“Did you like the R15? You’ll love the R35 even more. This is not the trailer for a sequel, although the R35, contemporary with the R15, fully deserves to be seen and above all heard. To the point that the question arises of understanding how the Swedish manufacturer achieves such a functionality/quality/appearance/price mix… Of the R15, we wrote that the sound was “full, warm and lively.” In comparison, R35 appears fleshy, vigorous, even fiery. Free, rather. Without being heavy or overwhelming, just impeccably open and breathing while being, yes, fiery… And if you have an integrated or a preamp with balanced line input, you will still gain very significantly in this mode in terms of transparency, dynamics, and noise reduction. The difference is far from negligible. For all these reasons, the R35 establishes a real hierarchy compared to the R15, even offering itself the vanity of challenging devices of significantly higher prices. So yes, this is certainly not new; but, at Primare, the devices are designed to last, and this is not the least of their qualities.

The +: Adaptability and vitality.

The -: We don’t see any.”
