Meet the Arcam A5+ Integrated Amplifier with Bluetooth and Auracast
For sharing intimate listening experiences with family and friends
The "A" in ARCAM stands for amplification, where their expertise lies. The A5+ is the latest in nearly 50 years of amplifier design and manufacture, dating back to our first product in 1976 —the A&R Cambridge A60 amplifier.
Since the launch of the award-winning ARCAM Radia A5, the clever Engineers at Arcam haven't rested, they've pushed further to create the ARCAM A5+, an even better sounding and more versatile integrated amplifier.
The A5+ features an enhanced power supply design and cutting-edge wireless capabilities straight out of the box. Snapdragon Sound delivers uncompressed digital audio via Bluetooth, while Auracast enables multiple compatible headphones or speakers to share music wirelessly, with no pairing required.
With a wide array of digital and analogue inputs, including a meticulously tuned phono stage, the A5+ ensures impeccable sound quality for everything from vinyl to streaming.

Meet the Q1 Meta
Compact Bookshelf speakers from KEF
The successors to KEF's renowned, award-winning HiFi speaker range, the Q Series has evolved once more in its 9th iteration since 1991. Now incorporating the revolutionary Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™) and a suite of innovative acoustic technology derived from their flagship HiFi speakers, high fidelity sound is more accessible than ever.
Leveraging the latest 12th generation Uni-Q driver array and cutting-edge analysis techniques, the Q Series has been carefully fine-tuned. This includes a crossover redesign that refines the signal path response for a more natural, detailed sound.
The result is a comprehensive line-up of eight speakers that can be easily tailored to your space and desired set up. Whether for stereo music or multi-channel home cinema, the Q Series offers a solution for everyone.
About the Q Meta Series
The Answer is always in the Q
Metamaterial Absorption Technology
The crucial advancement in the Q Series is the integration of Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT™). MAT is a highly complex maze-like structure that absorbs 99% of the unwanted noise from the rear of the driver, eliminating the resulting distortion and providing a purer more natural sound.
Uni-Q® - Sit anywhere, hear every detail
A 12th generation Uni-Q® driver array with MAT™ is found in all eight models of the Q Series. Uni-Q® acts as a single point source to disperse sound more evenly through the room, allowing everybody, wherever they are in the room, to enjoy the same natural, detailed sound for an immersive entertainment experience.
Speaker Performance
The evolved Q Series has been upgraded from a 2.5-way to a 3-way system design which ensures precise separation of high, mid, and low frequencies. This updated configuration significantly improves detail and clarity, bringing your music and movies to life.
Deep, Clean Bass
The Q Series features a hybrid bass driver design that provides stiffness to achieve a piston-like movement for better bass punch and speed. Combined with a port modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), this results in precise and agile bass management even at high output levels.
Redefined Crossover
A critical component of the Q series is the refined crossover, which ensures seamless integration of all speaker parts. More than 1,000 specific measurements are taken for each speaker model, allowing precise signal path and optimisation for best possible performance.
Shadow Flare
Derived from the flagship models, Shadow Flare is a carefully profiled transition that extends the waveguide effect of Uni-Q. This design reduces unwanted cabinet diffraction, allowing the treble to escape naturally without reaching the cabinet edges. The result is vastly improved fine detail reproduction.
