I found a pair of the R3's used for a steal so I picked them up. They do have a VERY different sound than I was expecting, compared to the NHT Classic 3's I was using. Not sure yet if it's good or bad. The detail is there, imaging is excellent, and they are a bit more forward but don't get harsh (could be the tubes?)
Bass is lean but accurate and not bloated in any way, as I'm strictly listening to them with my REL sub off to see what they sound on their own.
I did expect a bit warmer sound, and was quite suprised with the zippy sound of the Rega's. I will post more as I try different placement, etc.
Thanks and I welcome furhter input.
