Help choosing Speakers for Rega Brio-R

After a month looking for an amp over a 100 watts for my 87db
System audio monitors, i decided i will keep my rega, and i will find a pair of speakers with your help as always.

The rega will be very covenient in terms of size and phono built in, during my graduate school, just need a pair of speakers now, i am into vinyls as well, using a rega Rp1.
Budget less than 1k new or used.

thank you guys, and happy holidays.

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.

the vandersteens really are a steal. i hadn't realized that they had been upgraded yet again until i saw the 1CI designation in your post, johnny. now with tweeter from the 3A? i love the continual improvements to the line and the way components from the higher priced products make their way to the lower priced products.
