Settled on Rega Brio R, Audiolab 8200CD and of course the MA RX1s which I already have.
Wired it all up, ran it in for a while and am delighted with results.
Everything sounds just how I wanted, plenty of strong clear clean taut bass, treble just right not too bright and not dull either. Midrange detailed and clear. Lots of detail revealed that I had not heard before.
I must say for the size of the MA speakers they have a surprising bass response.
At 9 oclock on the volume control it is really loud so plenty of power available, if I turn it up above that it is deafening.
Using the Optimal Transient setting on the Audiolab sounds best to me.
One useful thing is that the volume control and mute buttons on the Audiolab remote control actually operate on the Rega.
