Nervous and excited

Hey all,

So, I just unexpectedly maybe upgraded my system, selling my beloved Sophia Baby Electric integrated and buying a Rega Mira 3, then putting up for sale my beloved Triangle Titus and buying a pair of JM Lab Focal 807v's. I also went from Mapleshade Helix speaker cable to Clear Day.

Now I'm nervous. Will the 807's be all that I think they will? The Clear Day are already a huge difference in presence and projection. I'll keep you posted. Feel free to chime in with any experiences you have with any of these components.

What was the improvements the Rega gave you over the Baby? I'm curious because I am looking at getting a small tube amp for a bedroom system and the Baby is on my list.
Also, I don't want to offend but I briefly owned the Mira 3 and couldn't sell it fast enough. Way too bright for my taste so your opinion is of interest.

The Baby, while warm and open and cohesive, simply didn't have enough power for my speakers. I wanted more projection that 10 w/ch couldn't give on 90db monitors.

No offense taken (I mean, we're talking audio components here, not cultural backgrounds). I haven't plugged the Mira into the system yet. I briefly had the Brio 3 - and before that an ARC VS-110 - and liked how the Brio matched with the Rotel. SO I went back to Rega.
