Arcam A15 + Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3

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
