvements to the S3 include a more powerful, lower distortion motor assembly. This further enhances the already impressive vocal response and helps keep the timing fast-paced and foot-tappingly rhythmic.

The power to impress
With not one but two bass cones per speaker, the 603 S3 delivers a deep, powerful bass. As this is a 3-way speaker, the woofers are dedicated to bass, meaning they can concentrate on the bottom end of business, without having to reproduce critical mid-range information, such as vocals. In effect, this means they act as a separate subwoofer, dropping the bass to window-rattling levels.

Better on the inside, still handsome on the outside
The 603 S3’s sleek good looks remain largely as before, but inside the cabinet there’s been extensive improvements. Upgraded electronics promote a more transparent and open sound, while the cabinet itself has a new bass port design and is stiffer, both of which reduce resonance.

Choose your finish
Always one of the more attractive speakers in its class, Bowers & Wilkins didn’t need to change the timeless style. All that’s left is for you to choose between one of three distinct finishes. Matte black is the classic choice with the all-white version providing a lighter option. For a more traditional style, go for the oak finish with light baffle.

Enjoy your music’s full dynamic potential, with the Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3.
