Arcam A5+ with Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 (2025 Model)

It was back in the mid-1970s when Doug Brady introduced the very first amplifier from Arcam – then known as A&R Cambridge – the A60. This iconic model featured prominently in many of our magazine advertisements at the time. The Arcam A5 continued that legacy with great success, earning a reputation for performance and reliability. Naturally, expectations are high for its successor, the Arcam A5+, which is set to carry the torch forward.

Whether you're streaming music, spinning records, or connecting traditional hi-fi components, the A5+ guarantees superb sound quality across all sources. It's a modern integrated amplifier that stays true to Arcam’s longstanding dedication to precision audio and elegant design.

The Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3

With its compact size the Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3 2-Way Bookshelf Speaker produces a clean and precise sound using a 1" decoupled double dome titanium tweeter and 5" continuum cone midrange/bass driver. Sound that offers smooth high frequencies and precision voice and instrument reproduction. Even at its smaller size, the pair of speakers are capable of filling a small to medium sized room. 

Features

• Compact form with powerful and scaled sound.
• New Titanium Dome tweeter for exceptional resolution and smooth high-frequency reproduction.
• Acoustically transparent tweeter grille mesh for enhanced realism and detail.
• Continuum bass/midrange cone for accuracy and transparency.
• Upgraded speaker terminals for improved signal path.

Layered, beautiful details

The new 607 S3 introduces the Titanium Dome tweeter, which combines exceptional resolution and insight with smooth, refined high-frequency reproduction. The result? An accurate and immersive insight into your favourite music.

Precision and transparency

Thanks to its composite construction, the Continuum cone avoids the abrupt transitions in behavior that can impair the performance of a conventional drive unit. With 607 S3, experience a more open, neutral performance that delivers voices and instruments with precision and transparency.

Upgraded speaker terminals

Derived from the speaker terminals recently introduced in our 700 Series range, the speaker terminals on the new 607 S3 feature an improved layout and a cleaner signal path between your amplifier and your loudspeakers.

You can also take your listening experience to new heights by placing these speakers on the Bowers & Wilkins FS-600 S3 Speaker Stands (sold separately) to reduce vibrations and improve the soundstage.
