opinions on Rega RS1 speakers

Funny I don't own a pair these since I've mentioned them to friends on a budget who are looking for good sound for small bedroom systems or live in small apartments. All of the Rega speakers I've heard including the floor standers are nice sounding. Kudos to Rega a solid company with a excellent product line. Having said that I guess I should get myself a pair now.

Hey Mcgarick,

Rega R1s shined with the following kit: ARCAM FMJ A32 Integrated amp
ARCAM MFJ CD23 CDP

ARCAM P35 power amp:(I took out the bi-amped feature with the R1s .. they are not bi-ampable)

ATLAS Navigator all-CU ICs
ATLAS ASCENT 3.0 speaker cables

The Rega R1 Loudspeaker - A New Budget Reference

I bought a pair of RS1's today.

The dealer said to try them over the 4th weekend, right out of the box they're great!

What might they do when broken in?

I cant wait to hear the changes!

I'm glad I stumbled into the audio store that day.

My B&W ASW 600 sub seems to mate well with them too, giving the needed weight.

I'm excited.
Thanks for all the responses and comments, these are sooo under the radar.
I'm impressed to say the least. Can't wait to get them broken in.
