I am intrigued by the Minuets. Almost double the cost of the Bronzes. My guess is I'll keep them for a while, realize the amp deserves better. Sell at a loss and do it all over again!

Not sure why you'd guess that, and I'd strongly disagree that the Minuets may not be worthy of the Brio -- personal tastes aside of course.  Many people run Minuets with considerably more than a sub-$1000 integrated and are very happy.  Also keep in mind the Minuets are a relatively easy load for an amp, which is something you should consider with a 50 Wpc integrated.  Case in point, before you pursue the Uni-Fi further you should read the CNET review that found an 80 Wpc amp not able to get the best out of them given the Elac's relatively low sensitivity and sub-4Ohm minimum impedance.  This is one reason many of us recommend purchasing speakers before, or at least coincidentally with, an amp.  All that aside, if you're concerned about losing money, Minuets do pop up here used fairly regularly so that could be another option.  Hope this helps, and again, best of luck in your search. 

Hey soix
My comment was in regards to out growing the Bronze 2. I'm sure the Minuets would be a totally different story. I do have concerns about the low sensitivity of the Elacs. I bought the amp first because I found an open box deal for $750. I should slow down a bit and check out the used market here. Thanks for the input. 

Thanks uncledemp. Sound advice indeed 

I'd second uncledemp:  it's not worth looking for other speakers until your Rega is set up & broken in.  My Silver 2's have some obvious limitations but are still highly revealing of all the upstream changes I've made; from what I've read, 'telling it like it is' is a MA trait.  The front port on the Bronze should make them amenable to quite a few placement options if your room permits.  The Elacs are solid choice at their price point, but not a $1000 speaker in disguise, and (as soix said) would probably pair best with a more powerful amp.

Don't know about pairing MA speakers with Rega gear (Had Harmon Kardon and Marantz receivers), but I had the Silver 6's as my main speakers for almost 10 years and they were very good for their price. This year I moved them to my HT system and now have the MA Gold 300's for my stereo system and they are very nice.  But one thing with buying new gear, as uncledemp said, patience.  Things can sound a lot different after a bit of play time.
