Any news about the R7 new speakers?

I like the simple system approach. Nice. Has anyone heard the new Rega speakers like the R7? I heard the R5 model at a dealer and thought they sounded great with the Mira 3 integrated amp and Apollo CDP. I bought the Apollo to replace my Rotel CDP. I am very pleased with the Apollo and want to try new speakers. Considering the R7 (transmission line design) but need to hear from those who own, or at least, auditioned a pair.

Hi Douglas, thank you for your kind words. Speaking about Rega may they are more famous for their sources. So it’s nearly a year that my Rega Naos are no longer in production, I don’t know the current production I only know that they have changed a lot. What I can say about Naos is that they are sweet but not mellow and thankful to their transmission line architecture they have a strong control of bass region ( probably their best feature ), great medium, good treble but not so precisely, in the same class of price I heard something better ( for example ProAc, but ProAc bass went everywhere without control ). I am very happy now with my equipment, in the future I will look forward to change cdp, I will tray to remain in Italy considering Audio Analogue, Lector or Unison, but as you said new Rega cdp is a very good choice .
Finally I’d like to say that the room where a stereo rigs is placed is the primary piece of equipment.
Best Regards
Gianluca

I love your simple/clean lines and layout of your room. Very pleasing; good job!

What are your impressions of the Rega speakers? I have not seen many of them in rigs, and I'm just curious.

If you want to really juice your system, check out the just released Rega Saturn cdp.
