Arcam A15 Integrated Amplifier
80 Wpc class AB power, high resolution inputs, phono stage & aptX Adaptive Bluetooth — for dynamic performance in larger rooms.
Product Overview
The Arcam A15 from the Radia line is built for those who demand more—more power, more clarity, more versatility. With 80 W per channel into 8 Ω (120 W into 4 Ω), a quality MM phono stage, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, and a suite of analogue and digital inputs, it delivers strong performance for tower speakers or larger listening spaces. Designed with premium components and the new Radia aesthetic, it combines classic amplification values with modern connectivity.
Key Features
- Class AB amplification with 80 W per channel into 8 Ω; 120 W into 4 Ω.
