Product Information
Dedicated to sonic precision, with generous cinematic power on tap, the Arcam AVA25 satisfies like few others with music and movies alike.
Expand your home cinema horizons
The Arcam AVA25 delivers the next step up in powerful, premium home cinema sound. Delivering 100 watts per channel (at 8 ohms) from its Class AB amplifier, it has both the audio resolution and power to impress. Ideal for medium-sized to larger rooms, the AVA25 is perfect for when you don’t want to compromise on power and precision. Coming from this highly renowned audio company, the AVA25 is also superb with stereo sound, too. Listen to 2-channel music and the power swells to a mighty 125 watts per channel (8 ohms)
Your choice of surround sound configuration
Featuring nine powered channels, the AVA25 gives you a wide choice of speaker configurations. Choose between 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos speaker configurations with two or four ceiling speakers. Alternatively, stick with 5.1.2 and power a second pair of speakers in another room or bi-amp your main pair of speakers. As your system grows, so the capability of this Arcam AVA grows with it.
Processing for up to 16 channels for even more immersive sound
For the ultimate in sound immersion, this Arcam AVA offers processing for up to 16 channels. Add additional power amps and you’ll be able to decode Dolby Atmos and DTS:X signals, right up to 9.1.6 – enough for the largest home cinemas. For best results, pair with matching Arcam power amps.
Unique Dirac systems for sound that’s tailored to your room
Dirac Live Room Correction uses sophisticated technology to get the perfect sound for your room. Using a microphone and dedicated software, it takes multiple readings around your room, feeding the information back to the amplifier for a completely bespoke response (professional set-up recommended). You can take Dirac to the next level by upgrading to Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment*.

Your choice of immersive 3D sound
Whatever speaker configuration you decide upon, the AVA25 has a surround format to suit. Compatible formats include Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation, DTS:X, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D. This huge range of options means you can adapt your surround sound speaker system from the simplest system with ‘virtual height’ speakers to multi-channel systems that truly bring the cinema home.
Radia 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. For even more music, the app lets you access Internet radio stations and podcasts from around the world, opening up near unlimited entertainment. If you want to stream from your own network, the app also facilitates UPnP (Universal Plug n Play) playback from iOS and Android devices.
Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and all the ‘Connects’
With support for Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, the AVA25 works equally as well with Apple and Android devices. As well as connecting via AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, the AVA25 also connects directly to Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Qobuz Connect (premium accounts required). This lets you use their dedicated apps and enjoy the full experience from these music streaming market leaders.
Advanced Bluetooth connectivity, including Auracast
Extending wireless Bluetooth connectivity to its limits, the AVA25 features Bluetooth 5.4 with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast compatibility. This means that you can stream lossless audio, wirelessly via Bluetooth from your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer. Auracast facilitates wireless connectivity with compatible headphones and speakers.
Enhanced compatibility for movie fans and gamers
Upgrading on previous Arcam receivers, the AVA25 features seven, 8K compatible HDMI inputs and twin outputs. They support 8K pass-through, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and eARC (Zone 1, Output 1), making them ideal for connecting an 8K TV. As well as suiting 8K TVs, the advanced HDMI 2.1a interface also helps give your gaming a boost. This facilitates a range of features, including 4K/120Hz HDR pass-through for ultra-fast motion. VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) eliminates lag, stutter, and frame-tearing for fluid gameplay. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) optimises latency from source to screen.
Ease of use, including Bluetooth remote control and large display
For decisive control, wherever you are in the room, the AVA25 is supplied with a Bluetooth remote control. This means that you don’t need to be in line of sight of the AVA for remote commands. The large, high-resolution colour display provides crisp and clear status and metadate information, even when viewed from a distance.
Stylish design
As part of Arcam’s Radia series, the AVA25 boasts timeless style. With its minimal button count 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 dial, giving a high quality look and feel.
Enjoy cinematic power and precision, in perfect harmony, with the Arcam AVA25.
