well, i picked up a Unison Research Unico to try out at home. First impressions...Open, very wide, quite detailed (but not hyper-detailed like some others)Quite good imaging...sometimes it seems a bit 'phasey' (certain details seem to come from 'o... 
Integrateds - Revisited Yet Again
hello there,thank you for your detailed posting on the Moon I-5.I am aware that many companies use marketing hype in their product sales andI suspect that many 'pay in' to audio magazines for good reviews- or atleast that the reviews are biased in...

well, i tried the Caspian mkI with my speakers, but it just didn't do the trickit had firm control of the bass and was very smooth, but it was too recessed in the midrangethe treble was either too rolled off OR it simply didn't have enough transpa... 
Energy ESM-2 Anyone else remember them?
HeyyyyI had a pair of ESM-4's WAAAAAAY back (musta been 15 years ago). They were great with a little nad integrated 3225pe (or was it 3025pe?) and Nad 5325 CD player.Actually, I kinda wish I had never sold them b/c I suspect I would still like the...

Speakers for NAD 3020 integrated. under $200?
if you can find them, look for an old pair of Energy ESM 4's. I had a combo similar to this years ago and it had great synergy. Further, it was a bit 'dark sounding' or rather, a bit on the 'warmer' side, so it was almost always a pleasure to list... 
Speakers for Creek 5350SE+Arcam FMJ CD23T
I will 3rd the Epos.I have heard the 5350se with the M12 (i think that's what they were called - the Epos bookshelf speaker) and it was a really good combo. Crisp, clean, detailed. Perhaps a bit 'hot' for my liking. I would imagine that with cabli...

ok , excellent, someone with first hand experience with the Caspian...I have a pair of NHT 2.5i's rated at 86db/w/m. nom. 6ohm.Do you feel that the Caspian IA would be able to drive them properly to higher than moderate levels? (I normally listen ...

Which amp in this system?
Timo,I've read mixed reviews on the D-130. I heard it's sorta flabby in the bass region and not very transparent. Could you shed some more light on this amp, as I would have to buy it used, sound unheard. thanks.AND,Thanks for your suggestion tire... 
Monitor selection
the psb's are probably not what you're looking for...Totem ones would be nice. They offer quite good soundstaging / imaging and reproduce midrange in a very realistic manner. btw, i suspect that your Parasound is a hindering factor in the overall ... 
Break in of Link DAC III
UPDATE:MSB was unable to confirm whether or not the Canadian distributor for their products IS, in fact, authorized to do the Half Nelson upgrade. Seems strange, I know, but after much hemming and hawing, I did not get a clear cut answer. What I d...
