British company Arcam has expanded the Radia family of audio products by unveiling a new range of loudspeakers at ISE 2026 in Barcelona. Until now the series consisted exclusively of amplifiers, but the manufacturer now aims to offer complete audio systems within the Radia lineup.

Part I of this guide is available at this link. In this second half, we cover the remaining six amplifiers in the premium tier, comprehensive comparison charts, speaker matching, system-building recommendations, and the verdict.

Can you buy a genuinely capable integrated amplifier today for between $250 and $2,500? Is there real audiophile life at the entry-level Hi-Fi tier? Unequivocally, yes - and the latest engineering makes it possible to achieve outstanding results at sensible prices. The challenge lies elsewhere: this segment is extraordinarily crowded, the number of models is overwhelming, and separating the worthwhile from the mediocre without getting lost is no small task. We have therefore analysed eighteen amplifiers across the sector and assembled a thorough encyclopedia of affordable integrated amplifiers.

ARCAM has introduced the development of its Radia electronics line – three new integrated amplifiers ARCAM Radia A5+, A15+ and A25+ have been added. The devices use modern circuit solutions, an improved power management system to reduce interference and support the latest version of the Bluetooth wireless interface. Power supplies and printed circuit boards have also been upgraded.

The Arcam ST25 network streamer, announced in 2024, has gone on sale. The Arcam ST25 will be the perfect companion to the Arcam A5, A15 and A25 integrated amplifiers, which lack network functionality. The streamer is based on the Hyperstream iV platform and is assembled on a 6-layer electronic board with a continuous ground bus to protect sensitive components from interference and noise.
