Arcam A5 Integrated Amplifier
Quality + Connectivity = Accessible Hi-Fi
The ARCAM A5 is for those intimate listening experiences with your favourite music.
With a history spanning more than 45 years in amplifier design, ARCAM's core competence lies in amplification, as demonstrated by their latest product, the A5. Every component and material used has been carefully evaluated to guarantee exceptional sound quality, building upon their first product, the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier, released in 1976.
So you can play music straight out of the box, the ARCAM A5 includes a Bluetooth solution with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology. This provides up to 24-bit HD audio for the best sound quality from your phone or tablet, no matter what you are playing.
The A5 also connects to Bluetooth headphones, so your listening experience can continue sensitively after dark.
High-res audio is included, along with high-resolution digital audio inputs.
Like any ARCAM integrated amplifier, we pay particular attention to the built-in phono stage to ensure your records sound as lush and engaging as possible.
Product Features
Music remains tuneful and articulate even when the A1 is positioned close to a wall or in a small room. The A1 is easy to drive and it brings out the best from your amplifier.
The goal of high-end loudspeakers is to deliver a clear, transparent sound. This is precisely so the infinitely subtle shades, tones and colours of the music itself can shine through, free of distortion, interruption and compromise.
We all experience music in a unique and personal way. It is an intense, immersive experience that engages the emotions and intellect, as well as the senses. Spendor loudspeakers reveal these details and subtleties that open new windows on the performance, and transform the way you connect with music – they bring music vibrantly to life.
