Rega R1

Hi

Anyone have/listened to this speaker? Any good against a back wall?

Rega has no official distributor in SA and there's one dealer who has the R1/R5 but refuses to import the RS range because of the exchange rate - Rega speakers are still made in England (something I admire).

Reason is cos I'm not really happy with my Arcam Solo Mini/B&W 685 combo - I have them up against the back wall - which is brilliant for movies but not so good for music.

I have a smallish room so that's why I want to change the speakers.

They should be fine against a wall according to Rega...

They even made/make wall brackets for the R1s to fix them directly to walls...

Thanks Chebby, the dealer's even offered to let me take them home and audition. These might be exactly what I want.
