Arcam A15 + Neat Motive SX3 + Cables

Choosing your System 

As you progress through the amplifier range, you’ll notice an increase in power output, resulting in enhanced control over your speakers. This allows for louder volumes with reduced harshness, leading to a smoother and more enjoyable listening experience. Greater power translates to tighter bass and improved clarity, with better separation and stereo imaging. The sound will feel more holographic and 3D. 

For optimal performance based on room size, we recommend the following speakers:

• Small-Medium Sized Rooms: Neat Motive SX3 Bookshelf Speakers
• Small-Medium-Sized Rooms: Neat Motive SX2 Floorstanding Speakers 
• Medium or Larger Sized Rooms: Neat Motive SX1 Floorstanding Speakers

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 A5 has a lot to live up to.

With its wide range of connectivity, sleek style and richly detailed sound, the Arcam A5 continues this success story. From a turntable to a TV and even taking in your smartphone via Bluetooth HD, this Arcam plays it all.

Painstakingly developed, the Arcam A5 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.

A treat for your turntable

Much more than just a box-ticking exercise, the Arcam A5’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 A5 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. 

Exceptional Sound Quality and Versatile Use

In line with Neat’s previous stand mount models, the Motive SX3 redefines sound quality expectations for its size and price. Perfect for smaller spaces or as rear speakers in a multi-channel system, the SX3 delivers an open, strikingly clear sound with faithful dynamics and a focused stereo image. Its two-way bass reflex configuration, with the port positioned at the bottom of the rear panel, enhances its performance in any setup.

Despite its compact and elegant design, the Motive SX3 impresses with its agility, astonishing bass, and beautifully open midrange. The speaker features an upgraded tweeter with a large screened magnet assembly and a 25mm inverted anodized aluminum dome, a component typically found in more expensive high-end loudspeakers. This exceptional inclusion underscores the Motive SX3’s superior design and sound quality.
