Great Sound
Excellent sound. For every style of music, sound is balanced, dynamic and accurate. Convenient input selection; particularly impressive sound from the phono and Bluetooth inputs. Overall, extremely satisfied with this amplifier (previous amplifier was Mission Cyrus II).

Great Sounding Amp
This amp is an outstanding value. I have it paired with Usher S 520 speakers and the sound is fantastic. It is so good that I am thinking about selling my NAIM 5si integrated amp. If you are interested in ARCAM and you don't want to make a big investment the A5 is definitely worthwhile.
