Frequency Response The A39 also has 9 inputs this compared to the competitors is a lot given the price of the amplifier, even more so that this has the addition of a MM phono pre-amp. Class G builds on Class AB by having two individual power supplies which can switch over to each one as and when it needs to be switched.
Arranged a demo at the Watford branch and was so impressed with the sound quality my money was going to get me. Let’s look at a new amplifier closer.
The A39’s bonus Class A side really shows in the lower volumes, giving great detail and imaging. This allows the amplifier to use less power and be more efficient in the lower volumes compared to Class A which every output stage is constantly on at full power, this is why Class A amplifiers run very hot and consume a lot of power.Class G borrows some ideas from Class AB by having a pair of output stages, one output stage to do the upper part of the sound wave being produced and another do to the lower part of the sound wave. We're confident that our prices are amongst the very keenest out there, so we've made it as easy as pie to qualify for our Price Beat.

Internet Radio Services Power Consumption- Normal Use The Arcam FMJ range is Arcam’s ultimate audio performance in home cinema and stereo systems. (6v vs 12v component). Brand Unfortunately, though since the Reference 1 is the hardest of KEF’s Reference range to drive its sadly not quite enough for the Reference 1 and you can start to hear the harshness from the amplifier not being able to keep up at the very high volume levels, however this is not noticeable with the Reference 5’s.Finally, we will be partnering up the A39 with one of the best Focal loudspeakers on the market, the Sopra No.2. The Arcam FMJ A39 is a great amplifier for the price, it has dynamics and the power to drive most loudspeakers with relative ease.
This replaced my ageing Arcam Alpha 9 which was bi-amped with the 9P and gave many years of pleasure.

However, the A39 still shows control and great agility on a smaller speaker which has more stress since it can’t handle as much power as the Reference 5’s can. Power Amp In
Ts&Cs apply. Class-A amplification is neither as efficient nor powerful as other types but it does offer a sweet, mellifluous sound that compares favourably to valve amps. Class G sadly though is very hard to engineer and get right, which is why its hardly used within the HIFI industry, however Arcam has spent many years in perfecting the design of Class G and has created many excellent sounding amplifiers from it.The design of Arcam’s Class G allows the first power supply of lower power to operate in pure Class A, which has little distortion. Crisp, punchy and low in background noise, listening to the A39 through headphones is a revelation.
