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
A Harmony of Power and Precision
The Arcam A25 integrated amplifier, part of the new Arcam Radia range, delivers 100 Watts of Class G amplification, ensuring low distortion and superior control as well as louder volumes. It supports AptX Bluetooth for 24-bit Hi-Res wireless streaming and offers multiple inputs for seamless connectivity. With a 5th generation Class G amplifier design, the A25 provides cleaner, more precise sound while maintaining Arcam's smooth, richly detailed sonic profile, enhancing clarity, power, scale, and precision.
The Neat Motive SX3 speakers, known for their extremely compact design, deliver an open, exciting, and strikingly clear sound with faithful dynamics and a focused stereo image. When paired with the Arcam A25, this combination brings out even more detail and nuance in your audio. The reproduction and control of various frequencies are enhanced across all volume levels, offering a wide, open soundstage and a truly immersive listening experience.
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.

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.
