Are you after maximum clean power and future flexibility? At £1,995, this is a fair used price rather than a bargain: it sits just above the £1,902 median, but remains below the £2,065 75th-percentile asking price. With unknown condition, the value depends heavily on whether it is complete, clean, and demonstrably working.
The A35.2 is a serious, well-regarded power amplifier, offering 200W per channel into 8 ohms, 400W into 4 ohms, balanced XLR and RCA inputs, and the unusual option of bridging to a potent 800W monoblock. Primare’s UFPD 2 design is known for a fast, controlled presentation with ample headroom, while low standby consumption is a practical bonus. At this price, confirm the original packaging, mains lead, trigger accessories, quiet operation, and that both channels perform evenly; a clean example with its box would be a sensible buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Primare traces its origins to 1985, when Danish industrial designer and audiophile Bo Christensen, frustrated by the era's cluttered audio gear, founded the company alongside engineer Bent Nielsen. Born in Denmark as Primare Systems AB, it embodied a mission for exceptional sound quality, elegant Scandinavian aesthetics, precise proportions, and intuitive interfaces. Rejecting the industry's short product cycles, Primare pioneered "living products" designed for longevity and evolution, with its debut 928 series—now exhibited in Copenhagen's Designmuseum Denmark—setting a minimalist benchmark against button-heavy contemporaries. A 1993 partnership with Swedish firm Xena, involving Lars Pedersen, propelled the influential 30 series in 1998, cementing its design legacy while shifting manufacturing to southern Sweden.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity separates, excelling in integrated amplifiers, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, CD players, network streamers, and DACs that handle analog, digital, wired, and wireless sources with balanced precision. Iconic lines like the 200, 300, and ongoing 30 and 15 series prioritize simple circuitry and modular upgrades, from tuners and Blu-ray players to modern computer audio solutions, always favoring functionality over gimmicks.
Primare occupies a premium mid-to-high-end niche, revered by discerning buyers for its honest integrity, timeless Scandinavian design, and deeply satisfying performance that endures across decades. Award-winning components, such as the EISA-honored CD32/I32, deliver audiophile purity without ostentation, positioning Primare as a practical choice for those seeking lasting quality over fleeting trends in a market craving authenticity.
