The sophisticated adaptive power supply provides for increased power output in stereo mode of 145/250 watts into 8/4 ohms and 290/405 watts into 8/4 ohms with four channels used in bi-amp stereo mode making the SPA25 Prisma the most powerful integrated amp Primare has ever produced.

Additionally, Left Front, Right Front, and Centre channel RCA outputs are available for adding external power amplifiers for those channels.

Seventeen customisable input pre-sets allow for virtually any combination of digital and analog input configurations, with five customisable speaker setup pre-sets allow for a variety of speaker and DSP configurations.

The look and feel of Scandinavia

We believe that every aspect of our products – the way they look, the satisfying feel of the controls – contributes to the overall experience of living with Primare. As a result, Primare products exude the hallmarks of Scandinavian design – simple, elegant designs, with approachable and easy to understand functionality. An example of this is the idea of being inconspicuous, of not drawing undue attention, which is inherent in the compact physical design of the SPA25 Prisma and elimination of unnecessary display and front panel controls.
