Rega Brio R vs. Naim 5i integrateds...

Hi,

I have had much in the way of high-end gear...and am putting together a small system and would like to consider these two integrateds. I've had ARC, CJ, Classe and much more...mainly dipole speakers and Thiels.

So for this 2nd smaller system...I thought I would try one of these British integrateds.....understand PRAT and it seems people talk of that with these two.

If any of you have any experience with either...please share your insight with me..

Thanks

i was going to buy the Naim 5si, until i heard the new Brio.  the Naim sounded a little strident on some music.  the new 2017 Rega Brio is a better all rounder.
