Primare A 31.2??

[SHAXOS]

Did primare ever upgrade the A30.2 power amp to a 31.2? I have found one online shop selling a 31.2 but all others sell 30.2? Cant find any reviews on the 30.2 either?? Any big differences between the two?

I have the A31.2 and there isnt much difference to the A30.2. When I orderd my Primare gear from Hi-fi Bitz back in August last year, I was suppose to get the A30.2, but got the upgraded A31.2 instead. Due to me having to wait 2 months for the goods, I decided to accept it from Hi-fi Bitz. I e-mailed Primare and they told me that the main dfference between the two is that the signal path on the A31.2 is shorter, thus producing a clearer pathway for the signal to the speakers and this amp is not bridgeable meaning that it cannot be used in conjuction with other power amp for more rms. As for the rest of the specs, exactly the same.

"conjuction with other power amp for more rms"?
Sorry does this mean that you cannot biamp 31.2?

No. Bi-amp can be acieved with two A31.2. one for the high frequency (treble) and the other for the low frequency (bass). Bridging is when you use multiple power amps to drive the high and/or the lower frequncy to obtain more power. For example, if your speakers are capable of 400w rms and your power amp is say only 100w rms per channel, you can use 4 power amps to drive your speakers (2 for the HF and 2 for the LF) which gives you a total of 400w rms.
