Primare A35.2
A35.2 is a powerful balanced input stereo amplifier, utilising our UFPD 2 amplficiation technology to deliver 200 watt of power per channel in stereo and 800 watts of power in bridged mono mode.
Technology
A35.2 is the most powerful amplifier we have designed using our new proprietary UFPD 2 analog class D amplification technology.
In fact, a completely new UFPD 2 power module was designed to provide the power and performance we felt necessary for such a statement stereo amplifier.
As a result, a completely new power supply, with custom wound transformers, was designed to deliver the immense electrical power needed for the amplifier module to produce the immense amount of musical power of which it is capable.

With that essential circuitry in place, A35.2 is capable of providing immediate and sustained high power output with very low distortion, instantaneous rise time and absolutely linear amplification across the entire bandwidth resulting in a naturally fast, clean and agile sound over an ultra-wide frequency range and with exceptional headroom.
A35.2 features balanced inputs and 200 watts of output power into 8 ohms, with the ability to be bridged to mono for 800 watts of output into 8 ohms. With this level of truly massive power output, A35.2 is capable of driving even the most demanding stereo speakers, or for an awesomely powerful multi-channel system array.
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 standby button discretely placed within the Primare logo on the faceplate of our R15, R35 and A35.2 models – or as we say lagom, not too much not too little, everything in balance, proportion, and harmony.

Primare’s A35.2 brings refined musicality and high-power control to demanding stereo systems, delivering 200W per channel with output that doubles into 4 ohms. Audiophilepure found its presentation polished, elegant and deeply appealing, while balanced XLR connectivity and trigger control make it a sophisticated fit for premium separates.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Refined, polished and musically engaging sonic character.
Convincingly upscale appearance, according to the listening review.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 85/100
The available listening report is warmly appreciative, describing the A35.2 as refined, “high-toned,” and capable of sounding “ooh la la!” It does not provide the detailed comparisons needed to separate every aspect of performance with confidence, but it presents the amplifier as an accomplished and polished-sounding performer.
Transparency Resolution
84/100
The review’s description of the A35.2’s elevated, refined manner suggests a clean and polished presentation rather than a coarse or congested one. It offers little direct discussion of low-level detail, background silence, or resolution relative to competing amplifiers.
Tonal Balance Musicality
87/100
“High-toned manners” and the reviewer’s enthusiastic “sounded ooh la la!” reaction point to an elegant, musically engaging character. There is no detailed account of bass warmth, midrange texture, or treble balance, but the tonal impression is plainly favorable.
Dynamics
84/100
The review places the A35.2 among amplifiers with a distinctive and engaging personality, rather than criticizing it as restrained or lacking force. Specific observations about transient impact, bass grip, and difficult-speaker control are limited, although its 200W-per-channel rating and doubling into 4 ohms indicate substantial available output.
Soundstage Imaging
85/100
The reviewer’s upscale and emotionally positive response suggests a presentation with appealing presence and refinement. However, the report does not directly address stage width, depth, image placement, or layering, so its spatial character is not fully documented.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
82/100
The A35.2 is well equipped for a serious system, with balanced XLR and RCA inputs, 12V trigger input/output, and RS232 control. Its specified 200W into 8 ohms and 400W into 4 ohms indicates a thoughtfully engineered output stage, while the review also regards its appearance as convincingly upscale; long-term construction and reliability are not discussed.
Value for Money
85/100
At roughly $2,900-$3,999, the A35.2 occupies a competitive premium-power-amplifier segment while supplying 200W per channel, balanced connectivity, control integration, and a favorable listening impression. The review does not directly compare its asking price with rivals or make an explicit value judgment.
