Primare A35.2


Anybody have any experience with this amp?  I realize its class D and have owned and enjoyed IcePower units.  Currently running a Quad Artera Stereo (class A/b) but have a chance to buy the Primare and was wondering about other peoples experiences were/are. 

 

edit: The interesting part is being able to convert it to a mono block down the road  if I run across another used unit.

I've heard it and think it is a great sounding amp and a really solid value for what you get. Primare is one of the few who seems to be doing their own design rather than just repackaging an IcePower/Hypex/Pascal module and calling it their own.

A friend uses a pair of the A35.2 amps in mono mode, it sounds great to my ears. I haven't heard his system running just one of them though so I can't say how much it improves things. Probably depends on your speakers and how difficult they are to drive, to a large extent.

I would call the Primare sound a bit on the cooler side, but no more than many of the IcePower or Pascal class D amps out there. With proper component matching you can really get an excellent result with the A35.2 for a relatively small expenditure.

I have not heard it but also have not heard anything negative ... I love the look and should I consolidate separates, Primare integrated is on the short list!!

Check YouTube and you should find Piega demo their $90k line source speakers with this amplifier with Inakustik cables, at Munich audio show.

Hello - I have not heard the amp but own several Primare products. When they work they are great, however I have had so many issues with their products/customer service. Waiting months for parts or even a response.

Our local dealer that used to carry Primare informed me the he had been waiting over a year just for a circuit board.

Took me 3 months just to get a replacement remote - so be aware.

I have Primare CD35 (1 year old -Turns on by itself - have to constantly reset. Drive already making noise), R35 (less that one year old -flashing power light, R15, R32 and BD32 ( Had to replace drive twice and replace remote)
