Primare/Unison Research - Thoughts?

Hello all,

I have an interest in the above makes and the specific models I am looking at are:

Primare D30.2/A30.1 - Unicon Research Unico CD/Amp

I have experienced the Primare system and have been impressed with it, however I am also interested in the Unison Research system (not had a chance to demo this yet).

Any thoughts/feedback on these pairings would be most appreciated.

Many thanks,

Steve

 

jezzer over on the hifi choice forum has the Unico setup. Not sure if he comes here too.

Hi Steve,
What speakers will you be using?
What music do you listen to?
The Primare is a cracking Amp plenty of power not over analytical but plenty of detail smooth and a bit creamy sounding can have slightly heavy bass and lack a bit of top end sparkle and dynamics aren't the strongest.
Soundstage is deep and wide and it generally has a valve like quality about it.
It sounds good with most music genres and is a good all rounder.
Its also built to a very high standard and Primare offer an excellent service re faults problems etc.
Jezzer can hopefully give you some advice on the Unico.
I think he may even have owned the Primare before but that may have been someone else.
Both are excellent Amps its just a case of what sound u like.
If you listen to a lot of rock etc you may want to look elsewhere.

I have a Primare A20 mKII amp. This is a peppery little beast. Much more a rock amp than the A30's tho the power envelope is presumably less. It happily drives a 4 ohm load [DIY 3 ways] and like all good little uns - want's a bigger challenge!
