Unison Research UNICO Secondo

Advantages: Great amplifier for its value. Plays all styles from classic to hard rock. Well controls acoustics. No distortion even at full volume.

Disadvantages: At high volume (more than 70%), other sources are heard (if active) by the selector. The back panel could be made thicker for completeness.

Comment: I recommend for music lovers, because wins back all styles.

Advantages: Very nice sound. Pure stereo image. Great articulated bass (playfully chases a 10 inch speaker for a couple, see if necessary). Xlr input Wooden remote control :) Monitor output - it is possible to organize multiroom, or plug in a headphone jack or some other useful piece of hardware, and the input switch on the monitors works even when it is turned off (except for xlr). Equally well reproduces both dynamic music like metal or Prodigy, as well as detailed classics or jazz.

Disadvantages: A small battery (as from a computer) in the remote, but changed 1 time in 4 years. Only volume can be adjusted from the remote. Lamps have a limited resource, they will have to be replaced in about 10 years or so. When turned on, it warms up and tests itself for about half a minute.

Comment: You can, of course, say that the on-off key, warming up for half a minute and manual channel switching have a negative effect on the usability ... But this is not so. Such an interface creates a kind of ritual, which only once again adjusts to meaningful listening to music. And in general, I see no reason to click the selector from the console - change CDDA or vinyl - it is necessary to go to the rack anyway. The XLR input also came in handy - I connected a media comp to it. In any case, acquiring it, say after the music center, you are waiting for a rethinking of their musical tastes. This amplifier will impartially sound the material. And it will be clear who plays well and who does not; who is good for driving, and who is bad.
I love this my amp. I recommend to everyone. If suddenly something happens to him, God forbid, something happens ... I will buy the same or a relative.
