    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    The curse of the box swapper. That or the Rega speakers and the Tannoys couldn't sound more different. Your just enjoying the difference (for now). Until the curse strikes again...

    You might well be right Paul... am I really a 'box swapper'?... maybe I am

    The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem

    Bev, if I'm honest, I have never heard a Rega product that has really done it for me. I don't care for their voicing, I find their arm grey and lifeless, even the RB1000 I had for quite a while and their speakers strike me as best, average. The whole range sounds like hifi to me, not music. Also, the OTO is in my opinion, no where near man enough to drive them, but hey, if you like them, enjoy.

    Well it's strange isn't it as the very last thing I would call the RS3's is grey and lifeless. I would actually describe them as one bit of equipment that actually doesn't sound 'like hifi' as you suggest, quite the opposite in fact, just very musical indeed

    As far as the Oto is concerned it seems to be very happy indeed with them, I know it's only 10w but that doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the Rega's

    I guess it just comes down to personal choice but I am very happy with them and the Oto combination and I cannot imagine them sounding any better with a more powerful amp to be honest
