“Most AV receivers are more imposing than discreet in the home cinema or living room. Most of them are convincing in terms of both their performance and their role as a media control center at first glance. The SPA 25 Prisma from the Swedish manufacturer Primare is a completely different story; it stands there discreetly and yet exudes a very special charm with its minimalist appearance. However, as soon as it is switched on and flexes its muscles on the home cinema system, the restraint is over. […] The SPA25 does its job really well; every sound, every effect is placed in the right place in an atmospherically dense way. The subwoofer rumbles so deeply that we have never heard anything from the connected chassis before.”
