While my regular tube amp was in for service, I spent a couple of weeks with a Rega integrated. (I believe it was the "Maia", not 100% sure 'bout that though.) I found it to be an enjoyable piece with a fairly warm, smooth sound for a solid state piece. Black Diamond cones -- #3 "hardness" -- helped improve the sound. It seemed very well built, and showed zero problems even though it was the dealer demo/loaner piece. If I were looking for a low-priced/good-sound solid state rig, I'd look for one of those for sure. Just my $.02...
500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear.
Currently using Yamaha RXV1000 to power PSB Alpha A/V (6ohms)with Music Hall MMF CD25 connected to 5.1 inputs. Current set up sounds a little harsh, and I like a smoother sound. AQ Diamondback ics, Monster Original speaker cables. I also dont want to mess with tubes. Would consider used SS stuff. Thanks for the help!
