Rega amps and preamps


Anyone have first hand experience with them?
How do they compare to Naim?
I currently own a Nait 5 and love the "naim sound"but would like more power. Unfortunately, larger Naim amps are too expensive at the moment to consider.
The rega amp i'm considering is the Exon and Hal pre.

Thanks

I have never heard the separates, but I did own an all Rega system, anchored by the Mira integrated at one time. In the context of that system, I really was impressed, especially at the price. The sound was not tube-like, but I guess you could call it warm solid-state. Not ultra revealing, but punchy and fast. When I moved on to different (non-Rega) speakers and sources I found the sound less to my liking. I think Rega is like Naim in that their electronics tend to really shine best in the context of their overall system. So you may want to consider what other gear you'll be pairing it with.
