Description :
Power up the Unison and connect it to a suitably capable system, and you’ll find the effort more than worthwhile. This Italian behemoth is also one of the most enjoyable amps around. It has a bold, outgoing sound that trades a little subtlety for a big-boned presentation packed full of tonal colour. The effect may not be wholly natural but, with the right material, the results can be stunning. There’s plenty of refinement, but this Unison delivers it without a hint of the dynamic blandness most other refined amps think passes for high-end sound. Move onto something punchier, say Eminem’s When the Music Stops and the Unico 100 responds with enthusiasm. Here, the amplifier delivers plenty of muscle – no surprise when you consider its 180-watt per channel output – and pleasing scale. You are left in no doubt as to the intent or power of the recording.

Putting nitpicking hats on, the Unico 100 could do with crisper timing and more articulate bass. At times it sounds just a little heavy-handed at low frequencies, which affects agility and articulation. These shortcomings aren’t massive and they certainly don’t stop this integrated amp from being a great listen. The Unico 100 isn’t the best all-round integrated amplifier for the money – it needs crisper timing and tauter bass for that. However, there’s no denying that many people will love this amp’s outgoing character. It’s just the thing to give a tired or bland-sounding set-up a real kick.
