Arcam SR250 AV Amplifier
The SR250 is Arcam's answer to a question a lot of serious listeners eventually ask: what if I want one box that handles the TV, handles the streaming, handles the phono stage — and actually sounds like it was designed by people who care about audio? Most receivers sacrifice sound quality for feature count. Arcam built the SR250 the other way around.
Class G amplification is the reason. Where conventional amplifiers run the output stage at a fixed voltage regardless of what the music demands, Class G switches between voltage rails depending on signal level — the result is dramatically lower heat and distortion at the power levels where music actually lives, without sacrificing headroom when the recording calls for it. 100 watts per channel from a circuit that's working correctly the entire time. That's the Arcam engineering story, and it's been the Arcam engineering story since before most competitors had one.
The feature set is complete without being overcomplicated. Roon Ready. Chromecast built-in. AirPlay 2. HDMI ARC for TV integration — which means one input switch, and your television audio going through a proper amplifier instead of whatever soundbar someone thought was acceptable. There's a phono stage onboard for a turntable. There are analog inputs for everything else. The DAC handles high-res. The whole thing runs from a single chassis.
