"Arcam's new stereo amp offers terrific bang for your buck"
Wharfedale Diamond 9.1
"One of the greatest budget loudspeakers ever, the 9.1s deliver a quality-laden performance...the 9.1s also look and feel like far more expensive speakers. Forget the bog-standard box design commonly used for budget boxes – these elegant standmounts boast curved, braced cabinets, cranking aesthetic appeal up a notch, and also helping reduce unwanted cabinet vibrations and dissipate any standing waves produced by the mid/bass driver."
The Arcam A5 Integrated Amplifier represents 45 years of accessible high-fidelity sound, being developed by the world-class British home audio manufacturer. This is the first of three amps in the Radia series; a series dedicated to musical clarity and transparency. As such, particular care has been given to choosing and testing the materials and components used in the A5. Unleash the potential of your speakers with 50W per channel (into eight-ohms). The Class A/B amplification ensures enhanced performance and exceptional clarity.
A blend of quality and connectivity, this amplifier features hi-res digital optical and coaxial inputs and up to three analogue RCA. It also hosts a dedicated Phono MM input, giving vinyl enthusiasts a direct link for their turntable and record collection. The built-in ESS ES9018 DAC ensures impeccable signal conversion, resulting in a faithful reproduction of digital sources.
The Arcam A5 is also equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, featuring aptX Adaptive technology. This guarantees reliable wireless connectivity, letting you stream music from any compatible Bluetooth-enabled device in up to 24-bit HD audio. Furthermore, the A5 also supports Bluetooth headphones as well as traditional wired, meaning you choose how you enjoy your private listening sessions. This amp boasts solid aluminium dials, as well as front, top, side, and rear panels. Not only does this enhance its durability, but it also adds a touch of elegance to your audio setup.
The Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Bookshelf Speakers are clear and precise with unmatched sound reproduction at their level. They boast curved, braced cabinets that not only allude to the premium aesthetic qualities of higher-priced speakers but also help to reduce unwanted cabinet vibrations and dissipate derogatory standing waves that can negatively affect your sound.
The five-inch Kevlar mid/bass driver and one-inch textile tweeter work effortlessly together, offering sparkling highs and full, controlled lows, revealing details in your favourite tracks that may have previously gone unheard. The gold-plated bi-wireable binding posts, a trait usually only found at higher price ranges, ensure complete versatility in your set-up and will benefit those who aim to achieve a precise and clean sound, where high and low frequencies blend harmoniously without a fight for air space.
