ASL 1003DT Integrated or Unico Hybrid Integrated
The specs for the Europas say recommended power is 15 to 120 wpc. The 1003DT is well within that range. My room is 12 x 18 but one side is completely opened to the rest of the house which is 50 ft long. I listen at moderate volumes. It can drive t... 
ASL 1003DT Integrated or Unico Hybrid Integrated
What a coincidence. I am currently using an AQ-1003DT and it replaced a Unico. So I have extensive experience with both. I had them both on hand at the same time so I was able to compare them head to head. To me the Unico is a great amp. It combin... 
Bookshelf vs. Floorstand
imo you should go with the auditor. not one of the floorstanders you have listed is full range. they only provide a little more bass extension then the auditor. in order to get full range sound from any of the four speakers you listed you are goin... 
sonus faber auditor vs 804
my room is 12x18 with 8 ft ceilings but one of the sides is completely opended to the rest of the house which is about 50 ft long. i am using set of jbl northridge series speakers for ht. they come with wall mount hardware. they are amazing for th... 
sonus faber auditor vs 804
1) I have owned a pair of 805's, sf concertos (original not home) and auditioned the auditor and grand piano. In my mind the sf's are better for stereo and the b&w kick a$$ in ht. It basically comes down to which do you spent more time listeni... 
CJ CAV 50 and Sonus Faber concertos
I used an ASL AQ1003DT, a 30wpc integrated tube amp like the CJ, with a pair of original Concertos and it sounded great. I believe the CJ is 50wpc so it should drive them even better. My room is 12x18 but one of the sides is completely open to the... 
So what sub are you using for your Home theater?
SVS Ultra with Samson S1000. Goes deep, is quick and accurate. Everyone who has heard this sub in my house has left in awe of the impact this speaker dishes out. You have to experience it to believe. My room is only 12'x18' but one of the sides is... 
Thoughts on the Unico
i had the unico for a couple of monthes. To me it was a great amp. It sound awesome with both of the speakers i had on it, b&w 805 and sf concertos. i would say the sound is somewhat laid back, a little punchy but not the most crisp or detail ... 
which hybrid amp?
i owned the unico for a couple of monthes. i used it with a pair of nautilus 805s and then a pair of sonus faber concertos. it was a great match for both. it is definitely on the warm side and is very nuetral. close your eyes and you can swear you... 
Will 36 tube watts power my Sonus Fabers?
i have a pair of concertos the originals, not home, which are less efficient, 87db, powered by an asl aq1003dt. this amp produces 30wpc and it is more then enough. my room is 12 x 15 with an 8 foot cieling and is opened to the rest of the house wh... 
Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls
forgot to mention one other thing. i used to own a pair of 805s and i used it with the unico for about a month. they are a great match. the tubes tamed the nautilus tweeter a little, and added some more sweetness to an already excellent midrange. 
Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls
i have heard the classe a couple of times once one a pair of magnepans and another time on a pair of revel f30s. i was not impressed with it. it did not draw me into the music. it was very boring and not very refined. never heard the mcintosh. if ... 
B&W Signature 805 vs Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor?
i am in the same boat too. i owned 805s and now have sf concertos. i am very interest in hearing the sig since i have heard a couple of people say they are a lot better then the nautilus. i can't wait till the auditor comes out too. luckily i have... 
is the Unico enough?
i am using a unico with a pair of sonus faber concerto, original version which is only 86 db at 8 ohms. my room is about 12x18x8 but it is opened to the rest of the house which is about 40 feet long. i don't listen to music that loud but i never h...
