However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Arcam Radia SA45 Streaming Amplifier and KEF R3 Meta Bookshelf Speakers Hi-Fi Bundle is designed for listeners who want powerful streaming amplification with precise, room-friendly standmount speakers. The SA45 delivers 180W per channel of Class G power, with balanced analogue and digital audio paths, ESS Hyperstream iV DAC topology, HDMI eARC, MM and MC phono inputs, dual subwoofer outputs, and Dirac Live room correction.
The KEF R3 Meta speakers use a true 3-way bass reflex design with a 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT, a 5-inch aluminium midrange, 1-inch vented aluminium dome tweeter, and 6.5-inch hybrid aluminium bass driver. This gives the bundle a compact but capable speaker platform, with clean imaging, controlled bass, and a broad listening area for music, TV sound, and hi-res streaming.

The SA45 gives the KEF R3 Meta speakers a powerful foundation, with 180W per channel Class G amplification providing the control needed for confident, detailed listening. This pairing gives you substantial stereo performance without requiring larger floorstanding speakers. The SA45 also brings streaming and source control into one system, including HDMI eARC, phono inputs and support for major streaming platforms. Whether you are listening to vinyl, playing hi-res music or improving your TV sound, the amplifier keeps the R3 Meta at the centre of a flexible everyday setup.
The KEF R3 Meta brings precise imaging and true three-way performance to the bundle while retaining the placement flexibility of a standmount speaker. KEF’s 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array with MAT helps distribute sound evenly, creating a wider listening area and helping vocals and instruments occupy distinct positions within the stereo image. A separate 6.5-inch bass driver handles lower frequencies independently, allowing the Uni-Q array to focus on the midrange and treble. Combined with the SA45’s controlled power, this creates a detailed, balanced system without requiring large floorstanding cabinets.
Together, the SA45 and R3 Meta provide a flexible stereo system that can be adapted to different rooms, sources and listening habits. Dirac Live helps account for the effects of your room and speaker placement, making it easier to achieve balanced performance at your listening position. The R3 Meta reaches down to 38Hz, providing useful bass extension from a compact cabinet, while dual subwoofer outputs on the SA45 give you an upgrade path for deeper base. Streaming, television and vinyl can all be handled through the same streamlined system.
