So I am comparing my current speakers to the Unity's as I picked them up for a fellow member. Once I am done I will ship them to him, you know, in about a year or so
I will start the fun once my Minidsp Nanoavr and mic arrive so I can dial these bad boys in.
I have my Sony es 2800, then my Ada. I could always slap the clone on any if need be. What is the sensitivity of them? Most likely around 99 dBs with dual woofs? My Sony could take them pretty loud and the clone could blow them up so I have it covered. The Ada is the so called high end amp with class A,AB. I don't listen above 105 dBs with speakers so any would work. I will also try one out as a center channel compared to mine.
Sorry, power is power and I will show the THD to go along with them. My puny Sony ran my speakers, JTR 888LP's, and SEOS to reference all with less than 2% THD. The DR's and JTR's had one frequency with more though. I do have amps in case
To each his own. But I dont believe in graphs when it comes to sound quality. These speaker's high end can sound harsh and their midbass very average when they are given low power.

Trust me, If I can tame the highs on 40 piezo horn tweeters I don't think the unity horn will be a problem. I don't just plug and play, I will dial them in and then start over again and again if need be.
I don't know, after all this time I know what I like and if something sounds off I will find why. The SEOS seem to sound great out of the gate as well as the JTR's and others.
If you guys have not figured it out yet these are Luke's speakers. As you guys know I always like to listen for myself to the popular speakers and subs that get hyped around here and now I can hear these which are at that level. It keeps me updated! My minidsp did not come in today so tonight will be useless. I can always just hook them up for now.
I got in late after tennis. I will drag them downstairs tomorrow. I still have my speaker wires from my SEOS comparison but I just have to replace the binding posts with speakons.
1800 watts would be 130 dBs! Unless I care about max power compression sweeps 105 dBs peaks is all I need.
I am hooking them up tonight to just get a feel but only sony EQ and built in computer mic. My calibrated behringer mic's sound card is not compatible with windows 8. So just initial feel and ready for serious listening. I will check the front door again in case it shows.
