XAVIAN Unica / hi-fi+ (UK)

"At this price level (and quite some way above), the Unicas are exceptional for their blend of tonal saturation and outright resolution. This is another place where the ‘how do they do that?’ territory of the Unicas lies, and that’s before we consider money... Give them a supporting cast of high-end calibre, and they will respond in kind, throwing generously sized soundscapes while displaying a rich palette of tonal colours without obvious colorations - for example, they don’t do the slightly euphonic midrange embellishment classic Sonus faber designs were known for."
