The SPA25 has the sonic chops to stand toe-to-toe with many of the two channel integrated amplifiers on the market today, while providing enough processing power and amplifier channels to serve as the hub in a high-quality home theater setup. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Primare SPA25 is the best-sounding A/V “receiver” that I have ever heard when it comes to either two channel or multichannel music sources. The SPA25’s full bottom end, beautifully natural midrange, and wonderfully detailed treble make just about any source sound great. The Primare’s imaging and sound stage presentation is on a level far above any other A/V receiver I’ve yet listened to and rivals what I’ve heard from the best A/V pre/pros or high-end “audiophile” two-channel gear.
