I should have added "NAOS" to my original post as those are the ones I know.
A transmission line speaker that I still own but packed in their boxes since I moved over three years ago. They sounded wonderful with an ARC VT100 III and a Linn Genki in my previous house.
The red mahogany finish simply doesn't fit with the rest of the stuff in the living room. They were supposed to be black, but the guy called me back to say "sorry, we couldn't find black in the warehouse" and because in my mind I already owned these speakers I said ok for the other finish. I always wondered if it wasn't the old bait and switch scenario.
I should find a spot for them in the house or sell them so someone else could enjoy them.
Their turntables and electronics have always gotten most of the attention in the audio press.
I have no doubt that their bookshelf speakers sound great for the kind of money they go for as Rega as a knack for building great sounding stuff at reasonable prices.
They have a line of equipment at much higher prices now though. A sign of the times I guess.
