Help choosing Speakers for Rega Brio-R

+1 for full Rega system and system synergy. I'd be willing to bet an audition of the RS1 or even a stretch to the RS3 would leave you silly happy. Ron Sexsmith just got a pair of RS1s. If it's good enough for him... :)

i got the Rega R1 in the past they were too bright for my taste, i sold them for that reason, lots of details but i could not be listening more than 1/2 hr.

bummer about the brightness experience. another option might be silverline minuet supremes. i had the older version and thought they were fantastic but never had them paired with my brio 3 and don't know how they would sound with the brio r. good luck in your search.

I had the same experience as Junglern with Rega R1s. I was running an original Brio and Silverline Minuets were a very good match. I've read that the RS1s are more refined, though, and speaker preference is absolutely a matter of taste.

so true about speaker preference. it's all different strokes for different folks,with no real right or wrong. another option with the brio r, if you were interested in a floorstanding speaker, would be the vandersteen 1c. i bought a pair for $225 on craigslist, added the $105 stand, and was good to go. it sounded very good with my brio 3. used prices on the silverline prelude make that another attractive option if you're open to a floorstander.
