Nolitan: not sure if my system qualifies as reavealing but I have been using B&W speakers in my main system: initally 805s and now 704s. Not quite in the snack bracket you mention but these are pretty revealing for the money. Rega sounds great. Had an LP12 before and I prefer the Rega.
Recently heard P5/Elyse2 fronting a high end Krell/Bryston/big B&W 800 series system at a local hifi shop and the sound was compelling (they are also a Linn dealer but were using the Rega in this system).
