today i got my first hi-fi demo under my belt!
i listened to the rega brio r and was very impressed.
i tried it with two different speakers - rega r1s and MA Bronze BX2s and i strangely found the MAs sounded better to my ears (and the wife's).
i played errors-rumour in africa (great band - criminally overlooked) on vinyl and certain bass notes seemed to boom on the r1s. i also played stone roses-i wanna be adored on vinly, which sounded good on the r1s but had much more of a 'yes' factor on the MAs.
this felt confusing as the MAs were nearly half the price of the r1s and the brio/r1s are both made by rega, which you think would be better link up.
i didn't purchase today but will do next week. should i demo more speakers or go with my initial thoughts? any other advice on other good speaker/brio partnerships
