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.

An all-aluminium casing, with backlit aluminium dials gives this amp the luxury aesthetic to match its premium sound quality.

Perfectly balanced sound

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.

A treat for your turntable

Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A25’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.

Hi-Res Audio with USB-C and Bluetooth Connectivity

Unique to the A25, this Arcam amplifier features a USB-C input, allowing you to connect a laptop, PC, or Mac for Hi-Res music streaming with superior quality. Its upgraded ESS DAC supports DSD for diverse Hi-Res music formats. Additionally, the A25 includes Bluetooth with Qualcomm AptX Adaptive technology, enabling up to 24-bit Hi-Res wireless music streaming from compatible devices for better-than-CD quality.

Versatile Connectivity with the A25 Amplifier

The A25 amplifier supports both Bluetooth and wired headphones, offering flexible connectivity options. Its two-way Bluetooth connectivity allows pairing with Bluetooth headphones for wireless freedom, while a front-mounted headphone socket accommodates any wired headphones.

The A25 optimizes digital audio sources with a high-quality built-in DAC. It features a variety of inputs, including USB-C, two coaxial, and one optical input, making it easy to connect your computer, TV, games console, and digital music sources. Additionally, it supports analog sources with three RCA phono inputs, ensuring compatibility with devices like FM tuners.

The KEF R3 Meta redefines bookshelf speakers’ performance. Sharing the same drivers as the range-topping R11 Meta, the R3 Meta is a true three-way design. It has a 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ and a powerful 6.5” hybrid aluminium bass driver that pushes performance to new extremes.

The R Series is a direct beneficiary of the technological innovations developed for The Reference, the class-leading series that continually set the benchmark for loudspeakers and sound reproduction. Combining with bespoke technologies, the R Series delivers an exceptional acoustic performance. The revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology1 (MATTM) has been incorporated into the latest iteration of the R Series, and the 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array has been refined to maximise the impact of this technological advance and ensure the best possible performance.

Superior KEF sound

A bespoke 12th generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT is found in all seven models of the R Series and delivers an incredibly detailed performance. It’s the result of decades of accumulated in-house knowledge and the application of cutting-edge simulation and analysis tools. The developments are many and all play a part in R Series’ exceptional performance.

The result is an exceptional seven-model range of loudspeakers, engineered to deliver with exquisite detail and incredible insight. Whether your taste lies with traditional two-channel HiFi, multi-channel home theatre or both, the R Series reveals levels of detail that must be heard to be believed.

Deep, agile bass

Bass is a vital element of performance, and the low-frequency drivers of R Series have been engineered with acute care and precision. They are built using a two-part structure, where a shallow concave aluminium skin sits atop a paper cone. This stiffness combined with the cone’s unique geometry reduces unwanted resonances and delivers the pistonic movement that makes these drivers time so well. The drivers’ magnet system creates a broad, uniform magnetic field, while the suspension reduces harmonic distortion for a clean, precise sound. The result is exceptionally deep and agile bass that reveals every last bit of detail and punch available in the deep.

Features

• Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MATTM) eliminates 99% of high-frequency distortion for pure, natural sound
• Bespoke 12th generation Uni-Q with MAT driver array for exceptional acoustic accuracy
• Refined tweeter gap damper tames resonances for improved detail
• Flexible Decoupling Chassis prevents unwanted vibrations for better clarity
• Enhanced crossover design and fine-tuned the signal path for pristine, clean sound
