Hi,

Anyone has experience pairing this with Rega Brio-r amp? Currently, I have the Usher S-520 with Brio-r and UD100 (DAC). Do you think XLS is going to be a level up and a better match? I listens to jazz and vocal.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers. CSC

The Brio-r is a 50w integrated amp. My experience with Rega is they are rather conservative and delivering true power. I have no experience with this amp and I believe you have no problem using this amp to drive Encore.

What do you find lacking in S-520? Looking at the woofer size I can definitely induce that it has less bass when compared to XLS Encore. My 2 cents.  tongue.gif

Yes, bass area. rclxms.gif

What is the sound characteristic of X-LS? Neutral, bright or dark. I find S-520 slightly on the clinical side (tad of bright so to speak). Just want to know how both compare and what sound to expect if I were to change. brows.gif

Cheers.
