A Room Filling Sound

The Arcam A15 integrated amplifier is celebrated for its signature Arcam sound—rich, smooth, and immersive. Building on the success of the A5, the A15 offers even greater clarity, power, scale, and precision. With 60% more power than the A5, the A15 elevates music dynamics to a whole new level.

Delivering 80 watts of power, the Arcam A15 effortlessly drives Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 speakers.

The 603 S3 floorstanding speakers provide outstanding high-end clarity and detail. With dual bass units, these speakers deliver enhanced bass and weight for those who prefer a robust sound. As a 3-way speaker, the dedicated woofers focus exclusively on bass, ensuring that mid-range details like vocals remain clear and uncoloured.

In larger rooms, this combination effortlessly fills the space with your favorite tunes. The detail, separation, and stereo imaging become more pronounced, resulting in an open and full sound. With the Arcam A15, you can enjoy your music at higher volumes without harshness or noise, ensuring a superb listening experience.

Layered, beautiful details

Precision and transparency

Bowers & Wilkins Continuum cone

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.

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.

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.

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.

James F.

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.
