My uncle have one set of Rega ELA floorstand too, they are very fast and have good soundstaging, and the bass is bass-right rather than really deep. With the right amp they sound so alive with all types of music, very realistic, agile and dynamic. He told me the old style Ela Mk 1 or Mk 2 (ie pre Ela 2000), are better sounding than any new speaker under £2000 he can think of. The recent models are rather different sounding. The originals are fast, have the most fabulous treble and mid-range (vocals are wonderful) and have realistic bass rather than the artificially 'impressive' boosted mid-bass of so many modern ported speakers. They are easy to drive with a small integrated. Dom's Nait/Ela combination is a classic and you have to spend about x3-5 more to get a really significant improvement.
They will wipe the floor with a set of budget speakers, because those early ELA's are the best speaker Rega have ever made!!

Congrats on the purchase!
I think the bass driver is a 'lil bit too small.. how's the bass reproduction?

Hi guy, found another speaker looks alike Rega ELA,
tweeter, woofer and speaker body very similar to Mk1.75 and Mk2

But wht is this? so big chunk

So found your perfect match *amp* for your Speakers yet?? wanna go see call me too .. I wanna re shortlist my options.

have anyone match the Ela 2000 with Cayin A50T int tube amp???

going for this set but wabt to have some advice

Hi likchan. You like the Ela 2000? but i think its easier to find it in Singapore rite?  i was asking quotation from there before i found my Ela MK1.
Last time a seasoned audiophiles told me this Brit speaker can match with Rega's Brio (natural choice), Naim Nait 3 or Exposure amp. Coincidently he was looking for pre Ela 2000 that time.
As you might know that Rega speaker is rather natural then warm, so tube amp can be a good choice too. Wanna try your some old Ela? There are many old Ela's fans/owner in EU still claims that Ela Mk1 and Mk1.5 are still the best in Rega Ela series, just that its not easy to find in Malaysia.
