I use the Unico with a pair of Spendor S3/5 (84 dB sens. 8 ohm) loudspeakers in a small room (10'6"W x 12'2"L x 8'2"H). I don't listen at extremely loud levels but the Unico is more than sufficient for me and not lacking in any area.
is the Unico enough?
Hello everyone,
I'm just curiuos to know if the Unison Research Unico (80 w/ch) integrated has enough juice to properly drive the NHT 2.5i's. The room is fairly small (11.5 X 14 x 8). The source is a Rotel RCD971 with MSB link DAC III w/ half Nelson upgrade. The speaker's specs are 86db/w/m , 6 ohm, although apparently they are a pretty stable load.
If the Unico isn't powerful enough, can anyone recommend a good match to this setup?
I find that the NHT's along with the given source can sound fairly sterile with the wrong pream and amplification. I am looking for something that will give me depth and overall dimensionality, control , body, musicality and sheer drivability. The cost of the Unico is as high as I can go (even that's pushing it).
thanks
