Does anyone have any experience with Primare?

Hi,

I am semi-looking for a new receiver to replace my Kenwood VR-8070, my main goal is to get a better processor. I never realized how important that is until I got a Marantz DV9500 universal disc player. The sound/video quality difference is amazing.

I have been looking at various Marantz and Harmon Kardon receivers, but while I was killing time in Magnolia today I was introduced to the Primare SPA21. How might this compare to the upper line Marantz or Harmon Kardon multi channel solutions? I had never heard of Primare before so I have no idea what to think.

Thanks for any replies.

Cheers,

I have no experience with them, but they are suppose to be fairly high-end stuff. Imported by Sumiko, the same company that imports Sonus Faber, Vienna Acoustics, and REL.

There is one on Audiogon:
