Do you leave the Brio R on 24/7?
Hope you find the Dyns magic, and your room cooperate.. :?
And what speakers cables you'll be using? I find the combo Brio R / Dyns X12 better with 100% cooper cables!
Have fun!
So far so good, i like them.......very much!
Really good bass, plenty of detail and lovely soundstage........watch this space
I'm using Chord Rumour speaker cable

If you are going to stay with them until the weekend leave the Brio R ON 24/7 you'll ear the difference with them.

When I listened to the active Focus I found that part of the treble grating but its an entirely different speaker. Then again I found Regas older R series fun but rather unrefined (great value at the time though).
Hope these work out for you

Local dealer also has a pair of ex-demo Neat Motive 3 going for a song - I need to get them home see if I can get them to work in my new lounge.....rewind to last year I couldnt get them to sound good in my old lounge but absolutely loved them!

There's no real logical reason why the Neats shouldn't impress. You loved the sound at the dealers and that should translate to your room. That said, I know from older Dyns, they are fuller sounding than most others I've heard.
BTW, how far have you got the Dyns from the back wall?

Mine x12's are also in such a position, about 30 cm from the rear wall. When it sounds good and without booming, it can be enough.
been experimenting today, still quite like the sound of the Dyns.
Tried a bit closer to my back wall, bit too boomy so ive moved them out to 35cms and bass is tighter and sounds more controlled now
I keep thinking about the RS3 and how they would sound in 'my' lounge -

Hi Steve
Have you heard the Totem's speakers(Sttaf)? Heard them at my local Audio-T and they sound fabulous with Rega brio R

Think they maybe a little too big for Steve's requirements.
Over the months I've read quite a lot about the Sttafs and the general consensus is they aren't as good as the Arros or the Rainmakers. Can't say one-way or the other if these opinions are correct or not, but, as you know, I'm well taken by the Arros. Gorgeous sounding speaker.

I thought the Totem Dreamcatchers were lovely sounding but lacking in bass!
To add to complications my local super-fi are doing KEF R100 for £540 but they wont let me home demo, I can demo in shop but it isnt ideal is it!
Are the R100 going to need more space than the Dyns? The Dyns sound lovely but arent cheap at £755 in gloss black when I can get the R100 in gloss black for £540
Do i take a punt on the R100 by listening in Super-fi's crappy listening room? Will it matter if i dont listen to them with my amp but an audiolab amp?

Dangerous... given your experience with the Neats I'd say only buy if they offer a returns policy. Otherwise, I'd see them out. Anyway, the R300s would be more of an upgrade, I would guess.
You need to go with your own gut feeling.
