The Arcam A25 100 WRMS Integrated amp is less than inspiring. It sounds fine but built to a budget. It is not a bad unit per se. I think the bean-counters had a lot of say in how it is constructed.

Thank you to Holm Audio in Woodridge, IL for the loan of this unit. For more details, click here: https://holmaudio.com
