The Arcam DiVA P85 is a class-leading stereo power amplifier from Arcam's DiVA series, designed with innovative DC-coupled circuitry, no capacitors in the signal path, and a substantial toroidal transformer for robust power delivery. It provides continuous output of 85W per channel into 8Ω (20Hz–20kHz) and 140W into 4Ω (1kHz), with exceptionally low distortion of 0.005%. Ideal for pairing with preamplifiers like the A85 or for bi-amping and multi-channel setups via optional third-channel module (P85/3). Known for precise, open sound, extended bass, and compatibility with high-definition audio sources like DVD-Audio and SACD. Manufactured in the UK, available in black or silver.
