Why Do I Like My New Speakers ?

[twickers]

Yeah, just enjoy them. The Rega's I heard at Scalford sounded really good in the smallish room they were in. They obviously don't seem too fussy about those things.

Thanks Paul... Yes I will just enjoy them and stop wondering .. I'd be interested in what Rega's you heard at Scalford if you know

Not exactly sure. I know that they were powered by a Bryston B60 amp and a Sony ES dvd player. It was HoopsOnToast system. Check this link HERE for piccies.
Go to post five and scroll down a bit ' till you get to the Regas (the one with the big white lamp in the middle).

I believe they are the Rega Transmission line R9's... so way up the range in Rega speakers...

Makes sense on the end of a 2k amp I suppose.

Bev,
I owned a set of RS3's for a few years and absolutely loved them.
Know EXACTLY what you mean about them sounding "just right"...they just play music and (to me) are very much NOT hifi sounding, in fact kinda the opposite.

They just play music in an open, engaging and honest way.
If your a bass freak and have a room the size of the Albert Hall I'd look elsewhere, but in an average living room they are superb.
Their big brothers the 5's have a similar sound, just a bit more bass.
Would have happily lived with the RS3's, and had to go quite a bit higher up the spendy tree to get a noticable improvement.

Enjoy your speakers Bev, they are crackers.

Thanks Gazjam... I really am enjoying them... I'd be interested in what you replaced the RS3's with..

I guess I should put the Tannoy's back in the system and then report back on my thoughts... ... I will do this sometime....

I think you may like them because they are so bloody good at making music and just sitting nicely in your system.

Hi Attila, I'm glad you think the same as me about the RS3's but sorry that yours have driver problems. Are they repairable? I would have thought Rega would hold some stock of the drivers. I also have owned loads of different speakers over the years, including some AN's but I can't remember if they were J's or K's and although I loved them in the room I heard them in they did not work in my room at all and I sold them very quickly indeed

As you say in MY room with my system the RS3's seem very happy and what they really excel at is musical involvement so I'm a happy bunny

hi Bev, I'm a bit late in responding but thanks for your sympathy anyway - and I'm, at the same time, happy to announce that my RS3s work as they should again with an array of a complete new drivers set by the help of TAD, Rega's German partner company
