Vincent SP-332 Hybrid Stereo Power Amp Black

The Vincent SP-332 is a hybrid stereo power amp: a tube input stage meets a powerful transistor output stage. It delivers 2× 150 watts at 8 ohms and drives even demanding speakers with authority – recognisable by the two colour-switchable VU meters on the front. The SP-332 builds on the proven SP-331.

Why the SP-332?

Because it combines the warm, spacious character of a tube with the power and control of a transistor power amp. Two 6N16 tubes and one 6N15 in the input stage give the signal fullness and warmth, and the transistor output stage then takes over: 2× 150 watts at 8 ohms, 2× 250 watts at 4 ohms. That means it effortlessly drives even impedance-critical speakers in larger rooms. The VU meters aren't just for show – they show you at all times what the power amp is delivering.

What you get

• Hybrid technology: tube input stage (2× 6N16, 1× 6N15) plus transistor output stage
• 2× 150 watts at 8 ohms, 2× 250 watts at 4 ohms
• RCA and balanced XLR input
• Bi-wiring-capable speaker terminals (two pairs per channel)
• Two VU meters with colour-switchable illumination
• Solid build at 21 kg for calm, stable operation

Who is the SP-332 suited for?

For anyone looking for a powerful power amp with tube character to add serious power to their preamp – such as the Vincent SA-32 AE or SA-T7 MK. Ideal for demanding floorstanding speakers and larger rooms. Honestly: at 21 kg and 43 cm wide, it needs a stable, well-ventilated spot in the rack – it's not a lightweight for a narrow sideboard.

Our verdict

The SP-332 is one of the most convincing power amps in its class: powerful, controlled and with that certain tube warmth in the midrange. Paired with a Vincent preamp, it forms a cohesive, matched chain. Detailed reviews are available at i-fidelity.net and in lite-magazin.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SP-332 a tube power amp?
It's a hybrid power amp: the input stage works with tubes (2× 6N16, 1× 6N15), while transistors handle the actual power amplification. This gives you tube character in the sound plus the power and control of a transistor power amp.

Which preamp suits the SP-332?
Classically, the Vincent preamps SA-32 AE or SA-T7 MK – as a matched pairing from one house. Via the RCA or balanced XLR input, though, the SP-332 can be combined with practically any preamp.

How powerful is the SP-332?
It delivers 2× 150 watts at 8 ohms and 2× 250 watts at 4 ohms. That means it drives practically everything with authority, from compact bookshelf speakers to large floorstanders, even in larger rooms.

What do the VU meters mean?
The two analogue needle instruments show the power output per channel. Their illumination can be colour-switched – a visual trademark of the SP-332 that's also practically useful.
