leemaze,
"Rega RS1 are nice, detailed and mellow. I have them with the A-S801 currently."
I'll second that.
No deep bass and flimsy grilles but the rest of it is as good as I've heard in a small speaker. I know it sounds like a fault but they have a way of singing as if the sound coming from inside the cabinet is joining in with sound coming from the drivers.
They, then no longer sound like small speakers. I don't currently use mine but I don't want to part with them.
I've not heard any of the Ascend speakers but from all the mentions they're getting here and what little I know about them they too seem worth checking out.
