Product Overview

Step into a world where every note and every scene is delivered with uncompromising precision and emotional depth. The AVA25 isn’t just an amplifier—it’s the culmination of nearly 50 years of ARCAM’s mastery in sound design, created for those who demand nothing less than excellence.

Expertly engineered in Cambridge, UK, the AVA25 builds on our heritage with advanced Class AB amplification, developed in-house to deliver a richer, more musical performance. This is how we achieve sound that feels alive—rich, detailed, and effortlessly immersive.

With nine channels of powerful amplification, the AVA25 effortlessly drives immersive setups like 7.1.2 or 5.1.4, and offers expansion to 16 total channels with additional subwoofers, height, or surround speakers. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and AURO-3D transport you with a cinematic experience, while Dirac Live room correction ensures flawless detail tailored to your space.

At ARCAM, sound quality isn’t just a promise—it’s our obsession. The AVA25 is the result of rigorous testing and listening sessions to award it the ARCAM name.

And with a vibrant 6.5" colour display, intuitive on-screen menus, and the new Radia App, setup and streaming are effortless.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arcam Radia AVA25 and who is it for?

The Arcam Radia AVA25 is a 9-channel Class AB AV amplifier rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all channels driven, powered by a toroidal linear power supply. It supports 16 channels of processing, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, Zone 2, and Dirac Live with ART. Designed for medium-to-large rooms and speakers with 4-ohm impedance curves, it delivers the full Arcam Radia AV feature set at the mid-range price point. The Arcam Radia AVA25 is available at Trutone Electronics in Mississauga.

Why does the Arcam AVA25 weigh so much more than the AVA15?

The Arcam Radia AVA25 weighs 21.5kg versus the AVA15's 10kg because it contains a large toroidal linear power supply — a dense transformer that is the dominant component by mass. A toroidal power supply delivers stable, low-noise power under sustained multi-channel load and is the type found in serious hi-fi amplifiers. If rack-mounting, ensure your shelf is rated for at least 25kg.

Does the Arcam AVA25 support Auro-3D?

Yes — the Arcam Radia AVA25 supports Auro-3D alongside Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced. Auro-3D is the first format in the AVA lineup that requires the AVA25 or higher and is not available on the AVA15. It adds a "Voice of God" ceiling layer above Atmos/DTS:X height speakers, valued for classical, live performance, and select Blu-ray titles.

What is Zone 2 on the Arcam AVA25 and how does it work?

Zone 2 on the Arcam Radia AVA25 lets you send audio and video to a second room independently of your main cinema room. The AVA25 has a third HDMI output dedicated to Zone 2 — for example, streaming music to a TV in another room while watching a Blu-ray in the main zone. Zone 2 is controlled through the Arcam Radia App and is not available on the AVA15.

Is the Arcam AVA25 worth the upgrade over the AVA15?

For most buyers, yes — the jump from AVA15 to AVA25 is substantial. You gain Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, Zone 2, 16-channel processing (vs 12), a toroidal power supply, and 25W more per channel in 2-channel mode. The AVA25's Class AB amplification also delivers a more musical character at low-to-moderate volumes compared to the AVA15's Class D.

How many subwoofer outputs does the Arcam AVA25 have?

The Arcam Radia AVA25 has one dedicated subwoofer RCA output. Additional subwoofer outputs can be created by reassigning channels from the 16 available RCA pre-outs — for example, using 4 sub channels still leaves 12 for loudspeakers, enough for a 7.1.4 layout. If running multiple subwoofers with dedicated outputs is a priority, factor this into your comparison with competing models.

What is the power output of the Arcam AVA25?

The Arcam Radia AVA25 delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all 9 channels driven simultaneously, rising to 125W at 2 channels driven. THD at 80% power is 0.01%. This is sufficient for the vast majority of home speakers in rooms up to approximately 40m², handling demanding 4-ohm speakers with control thanks to the toroidal power supply's stable current delivery.

When is the Arcam AVA25 available?

The Arcam Radia AVA25 is expected at authorised dealers from Q3 2026, with August 2026 as the projected delivery window. Contact Trutone Electronics in Mississauga, Ontario to pre-order or check availability.
