REGA RS5... any owner?


I keep looking for a good floorstander with a small footprint that can do bass. Almost all manufacturers publish their specs, but Rega does not. Can the RS5 do bass? in other words produce below 40hz in a 14 x 16ft room? Are they laid back or forward sounding?
Thank you for your help!

This Rega R5 review will give you a useful answer.

I used the Rega Aras (now the R1s) for a number of years and there always was good bass, as long as you had near back wall placement.

Without knowing your budget, I would consider the Sierra 1 from Ascend Acoustics and add the matching pedestal stand. Remarkable performance and excellent tuneful bass. The solid bamboo construction really lowers the noise floor. There is also a 30 day money back trial.
