It drove three very different speaker loads with effortless, grainless, tone-truthful aplomb—like a first-quality power amplifier costing several times its $1499 asking price. For that, it earned an A+. It also drove three headphone loads with exceptional ease and clarity. That forced me to give it another A+." - Herb Reichert   Arcam Radia A25 Integrated Amplifier Review - Read More "With the new A25, Arcam has nailed the brief and delivered a highly competent integrated amplifier with broad appeal. The Radia styling enhances its look and feel, and the handy features make using it all the more pleasant.

" - Mark Gusew   Arcam Radia A25 Integrated Amplifier–DAC - Read More "If you don’t need the network connectivity—say you’ve got all the sources you need and you’re perfectly happy with slightly quieter Bluetooth for your wireless connection needs—there’s so much to love here. If this is an indication of where Arcam is headed, I’m legitimately excited, if only because it means more people will be exposed to this beloved brand. " - Dennis Burger   Arcam Radia A25 Integrated Amplifier Review - Read More "The A25 is business as usual for Arcam but that business is not an unchanging one. What Arcam has done is take a formula that’s been working well for over thirty years; build electronics that offer strong all round performance in a wide variety of use cases. What the A25 does so effectively is broaden that use case and reduce the number of times where less broadly accomplished rivals score wins in specific areas. This is not the out and out best amplifier available for £1,500 and it’s important to also bear in mind that there are more all in one based systems available as well that reduce the need for source equipment still further. What the A25 is though is a third way; a largely self- contained device that still plays nice with others. This will be the balance that many people need and Arcam knows this. For this reason, the A25 comes enthusiastically Recommended." - Ed Selley   Arcam A25 and ST5 Stereo System Review - Read More "With so many high-resolution streaming services available, you owe it to yourself to listen to a combination of components that bring out the best in music. You and your music deserve better. Dust off those speakers, pull them out of the back recesses of your music listening room, set up the Arcam A25 and ST5, and sit back and enjoy. It’s well worth it " - Leslie Shapiro   Arcam Radia A25 - Read More "If you are looking for an amp that will support multiple inputs across different connection types, do justice to all of them and look very tidy while it does it, the A25 is where you should start looking. Arcam’s all things to all people approach is as successful as ever.  " - Ed Selley   Arcam RADIA A25 Integrated Amplifier: The Audiophile System Builder - Read More "The more I listen to the ARCAM A25, the greater I appreciate its sense of drive, clarity, spaciousness, and strong control of the bass range. " - Ian White     Review Arcam Radia A25 amplifier and ST5 streamer: a new start with Class G - Read More " Arcam has done a great job with the Radia family as a whole. The aim was to create something that would appeal to a wider audience – and in that mission it has certainly succeeded. They have also opted for a good mix of connectivity, with a decent phono input and a good-sounding Bluetooth section. The latter is a smart move. Incorporating WiFi streaming would perhaps have required more compromises, while there is now a way to stream in reasonable quality that will appeal to many people. Those who want more can opt for the ST5, which offers good quality and many options." - Jamie Biesemans   Review: ARCAM Radia Series – A25 & ST5 – High-end for a mid-fi price - Read More "What is missing is the large universal app, with which everything can be done and is within reach. On the other hand, it is a very flexible system, which you can control in the way that suits you. In practice, no one will use all these possibilities. Consumers will opt for a workflow that is tailored to their use. The phono input on the A25 is an important unique selling point. Vinyl is the medium of today and for the future. ARCAM is also responding to the revival of the CD with a beautiful drive within the Radia Series. In any case, here you have high-end for a mid-fi price. It really makes you happy.
