For 2026 I decided to go from a hybrid integrated back to separates. Changed out Unison Research Unico Secondo for PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Pre and Musical Fidelity M6s PRX power amp. A modest system that sounds fantastic.
Monster 5100 is great. Ive had it for about 20 years and it’s never let me down. Nothing fancy about it. Just good power filtering and protection. I know there are better options these days, but $500 20 years ago was money well spent.
