SS Budget "Tone" Integrated Amplifiers

@mermaid_smiles -

So, all I know is that you have a small room.  Don't know your budget or what you like to listen to.  I had the Rega set up in a 15 x 10 x 8 1/2 room.  It played plenty loud without coaxing the volume control much.   

I have recommended speakers mostly in the $1K range because I am in my 60's and don't have too many claims on the few extra bucks I have.

Speakers that I thought matched well with the Rega Brio ...

Omega Super Monitor 7 MKII -

Golden Ear Technologies BRX Monitors -

I would think that GET's AON2 or AON3 would work out well

Zu Audio Dirty Weekend - Crazy good and enjoyable.  2 buts - there is a wait for them (unless you find a pair used) and  they are floor standers and may be too big for your room.

There is also a pair of Opera Mezza listed here that would do very nicely with the Rega.

^Thanks, Rich.

I have a Rogue Sphinx v1 upgraded with Mullard cv4003 (12au7) tubes. It sounds awesome. Tons of power. It's a hybrid Integrated amp with two tubes for preamp and solid state for the amp. You may be able to get a used one for around $900 to $1000.

I have also heard good music come from the Rogue Sphinx. I believe I heard them with the Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary speakers. Nice pairing.
