A Rega Mira 3 is the core of my secondary system connected to VonSchweikert VR1 monitors and a REL Strata sub. I consider it very dynamic with superb imaging and soundstaging. With that combination I have not even considered upgrading. In my 11'x13' room I do need to crank the Rega about 3/2 up on volume in order to get loud sound but there is no noticeable distortion at that level. Certainly the REL fills out the bass more than adequately.
