Primare A35.2 Power Amplifier 2 x 200w 8Ω UFPD 2 Bridgeable to 800 watts 8Ω

The Primare A35.2 is a stereo power amplifier from Sweden's Primare 35 Series, built around a completely new UFPD 2 power module developed specifically for this design. UFPD 2 is Primare's proprietary all-analogue Class D technology, reworked from the ground up with a custom-wound transformer and dedicated power supply to deliver 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms in stereo, or 800 watts into 8 ohms in bridged mono mode. The result is immediate, sustained high-power output with very low distortion, instantaneous rise time, and absolutely linear amplification across the full audible bandwidth. A balanced XLR input and RCA input are provided, and the A35.2 can be bridged to mono for use as a monoblock, making it equally suited to bi-amping configurations and demanding multi-speaker installations.

Primare designed the A35.2 as the natural power amplifier partner for the PRE35 modular preamplifier, but it performs equally well driven from any quality preamplifier or integrated amplifier with a pre-out. Its Scandinavian cabinet follows the same proportions and finish options as the rest of the 35 Series, so it integrates cleanly into a matched PRE35 or I35 system.

The A35.2 has been listed as a Stereophile Class A Recommended Component continuously since 2022, and has received award recognition from Audiograde (Best of 2025), The Speaker Shack (Power Amplifier Product of the Year 2025), Diapason D'Or (France), Alpha Audio (Netherlands), HiFi News (UK), and Stereoplay (Germany), confirming its standing as one of the most critically endorsed power amplifiers available at its price.

Why Consider the Primare A35.2

The A35.2 is the right choice for listeners who want a dedicated, high-power stereo amplifier that can be trusted with any speaker load and any programme material. The UFPD 2 module delivers genuine current on demand, and the bridged mono configuration gives the option to run two A35.2 units as monoblocks for 800 watts per channel — an upgrade path that requires no additional investment in new hardware. Stereophile's Class A listing across three consecutive years, combined with a Diapason D'Or Award and consistent five-star reviews across Europe and the US, reflects a level of critical consensus rarely seen at this price. The A35.2 is the obvious partner for the PRE35 Prisma DM36, but it works equally well as an upgrade over the power stage of any integrated amplifier with a pre-out.

Ideal for

• Listeners upgrading from an integrated amplifier using the pre-out to a dedicated power stage
• PRE35 Prisma DM36 owners looking for the matched Primare 35 Series power amplifier
• Demanding speaker loads that require sustained high current and headroom
• Bi-amping configurations using two A35.2 units on a single speaker pair
• Monoblock setups requiring 800W per channel via the bridged mode
• Installations requiring 12V trigger and RS232 system control
