Primare I25 100W Modular Integrated Amplifier, UFPD 2, DAC & Prisma Ready

The Primare I25 is a full-size modular integrated amplifier from Sweden's Primare 25 Series, delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts into 4 ohms via Primare's UFPD 2 all-analogue Class D amplification technology. UFPD 2 is a fundamental reworking of Primare's award-winning UFPD platform, providing absolutely linear amplification across the entire audible bandwidth with a naturally fast, clean, and agile character. Five RCA analogue inputs, a pre-amplifier output, RS232, 12V trigger, and the C25 system remote make it a complete and capable analogue amplifier from the moment it is connected.

What sets the I25 apart from a conventional integrated amplifier is its modular architecture. Two internal expansion slots allow the DM36 digital-to-analogue converter module and SM35 Prisma network player module to be fitted at any time, either at purchase or as a future upgrade. With the DM36 installed, the I25 gains PCM 384kHz/32-bit and DSD 256 capability across six digital inputs. With the SM35 added, it becomes a full Prisma streaming hub covering AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready. Reviewers at Hi-Fi Voice, High Fidelity, Fair Audio, and AUDIO-Stereoplay have praised its tonal neutrality, bass control, and long-term musical engagement, confirming it as one of the most versatile amplifiers available at its price point.

Why Consider the Primare I25

The I25 is the right choice for listeners who want a genuinely high-quality analogue amplifier today, with the option to add DAC and streaming capability later without replacing the unit. The UFPD 2 module delivers consistent, controlled power into a wide range of speaker loads, and reviewers across Europe have consistently noted the I25's tonal balance, bass authority, and ability to remain musically engaging over long listening sessions. Fitting the DM36 module unlocks one of the most capable DAC stages available in a mid-range integrated, and adding the SM35 Prisma module turns the I25 into a full streaming amplifier on par with the I25 Prisma DM36, at whatever point the listener is ready for that step. For an Indian audiophile building a system over time, the I25 offers a practical and sonically excellent foundation.

Ideal for

• Listeners starting with an analogue system who plan to add digital sources later
• Those who want a full-size amplifier with room to upgrade without buying a new unit
• Systems with multiple analogue sources requiring five independent line-level inputs
• Buyers who want a clear upgrade path to full Prisma streaming via the SM35 module
• Home cinema setups using the surround passthrough input
• Installations requiring RS232, 12V trigger, and IR in/out system control
