The Arcam AVA25 AV Receiver stands at the forefront of British audio engineering, delivering exceptional power, accuracy and emotional engagement for serious home cinema and hi-fi enthusiasts. Designed and engineered in Cambridge, UK, the AVA25 represents the culmination of nearly 50 years of ARCAM amplification expertise, combining musical refinement with commanding cinematic authority.

British Engineering & Sound Quality Obsession

Every aspect of the Arcam AVA25 AV Receiver is shaped by ARCAM’s unwavering obsession with sound quality. From meticulous component selection to extensive listening and measurement tests, this AV receiver is engineered to reproduce both music and film soundtracks with outstanding clarity, scale and realism.

Powerful 9-Channel Class AB Amplification

At the heart of the AVA25 lies ARCAM’s in-house Class AB amplification, chosen for its ability to combine dynamic power with natural musicality. Delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the nine onboard amplifier channels provide confident control over demanding loudspeakers, ensuring clean, composed performance even at higher listening levels.

Expandable Home Cinema Performance

The Arcam AVA25 comfortably supports immersive speaker layouts such as 7.1.2 or 5.1.4 straight out of the box. Comprehensive pre-outs allow expansion to up to 16 channels using external amplification, making it equally suited to high-performance living-room systems or fully dedicated home cinema installations.

Immersive Surround Sound Formats

Supporting Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and AURO-3D, the Arcam AVA25 AV Receiver places sound precisely within a three-dimensional space. These advanced formats deliver an immersive and lifelike cinematic experience, bringing films, TV and games to life with exceptional realism.

Dirac Live Room Correction

To ensure optimal performance in real-world listening rooms, the AVA25 includes Dirac Live Room Correction. This advanced calibration system intelligently measures and compensates for room acoustics, delivering tighter bass, clearer dialogue and more precise imaging. Optional upgrades are available for Dirac Live Bass Control and Dirac Live Active Room Treatment.

Modern Streaming & Wireless Connectivity

Designed for today’s connected listener, the AVA25 offers native support for Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Qobuz Connect. UPnP network playback allows easy access to local music libraries, while Bluetooth with Snapdragon Sound and Auracast ensures high-quality wireless audio with minimal latency.

Intuitive Control & Premium Display

Control is effortless thanks to compatibility with the ARCAM Radia App for iOS, Android and Windows, alongside Bluetooth remote control for reliable out-of-sight operation. A large 6.5-inch high-resolution colour display provides clear visibility of system status and metadata from the listening position.

Sustainable Design & Build Quality

In keeping with ARCAM’s forward-thinking design philosophy, the AVA25 is supplied in plastic-free packaging using responsibly sourced materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising premium presentation or build quality.
