I have a Unison Research Unico P, which I initially got because of my bookshelf speakers not having enoug warmth.
I have paired it with Leema Xero speakers and I have a lot of warmth. I also changed the russian tube for a NOS and it is definitely clearer. However, there isn't enough weight in the sound. The speakers are at one end of a very long room (35fts), which is rather narrow (12fts).
Although this amp is great, very few people have Unison Research Hybrid amps, so it is difficult to find infos on matching it with speakers. I am considering two options, although I would welcome any other suggestions too, to gain a more room filling sound
option 1: Dali Mentor Menuet (because the are small, so would fit on my shelves, and seem to still be an upgrade to the Leemas)
option 2: Spendor A5 (because they seem to be amazing while very small -- less than 80cm high and rather narrow -- floorstand speakers).
I was also advised to use it with Sonus Faber speakers, whereas one of the forum members suggested it might be too soft a speakers given the natural softness of the amp.
In summary: I need speakers which will not find ugly space absorber while deliverying precise and full of presence sound.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
