Really? That is very interesting because I keep hearing how bright they are. Or perhaps you mean they ARE bright but not in an annoying way?

^Thanks! I will try to audition if I can. Really interested in what actual real life users have to say. If anyone did any comparisons and can recommend the IO (or maybe something else), please share. I might stretch the budget if it's worth it.

Hi! Thinking of putting together a small, affordable but musically satisfying setup in my small room (4x3m). Sources will be 95% digital, playing files (redbook, Hi-Res downloads, needledrops) stored on my hard drives, plus some streaming. I listen to all kinds of music: 60-80s classic rock...

Anyone here own the Rega IO? Interested in real use opinions on this amp (especially in light of the pretty harsh ASR review).

Congrats on your setup! How do you find the IO? Would you recommend it? I don't know the size of your room, but given it's just 30 watts - any trouble driving those floorstanders?

Would be interested to hear your impressions!(y)

Pardon me for jumping in... :)I'm a novice in hifi, and I'm also considering a setup for a small room (4 x 3 m). The Rega Io has caught my eye repeatedly.... really tempted by reviews which are favorable across the board. It's only 30w though, do you think it will produce enough bass out of...

I've read Rega amps are known to have humming issues. Does the IO exhibit this trait as well? Also, could anyone recommend a good speaker under 1K that would be a perfect match for this amp? Small room (4x3 meters), listening position about 1.8-2m away, placement about 30cm from the front wall...
