Thoughts on the Unico

Ok, to those of you who own the Unison Research Unico or who have heard it, please give me your thoughts. I have other threads going that tell of matching problems i'm having (NHT 2.5i's).

what are the amp's characteristics? Is it a VERY laid back, SOMEWHAT laid back, or more of an UP FRONT sounding amp?

How does this Unico compare to the likes of Creek 5350se, Cyrus integrated, Primare i20 or A30, Classe CAP101 or CAP151, Naim Nait 5, Musical Fidelity A3.2 or even the Moon I5? I can get any of these in my area.

I prefer a crisp, detailed sound that is somewhat punchy (not overly so) and at the same time i enjoy depth and dimentionality (i understood the Unico was a good combination of all of these characteristics...does anyone know any better?)

I'm just not sure if i should lose the Amp OR the NHT's or BOTH!!

I think I should look into picking up smaller monitors for my room, b/c first and foremost, my speakers are too large for the room.

But any thoughts on my integrated would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys.

You've all been very helpful thus far.

Hi,
I do not know about NHT but I can tell you about the Unico integrated. I have auditioned the Unico and plenty of other including those mentioned by you and i have found it to sound very flat , I did not like it. Acording to your description of sound that you would like to have i would recomend Primare A30.1 . Creek is OK , a litle tin in medium range and harder to partner. Musical fidelity sounds to industrial in my opinion. I think that Primare will be a good choice if you can aford it , it works well with many systems. I will tell you more if you need but right now i have to go , you can email me at [email protected]
