A System With a Motive

Experience the hallmark Arcam sound with the Arcam A5 integrated amplifier, renowned for its full-bodied, smooth audio profile enriched with heightened clarity in the higher frequencies. Designed with a fresh aesthetic and innovative amplification technology, the A5 delivers 50 watts of power, making it ideal for smaller to medium-sized rooms.

Complementing the Arcam A5, the Neat Motive SX2 floorstanding speakers are a compact marvel at just 76cm tall, offering sound quality that belies their size. They seamlessly blend into any room with elegance while delivering robust bass and an expansive midrange. The detailed soundstage from these speakers is truly impressive, making them a perfect match for medium-sized rooms.

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.

Perfectly balanced sound

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

At only 76cm high, the Motive SX2 is an exceptionally compact floorstanding speaker designed for those seeking the musical performance of a Neat floorstander without dominating their living space. This loudspeaker features a two-way configuration, with the bass/midrange driver and tweeter operating within separate enclosures. The bass reflex port is located on the bottom panel of the cabinet and vents through an outlet in the stylishly sculpted MDF plinth, ensuring efficient airflow and enhanced bass response.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Motive SX2 delivers astonishing bass and beautifully open midrange. The tweeter, an upgraded unit used throughout the Motive SX range, boasts a massive screened magnet assembly and a 25mm inverted anodized aluminum dome. This high-quality tweeter, typically found in more expensive high-end loudspeakers, offers exceptional clarity and detail, making it a standout feature of the Motive SX2.
