The I15 is an integrated amplifier with phono stage from Primare, a well-established Swedish manufacturer known for accomplished, minimalist high-end electronics engineering, built into a compact chassis. The I15 brings Primare's considered engineering to an accessible integrated format.

Key specs that matter

Four single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided. Output power is 60W into 8 ohms, rising to 100W into 4 ohms. At 350 x 73 x 339mm and 6.5kg, the I15 maintains a manageable, accessible integrated amplifier chassis reflecting Primare's considered Scandinavian engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect the accurate, minimalist character Primare's broader Scandinavian catalogue is celebrated for, with the built-in phono input covering vinyl directly.

Pairing

The built-in phono input covers a turntable directly without needing a separate outboard phono stage.

Alternatives

Primare's own I15 MM offers a closely related model within the same broader I15 catalogue.
