Monitor Audio


I'm building a small bedroom system. The amp will be a Rega Brio R. I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Monitor Audio Bronze 2. Thinking this might be a sweet combo. 
Thanks

I have Silver 5i in my bedroom system, they have a very good sound. They hold their own in my opinion. Very clear and detailed with my modest gear.

I bought them used for a few hundred, fwiw. 
I commented above on the Monitor Audio Silver 5i - but I rotate them with Silverline Minuets. Crazy coincidence...

The Minuets sound great, but different than the 5i. I can explain why I like the 5i, but not the Silverlines. The Silverlines just sound 'right', more laid back in my system than the 5i. Laid back is generally not my cup of tea, but the Minuets are captivating to me, easy to listen to for hours. Writing about them motivates me to rotate them back in.

My Minuets are the original version, fwiw. I use them with a sub now, but have used them without and been happy. 

I'll shut up now!

How long have you had the Bronze? I'm far from an expert, but here's my humble opinion:

Give them time to settle in with your Rega gear. Play with positioning of the speakers, etc. There will always be something else better with more this or that. 

Take your time and read on here about different gear. After awhile you'll have a feel for what you want and don't want. Many great speakers will come up for sale preowned and you can take a chance for less risk.

Who knows, maybe you'll forget about the gear and just enjoy your music. 

I apologize if I've stated the obvious, just trying to help.

I've read good things about your new speakers, What Hi-fi? has been a fan for sometime. 

Sounds like you made a good choice. 

Kind regards,
