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 SP25 Prisma and elimination of unnecessary display and front panel controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Get ready for a deep dive into the Primare SP25 surround sound processor – a component that’s been generating serious buzz in the audiophile and home theater communities! Primare is known for its incredible two-channel gear, but can their first dedicated surround processor truly deliver? In this comprehensive review, I push the SP25 to its limits, evaluating its sound quality, features, ease of use, and overall value. Could this be the new benchmark for immersive audio? Watch to find out!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Audiophile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The A35.8 amplifier is easily the most versatile I have ever used with all its bridgeable configurations. I think the asking price for that feature set and it’s sounding as good as it does is totally worth it. Plus, it looks super cool. …the Primare (SP25 Prisma) did do a better job pulling double duty for both home theatre and two channel. It’s got a cleaner sound to my ears for music. So, if you’re going to go at it from purely a sound quality standpoint I’d have to say that you to give the Primare a consideration.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Shane Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimare and Perlisten go well together, as this fine combination proves. The SP25 Prisma is a particularly pleasant surround processor that also performs excellently in stereo. But we knew that about Primare. The Primare A35.8 is a beast that drives the Perlisten R5t excellently. Need more power, or want to bi-amp? Then you can do that perfectly well in bridge mode. Simply flip a switch and you have twice the power. Is it necessary? No… is it fun? Yes it is!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Alpha Audio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-end audio manufacturer Primare continues to surprise with high-performance surround components. The Primare SP25 Prisma surround processor is intended for audiophile music lovers who desire an immersive movie experience and for cinephiles who want to listen to music in the highest possible sound quality. Unique in its class. Five Stars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-hifi.nl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are clearly confident with this SP25, because it knows how to work the audio stream it receives with a certain audiophile spirit and all the precision required for Home Cinema. At the same time, it knows how to step aside so that the power amps can express their own characteristics, and this is, in our opinion, what makes a high-end processor valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Les Annes Laser\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFWD Excellent Award, 9.0 out of 10 rating “The Primare SP25 is a flexible AV preamplifier that gets a lot right. The designers have made choices that some cinema builders will find less interesting. No HDMI 2.1 will be a dealbreaker for some people, for example. But it is always worth asking whether a certain function is really necessary. Because the slightly different philosophy of Primare does ensure an AV preamplifier that, in combination with the A35.8, comes out very strongly in certain areas. For example, the Primare plays music like a true hi-fi device, with the advantage that those tracks in Dolby Atmos that you find with Apple Music are also very well presented. With surround mixes, the SP25 manages to reproduce complex sound effects clearly and correctly positioned, which keeps the feeling of immersion strong.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-FWD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Primare","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":49297995333875,"sku":null,"price":8399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Titanium","offer_id":49297995366643,"sku":null,"price":8399.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5301\/5446\/files\/large-sp25-prisma-black-image-with-eisa-logo-scaled.jpg?v=1782428870","url":"https:\/\/www.heynowhifi.com.au\/products\/primare-sp25-prisma-home-cinema-preamplifier-processor","provider":"HeyNow Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
