FMJ A19 stereo amp, set up to drive Canton Reference 3.2s. The A19 system will also feature the new VinylPlay turntable from Flexson

In addition there will be a vinyl rig of appropriate quality for the big system that is being loaned to us by a local retailer (ListenUp) and will be named later.  There will be the $2000 UDP411 Disc Player and an AVR450 on static display.

Andy Moore of Arcam UK will be available to chat about why Class G is class “A” and other pithy topics.

Note on the new $5750 FMJ A49 Stereo Integrated Amp (pictured)
This is a staggering new integrated amp with a money no object build remit. Arcam Founder John Dawson was given the task of building the best amplifier he could and he has done a cracking job!

The A49 uses class G amplification, which allows the A49 (and P49s) to run in full class A for the first 50wpc then switches into class AB for anything more that is required, all the way up to the full output of 200w in 8Ω. To hear just what this delivers come on in with a piece of music you thought you knew and hear it as it should be !!

The A49 delivers 400 to 800 watts of muscular finesse, balanced with 100 watts of Class-A sweetness, class leading detail retrieval and an ultra-low noise floor.

The C49/P49 Combo ups the Performance and Power

MUSICAL above all
We at Arcam don’t build equipment to ream your ears out and impress on one quick listen. Arcam kit is made to be musical and enjoyable over years and years of listening. Many Hi-Fi and AV products are sharp and clear, very ‘Hi-Fi’ but they don’t play music in an enjoyable fashion. Arcam kit gets more involving and more musical the longer you listen.
