hi, Dave,
thanks
last question: will the rs3s have the same degree of musical merit and detail my ol' ela 2000s do, i wonder? i am pretty much satisfied with the ela 2000s - though was bit by that hi-fi bug, you know -, however, i would not like to lose ANY of the great talents the ol' speakers have just for the sake of it... to ask it plain: are the rs3s a better speaker than the ela 2000s?
...Obviously, Rega believe that their latest speakers are better than the earlier models...
Is there any chance at all of hearing them at home or, if all else fails, for you to take your ELA's along for a shop demo ?
Perfect thread for me here. My listening room (man cave) is 4 x 3.4m (13x11ft) and I'm looking for a pair of speakers to suit. I heard the RS1 dem'd with Arcam CD17/A38 and thought they were fabulous (the clarity!) but felt I should go for the RS3s as I might be missing something with the smaller speakers but now (having read Folkman's post) I'm thinking of wall mounting a set of RS1s as the room is upstairs with a plywood floor and is excitable in the bass dept. What do you think? Also, has anyone compared the PMC DB1i to the RS1? Any thoughts would be appreciated. To be used with Arcam CD37/A38 (ordered, should be here for the weekend-can't wait!).
