The Arcam integrated amplifier A15 has the signature Arcam sound. Like the more affordable A5, the A15 retains the signature Arcam sound; it is full-bodied and smooth but delivers greater clarity of sound with more power, scale, and precision. Boasting 60% more power than the A5 model, Arcam’s A15 takes music dynamics to the next level, and paired with the PMC Prodigy5 floorstanding speakers, you will get improved separation and control of the audio dynamics. 

As well as sustaining higher volume levels, the A15 with the PMC Prodigy5 will also deliver a deeper, richer sound at all volume levels.

The Arcam A15 uses a powerful, 80-watt amplifier to make all types of music sound effortless and intensive. For even greater appeal, the amp has a wide range of analog, digital, and wireless HD connectivity, making it easy to include all your music sources. But that’s not all. Stunning new aesthetics make this amp stand out from the crowd, with a striking design that shines above its rivals.

The PMC Prodigy5 floorstanding speakers are compact yet powerful, occupying no more space than bookshelf speakers on stands due to their small footprint. It can fill even larger rooms with weighty, crisply defined music. This exceptional speaker combines a sweet, open treble with wide dispersion, offering a vast listening 'sweet spot' with excellent focus. 

The ideal amp for all your music

With a heritage that stretches back to 1976, Arcam’s amplifiers have always been amongst the best in their class for balancing sound with features.

It was way back in the mid 1970s when Doug Brady showcased the first amplifier from Arcam (A&R Cambridge as the company was called then) the A60 which featured in many of our magazine adverts. Since then Arcam has produced many well regarded amplifiers, so the new Arcam A15 has a lot to live up to.

With its wide range of connectivity, sleek style and richly detailed sound, the Arcam A15 continues this success story. From a turntable to a TV and even taking in your smartphone via Bluetooth HD, this Arcam plays it all.

Perfectly balanced sound

Painstakingly developed, the Arcam A15 features a highly optimised Class AB amplifier. 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. As well as delivering more power than the A5 model, the A15 also produces lower distortion, giving you a more natural and true-to-life sound.

Ample power

Outputting 80 watts per channel, the A15 has ample power to drive most speakers in a typical living room environment. With vanishingly low levels of distortion, it maintains higher volume levels without sounding strained or harsh.

A treat for your turntable

Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A15’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.

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 such as tablets, phones or PC, this delivers up to 24-bit Hi-Res music streaming, giving you better than CD-quality, from a wireless connection. 

Inside the Prodigy5

A cornerstone of PMC's legendary natural, uncolored sound is the Advanced Transmission Line (ATL) bass-loading. ATL uses energy generated by the bass unit more intelligently and efficiently than traditional ported or sealed box designs. The Laminair airflow technology further enhances ATL, improving definition, timing, and eliminating unwanted air noise.

A Speaker That Blends into the Room

The PMC Prodigy5 floorstanding speaker is compact yet powerful, occupying no more space than bookshelf speakers on stands due to its small footprint. It can fill even larger rooms with weighty, crisply defined music. This exceptional speaker combines a sweet, open treble with wide dispersion, offering a vast listening 'sweet spot' with excellent focus. It also delivers transparent, natural vocals and instrumental sound with a solid, uncolored bottom end. Designed to showcase the quality of your high-end electronics, the slender Prodigy5 blends seamlessly into any space, with optional grilles for a more discreet appearance.

Testimonials

Bought some Rega Kyte speakers, stands and chords from DB online and they were incredibly helpful. They updated my delivery address very quickly and recommended a longer cut of cables which they did complimentary. They also noticed I didn’t order with banana plugs so called me back to double check, which I did mean to order. When i had some issues connecting my cables and speakers, I called for some advice which they happily gave. Excellent service and next day delivery to London. Thoroughly recommend.

Probably one of the best companies in the world. They had to special order in the speakers which took a fair bit of time, which is totally understandable, but they kept in touch with me throughout the entire time with updates (even on a Sunday!!!) and once the speakers were with them, they were dispatched and arrived next day.

The entire sound system that I purchased is insanely good, but still not as good as Doug Brady HiFi!

Guy H.

I have recently purchased a HiFi package with Doug Brady and I could not be more thrilled with my experience with them.
When I walked into the store, I was made to feel welcome and was introduced to some of the products. I produces a list of specific items I was interested in and John was really helpful in showing me these items. He set the system up so I could experience it, he made some suggestions which made the package even better. Nothing seemed too much trouble for him, he was very knowledgeable about the products and gave great advice. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything, or didn't feel that he was upselling at any point. I left with an amazing package and I'd like to thank John and the team for the fantastic experience.

Kaylay L.

It’s now two weeks since I bought home my new system and I wanted to say thanks again for all your help, advice and guidance, not to mention cups of tea. I now have a system that meets all my requirements and sounds fantastic. Special thanks to Jon, who I hope is on the road to recovery from his operation and to Roger, who helped me finalise my choice. The Rega Saturn, Hegel H190V and Dali Rubicon 2 is undoubtedly the best system I have ever owned.
