The wood detailing is now confined to the front panel, but embellished by the addition of contrasting circular inserts, also of wood, which give a more attractive look to the controls. The appearance in design, as noted, has undergone a radical change.

The output power - approximately 12W per channel - remains the same, however the output impedance is now 6-Ohms, making the amplifier suitable for use with both 4-Ohm and 8 Ohm loudspeakers. Their experience over many years in designing and producing integrated amplifiers has enabled us along the way to create models which have become highly-valued classic pieces one example amongst many being the famous Unison Research ABSOLUTE.Ĭompared to its predecessor the Simply Two, the new SIMPLY ITALY presents a number of modifications and changes, however it maintains the same musical balance, functionality and is still extremely reliable. Consider for example the fundamental importance of avoiding interference between each single component and between each stage (power supply, control, preamplifier, power output). The design of an integrated amplifier is considerably more complex and critical that that of a separate pre or power amplifier. Another important aspect lies in the considerable cost reduction (a single chassis, less cabling, both for power supply and interconnects). We are convinced that integrated amplifiers can offer many advantages, not only by simplifying the whole music replay system, but more importantly because of the improvements to sound quality that can be obtained by this method. It is similar in many aspects of the electronic design to the earlier model, but with a new, more modern appearance than the famous Simply Two.įaithful to Unison Research tradition, this new amplifier is also an Integrated. Taking their cue from the Simply Two, Unison Research decided to redesign and produce a new, small, integrated valve amplifier: called SIMPLY ITALY.
