floor-stander speaker for "classical"


Dear A-gon citizens...very small room, roughly 10 x 11, and looking for above. I have Rega TT, Rega CD player and a variety of amps, including SS, chip and tube. Thoughts are appreciated. My feeling is, due to room size, this will need to be a small model.

+3 for either the Rega RS1 bookshelf models or RS3 floorstanders.

Given the small room size, you may be great with just the bookshelves.

I had the Totem Arros in a prior B system They can sound fine but only with a different amp with more "grunt".

Add in the Rega speakers to your Rega electronics and that "rega synergy" manifests itself.

Stereo Times review
The Rega R1 Loudspeaker - A New Budget Reference
December 2005

" ... Immediate impressions are a clear and transparent portrayal with very high detail retrieval, fast and controlled transient response, and superb musical timing, both in articulating rhythms and tempi, and in placing instruments within the temporal flow and context of the performance.

The RR125 is an outstanding mid/bass driver, sonically and musically right in line with the midrange performance of Rega’s amplifiers and phono cartridges.

Get the midrange right and everything else will fall into place. Get it wrong, and all the king’s horses

The Rega R1 becomes my new budget reference speaker. In addition of its ability to get the fundamentals of music right, it adds clarity and resolution, and an ability to lay out a vivid and coherent 3-dimensional stereo image. In small room applications, what more could you want?..."

Highly recommended.
