Vincent SA-32 AE + SP-332 Hi-Fi Set Black

The Vincent SA-32 AE / SP-332 Hi-Fi Set combines the limited-edition hybrid preamplifier SA-32 AE with the powerful hybrid power amplifier SP-332 – preamp and power amp from a single source, tonally matched to each other. Both units use a tube input stage and transistor output; the preamp also integrates streaming and TV via its digital section.

Why this set?

Because the preamp and power amp come from the same Vincent PowerLine and share the same sonic character: warm, spacious and natural. The SA-32 AE delivers tube warmth and modern connectivity, the SP-332 the power and control over your speakers – with colour-switchable VU meters that look great too. No break in sound character, no matching stress: you just add speakers and a source.

What's in the set

• Vincent SA-32 AE – limited-edition hybrid preamplifier (2× 12AU7 + 2× E88CC), RCA + XLR, optical, coaxial, HDMI-ARC, Bluetooth (individual price CHF 1,990.–)
• Vincent SP-332 – hybrid stereo power amplifier, 2× 150 W at 8 ohms / 2× 250 W at 4 ohms, tube input, RCA + XLR, colour-switchable VU meters (individual price CHF 2,290.–)
• Aluminium remote control VRC-14 for the preamp
• Both units in black – a matching pair visually and sonically

Who is this set for?

For anyone who wants a high-quality pre-/power amp combination without having to source components themselves – and who wants to integrate the TV as well. Ideal for the living room, where music and TV run through the same system. Honestly: if you're only after a small system for a side room, a fully integrated amplifier is cheaper and more space-saving – this set is intended for the large, serious chain.

Our verdict

The SA-32 AE and SP-332 are a well-rehearsed team: the preamp brings fine detail and connection versatility, the power amp the necessary punch for demanding speakers. Together they form a chain that convinces both in analogue and digital use while looking really good too. Detailed reviews of the combination are available at i-fidelity.net and in the lite-magazin.

Frequently asked questions

Do the SA-32 AE and SP-332 match sonically?
Yes – both come from Vincent's PowerLine and are matched to each other. Both work on the hybrid principle with a tube input stage and transistor output, so preamp and power amp share the same sonic character: warm, spacious and natural.

Which speakers suit this set?
The SP-332 delivers 2× 150 watts at 8 ohms and 2× 250 watts at 4 ohms – that covers everything from compact bookshelf speakers to large floorstanding speakers. We're happy to match the set to your speakers of choice here in Wädenswil.

Can I connect my TV?
Yes. The SA-32 AE has an HDMI input with ARC – the TV sound then runs through the set instead of the TV's own speakers. Optical and coaxial inputs as well as Bluetooth are also available.

What else do I need besides the set?
Just a pair of speakers, matching speaker cables and a source of your choice – for example a turntable, CD player or streamer. Preamp, power amp and remote control are already complete in the set.
