@@hifipigTv when you buy new HiFi gear you have to take into consideration the company ethics, production base ( EU or UK…sorry Brexit). He seems to have a lovely character. Did you get a test of the new Rega Aya?
No we haven't tested it. I don't think anyone makes any secret of where these speakers are made. That buying decision is then down to the individual and the research they have done with regards their build quality. To add, now that Timberworkx in Sheffield have changed their operation, I feel a lot more UK speakers will need to be made elsewhere. @@gdwlaw5549
