The A35.2 gripped the Magnepans' diaphragms with greater control and force than either the class-A Pass Labs XA25 or the all-tube, class-AB Rogue Stereo 100, delivering a tauter, more rhythmic bass. The A35.2's transparency was conspicuous.
Can the Primare A35.2 be bridged to mono?
Can the Primare A35.2 be bridged to mono?
Yes, the A35.2 can be bridged into mono mode, combining both channels into one for significantly increased power output. This is useful for driving demanding speakers or for building a dual-mono system with two A35.2 units, one per channel. Bridging is configured via a switch on the rear panel.
How much improvement does a separate A35.2 add over the I35's built-in amplification?
How much improvement does a separate A35.2 add over the I35's built-in amplification?
The A35.2 delivers 200 watts per channel compared to the I35's 150 watts, with the additional benefit of a dedicated chassis and power supply focused entirely on amplification. The biggest gains come with power-hungry speakers like Magnepan panels or large floorstanding designs where the extra current and headroom translate to better bass control and dynamic range. If you already own the I35 and love it, the natural upgrade path is adding the PRE35 and using the A35.2 as your power amp.
