Rega Brio R or Alex R for new Klipsch Heresy III's.

Greetings. Been exploring options for a new integrated for my Heresy III's. I like these 2 options and the sterling reviews they get across the board. I prefer simple 2 channel amplification. Phono section is nice, no need for a DAC or lots of bells and whistles. I have the Apollo R cd player so these seemed like logical choices. I have where Rega products have a "synergy" with each other. Will the Elex R qualitatively sound much better for the extra $$? I can't demo them side by side so input is most appreciated....

I use both, the Elex for my main rig and the new Brio for a small 2nd system. They are very similar. With a high efficiency speakers the extra watts wouldn’t be necessary imho. I really couldn’t comment if Rega would be a good pairing though, I believe a lot of guys are using SET or low powered class A with their classic Klipsch speakers...

Thank you. Yes, a lot of Klipsch owners like their tube amps. They are just not my cup of tea. I still have some work to do....

I have a Peachtree Nova 300 that I use with my computer system driving a pair of Heresy I. It has very detailed and clean sound and includes a nice DAC, phono pre, HTBP, and lots of inputs. I had a Rega Apollo R CD player and it sounded great with the Peachtree. I bought my Nova 300 refurbished for less than the price of the Elex. If you look on the web you can find a similar deal. Worth taking a look at.
