The Rega R1 is a compact bookshelf loudspeaker designed to deliver an engaging listen, characterized by its clarity and musicality. This 2-way speaker has an 8-ohm nominal impedance and a sensitivity rating of 90 dB, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers, particularly in smaller room configurations. It features a custom-designed RR125 mid/bass driver, which is a 125 mm paper cone unit noted for its transient speed and coherent musical output. The cabinet is reflex-loaded at the back, allowing for an enhanced bass response that's both articulate and rhythmically engaging. Measuring 320 mm in height, 236 mm in width, and 150 mm in depth, the R1 is suitable for bookshelf placement or can be mounted on stands. The cabinet is constructed from wood and is available in a stylish Rosenut finish. The R1 is celebrated for its ability to convey music in a natural and cohesive manner, supporting a variety of musical genres while minimizing listener fatigue. It has the ability to reveal nuances within recordings without becoming excessively analytical, making it a great option for those new to high-quality audio systems, as well as experienced listeners seeking a reliable, enjoyable speaker.
