Rega system one advice as its on sale right now?

It seems like a fantastic deal.

If you care about the next steps, there is no upgrade path for you other than the amp that alone is $725.

if you can try it out, it's worth for sure, because I know nothing about the speakers (and they may or may not work in your room) but I am a huge Rega fan, the turntable and amp will be fine.

@ranmart I would order it if there is a return option. Again, to me the speaker is the weak link in this Rega package.

The easiest way to upgrade is to buy gear that others want - it will be easy to sell and not lose money. I think the most important part of the system is the amp. I learned it slowly and at my own expense but it’s the soul and heart of your system. The second most important thing for me was aesthetics/culture.

Your room is a nice size for smaller speakers to make it work.

I don’t like brand recommendations because it’s so subjective, I think there are 20+ brands in each category that work well. The key is how they work together, the magic word: synergy.

I swear by Rega and Fluance for turntable. I also had Project and mmf, Project is great too.

I would research what phono amps are best in integrated amps, because there is a wide range, I only know the brands I had and kept.

I spent a lot of time to test speakers in the 1000-1500 range, new so that I could try them out, but they cost 5-700 used. I tried 9 different pairs in 5 months and the more I tested, the unhappier I became.

I only fell in love with Monitor Audio, Dynaudio and Totem speakers but it’s all subjective. In your price range there are a lot of cool speaker brands, the resale value would be decent on Sonus, KEF, Klipsch, B&W, etc. If you have the time, look at usaudiomart, where I bought and sold most of my gear. I read great things about the Zu, and I am very interested in Buchardt and Harbeth/Spendor speakers, higher end of the budget.

There are audiophiles with gear worth of 10s of 1000s on this forum, the only reason I comment now is that I had the same budget as you. I eventually ended up with Rega P3 - slightly used, MF A3.2 Amp, used and Dynaudio Evoke, new speakers. I can’t say I am happier than I was 3 years ago when I started switching everything out, but that’s the bug thing, it’s about the journey. My marriage is definitely under a lot of stress because of this. :)

the good thing about your budget is that audiophiles with the bug will want to upgrade from their current system and will sell their grear for under a $1000 that they bought for way more. It just takes time.

@ranmart 

KEF is a solid speaker and Rega P2 is a step up too. I think it will be adequate for your room

so the turntable is different, specs vary by region, I would ask Rega, 

(UK) INPUT 230 V AC 50 Hz 40 mA OUTPUT 24 V AC 100 mA AC 

(USA) INPUT 115 V AC 60 Hz 90 mA OUTPUT 24 V AC 100 mA AC 

good question, I don’t know. I checked my Rega plug, it does not say. You can buy an adapter and/or converter, UK is 230V, and a lot of small electronics: laptops, phones do 110 to 230V. I wouldn’t worry about, but it’s worth asking Rega. I imagine everyone is different, depending on their market.

The Rega IO manual says Power outputs at 230/115V supply so it’s likely the same for the turntable, you will just need a 3 dollar adapter.

@yogiboy I move 3 times between Europe and the US and there are many ways to solve it
