These are going spare now, so here are a pair of Rega Alyas for sale.
I bought them locally cheap as they were advertised with a blown bass driver, which was replaced with a brand new one from Rega via Frank Harvey Hifi in Coventry.
The previous owner had 'upgraded' the tweeters to what I believe are the current specification ZRR ones used in the RS range.
I have had confirmation from Paul Darwin @ Rega that these are a drop in replacement with the old Vifa units.
With the newer tweeters, they sound smoother than I remember the R1, R3 or R7 that I have had previously.
The downside of these new tweeters is that the 3-screw PCD is different to the old 4-screw PCD from the old tweeters so the grilles no longer attach at the top but they are securely held on from the two bottom holders on the bass driver.
They are in great condition, there are a few marks on the Cherry veneer but they are not really noticable.
These work really well up near rear walls and have really tight, punchy bass as you would expect from the smaller Rega speakers.
Looking for £100 collected from Faringdon, or possible delivery to Scalford in March.
