Anyone heard the AE Reference One speakers with the Rega Elex R amp? Looks like it could be a nice combination...

Would the amp be "enough" for those espeakers?

Long term aim is to switch to standmounts, and these seem to be good value - especially with matching stands.
 
I’ve not heard that combination but I’ve always enjoyed these speakers. Wanted to add that both AE themselves, and some dealers have B grade cabinet models at about half RRP, around £800, currently on eBay.

As you’re after an amp, you should also compare with the AE1 actives, which you might prefer.
 
In the past, I've found AE1's need a fai bit of space to perform at their best, so if you have room to play with in your own listening room, do investigate them. If auditioning, do listen to them in a simlar situation to your own, and I'd certainly audition at home with this model (with the intended amplifier).
