The ST60 would be better, we have not heard word yet on a replacement lineup, but as with all electronics companies, it will happen eventually. The Radia Series actually goes back to what made Arcam famous, entry level audio gear that sounded great. Decades ago, they only made relatively inexpensive gear that was incredible, like the Radia.

So close......it is great that they made these integrate together so seemlessly. However, they ignored the 1 feature that most allows integration with everything else that many need and that is HDMI ARC. There is no Radia TV or Radia 4k video streamer for these to integrate with, so they need HDMI ARC to fit in with a lot of people. No HDMI ARC equals a no go for me, I have one surround theater with an AVR30 and 3 stereo only set ups that deature a TV. I would be ready to use an A25 in all 3 of those systems if it had HDMI ARC, but without it they are a non starter..........
