Know before you buy
The GRC material provides exceptional structural rigidity and density, which helps minimize cabinet resonance and coloration. This allows the drivers to perform with greater clarity and precision compared to standard MDF enclosures.
The grilles are available as an optional accessory. They are designed to be easily attached if you prefer a more discreet look or want to protect the drivers from dust and damage.
The AYA speakers feature a front-ported design, which makes them more flexible regarding room placement than rear-ported models. You can position them closer to a wall without the bass becoming overly boomy or muddy.
With a sensitivity of 89.5dB and a 6-ohm impedance, these speakers are relatively easy to drive. They are rated for up to 110W per channel, meaning they will pair well with a wide range of high-quality integrated amplifiers.
This configuration allows the speakers to deliver a more controlled and accurate bass response while maintaining the signature Rega midrange clarity. It effectively manages the output of the two different bass/mid drivers to ensure a seamless transition across the frequency spectrum.
The lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects for the original owner. It provides peace of mind that the speakers are built to a high standard and are supported by Rega for the long term.
