Need feedback on Rega Mira 3 integrated amp

I listened to the Mira 3 with Rega R5 speakers the other day at a dealer and thought the combination sounded good for the money. I would not go with the R5 but will consider the Mira 3 mated to a smaller monitor for a second system in my house. It has an output of 69 watt (8 ohm) a side and I am concerned this may be a little lite. Any experience with the Mira 3 is appreciated.

It lacks a little dynamics and doesn't have much bass extension. But if you mate it with small monitors, neither of these will be problems. It will work just fine!

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.

According to the Rega manual, you can make some kind of internal changes to adjust the gain. I guess the idea is to make sure that the volume control has a usable range over a variety of systems. At first reading I could not figure out how to make this adjustment though. Sigh.
