I have a pair of the Bronze 2 in a small system that I rarely use. I am also familiar with the overall Rega sound, although not having heard the Brio-R. I agree with erik_squires. The Silver series, which I once heard at a dealer, will have a greater clarity and tautness with Rega. The Bronze 2 is a good speaker at its price point but can sound a bit sluggish and thick.
