In case you missed it, the Primare SPA25 Prisma made its grand entry back at The Bristol HiFi Show 2023. The cinema-integrated amplifier also made an appearance at the Audio Show Delux.
Ever since then, audio enthusiasts have been trying to get one unit on their hands. And if you are one of them, there’s a piece of good news!
Primare has started shipping the SPA25 Prisma. That means you can soon enjoy all the good things that it has to bring to the table. Haven’t you ordered one yet?
Well, after knowing everything it packs inside, there is a good chance you will! So, what does it actually come with?
At the core, the Primare SPA25 Prisma is a multi-channel processor and amplifier that is designed for audiophiles and cinephiles.
To make sure that both audiences get what they are looking for, Primare carefully considered the parts and crafted features and functionality of the unit.
For the cinephiles, the Primare SPA25 Prisma comes with nine channels of amplification. Each of the channels can offer 90 watts, which totals 810 watts for 9 channels.
In addition, there is 4K Dynamic HDR switching, Dirac Live, eARC, and eleven channels of Dolby Atmos / DTS:X processing.
With the addition of a stereo amplifier, you can enjoy a smooth 7.1.4 cinema configuration. So, in short, you can make your home audio setup feel and sound more like a proper cinema setup with the SPA25 Prisma.
On the other hand, for audiophiles, the Primare SPA25 Prisma has dual eight-channel DAC chips. That will enable you to get a unique digital-to-analog conversion with the allocation of four channels of conversion.
And as the conversion circuit is high grade, you can expect to get an enhanced front left and right channel performance. There’s an adaptive power supply in the SPA25 Prisma.
Thanks to that, the integrated amp can offer up to 145 watts of total power in 8 ohms and 250 watts in 4-ohm speaker loads. You will even have the option to bi-amp the main left and right channels. After that, they will supply 290 watts in 8 ohms and 500 watts in 4 ohms.
The Primare SPA25 Prisma even integrates the Prisma network player platform. That offers you complete access to limitless streaming features and functionality.
It includes multi-zone/ multi-room options, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Roon Ready. With the associated Prisma application, the setup process of the SPA25 will be a breeze too.
The app has many easy customization options and plenty of control options. Also, Prisma offers comprehensive control of network-connected hard drives, Tidal, Qobuz, and other services for simplified access.
