Swedish component maker Primare showed two new home theater products last week at CEDIA that somehow slipped through the cracks.

The Primare SPA22 is an integrated AV amp, combining both preamp and amplifier sections and eschewing AM/FM tuners. The 5.1 channel SPA22 has a class D amplifier section, and is rated at 100 watts per channel. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding are expected to be features by the time the unit ships in December. The unit is an HDMI 1.3 compliant device, and accepts input from three HDMI components, with only one output. The unit is expected to fall somewhere in the $5000-6000 range.

The Primare SP32 is a traditional pre/pro, no amplifier section like the SPA22. The SP32 adds balanced outputs and "upgraded parts". As to what "upgraded parts" refers to, details are sparse at this time, but perhaps the amp-less SP32 will offer an upgrade in DAC quality. The SP32 also offers 3 in-1 out HDMI 1.3 switching. The SP32 is expected to sell for around the same price as the SPA22 when it ships this December.
