Description :
Considering as the top model in Arcam's Alpha series, the Arcam Alpha 10P power
amplifier forms a pair of matched 100 watts per channel with the Alpha 10 integrated
amplifier. Both share a common design philosophy, as well as certain major components.
Built to their highest standards using only the best audiophile quality materials,
these are amplifiers designed to last and to give the user all the functionality
the user ever need. Like the Alpha 10, the Alpha 10P is also stock modular which
allows an optional 3rd channel at 100 watts to be installed. The Arcam Alpha
10P provides a natural sonic upgrade path for many home cinema amplifiers/receivers
and can be matched to a wide variety of amplifiers to provide outstanding sound
in both single and multi-room installations - delivering remarkably clear sound
in any configuration.
When using the Arcam Alpha 10 with the Alpha 10P, the sound seemed bigger, even
at the same volume. Instruments are more distinct from one another, and there
is more air surrounding them. And individual notes seems to stop and start with
more momentum. For those who listen to headphones a lot, the Alpha 10P also
offers headphone jacks that are run off the amplifiers' circuitry, not powered
by op-amps. The sound is clean and powerful and generally unfatiguing The Alpha
10P is a fine power amplifier on its own which is a good choice for anyone looking
for a 100W amplifier. It offers good bottom-end control and has a lovely, warm
tonal character, but with decent high-end sparkle. It may be a little softish
on top but this is not always a bad thing with affordable hi-fi.
