Guest OldSchool1 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Hi guys, I am going to buy a pair of twenty 21. I am sure that I will be happy with the Rega Elex R but the budget is a bit tight. I have read a lot of positive reviews about the Brio R. Do you think it is powerful enough to drive the twenty 21s? Thanks.
Hydrology Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 The Brio-R is a special little amplifier but the extra headroom of the Elex-R would be better. Trust me, once you go the Elex-R you will never look back.
Bunno77 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 They'll run but won't perform anywhere near their best.
Guest OldSchool1 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks @Hydrology and @ Bunno77. I think I need to go with Elex R. I will start a WTB thread before buying the new ones.

I listed a WTB for an Elex-R and sure enough, being, stereo.net, got one in great condition quickly and am incredibly happy with it.... of course now I feel that my TT needs to be upgraded to match the great phono stage in the amp. and I will make sure I never listen to an Elicit either, that would be dangerous! Best of luck and if you want to pop in and listen you're more than welcome 1

djb Posted May 14, 2017 Posted May 14, 2017 Agree the brio isn't up to much. It won't drive the 21s well
