Good match for Rega Brio-R
Does anyone have any recommendations on excellent sounding speakers to use with the Rega Brio amp? I'm thinking my options are either 1: Cheap out and trade my current entry level bookshelves for the new Kef q350's, or 2: Look into getting a good British made speaker to accompany my growing setup which now includes three Rega items (Brio, Phono, and P3)
I know I really like everything I've heard from ProAc, Chartwell, Spendor, Rogers, etc, ect, but price points being up in the 2-3k's often makes them a bit unrealistic for my budget. I could probably do $1500 max without causing any inconvenience to my wallet, but if I spend that kind of money I want them to be GOOD.
So, anybody have any input?
PS, I'm not against an all Rega setup, the Rega speakers I have heard were awesome, but compared to the likes of Spendor they lose weight in my opinion.

I have the Rega Brio R in my second system, which is also the system that gets played the most. I went a different path with single driver speakers, the Omega Super 7 Monitor MK2. I find the sound from single driver speakers very seductive. Vocals have an in the room presence. Because they are a 7 inch driver, they play loud and with finesse. Running out of steam is not an issue. An omni version of this speaker is possible, as well. The set-up includes an Emotiva ERC-2 cd player, Stanton ST 150 turntable, Sumiko Pearl cartridge, Audience Ohno speaker cables, AudioQuest Black Mamba II interconnects. https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/monitor-speakers/products/super-7-monitor-speaker?variant=... http://www.needledoctor.com/Audience-OHNO-Speaker-Cable?sc=2&category=72885 http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AQBMII http://www.needledoctor.com/Sumiko-Pearl?sc=2&category=62591 Rich |
