Primare A35.2

For the A35.2, Primare designed a completely new power supply, with custom wound transformers, which helps the amplifier produce its immense musical power. Swedish high-end audio maker Primare has been building components with distinctive sound quality and looks since the mid '80s. They've produced Class A and AB solid-state amplifiers, as well as tube-based designs. Over the past dozen years they've been refining their proprietary Class D amplifier technology, which is at the heart of their flagship amp, the A35.2. This is the most powerful stereo amplifier Primare has ever built, producing 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The main reason Class D is gaining in popularity is its high efficiency — it delivers more of the power fed into it as musical signal output. This efficiency reduces heat and the need for large heat sinks, resulting in very powerful amps that are relatively compact and lightweight. The challenge for Class D has been matching the sound quality of t...
