Rega AYA Loudspeakers
Rega
AYA Speakers
Developed
over ten years by a team of Rega designers headed up by our founder Roy Gandy,
the AYA loudspeakers promise to deliver a detailed, balanced performance no
matter which genre of music you decide to play. Using Rega designed, handmade
drivers, coupled with our ZRR high frequency tweeter and a new crossover, our
engineers have fine-tuned every aspect to deliver the best possible
performance. The sculptured cabinets and stand create an attractive, floating
effect which adds to the unique appearance
Breaking the mould
After a decade of trials and development, the
Rega AYA loudspeakers are born. Housed in a unique, UK manufactured cabinet
moulded from GRC, (glass reinforced cement) the glass fibres that make up the
construction reduce the weight whilst increasing the structural integrity of
this 2.5 way band pass design. This technique creates the perfect loudspeaker
enclosure that enhances performance whilst offering exceptional value for
money. Thanks to the combination of the new enclosure and drive unit
configuration, the AYA loudspeakers deliver a tight accurate bass response and
the Rega signature midrange and detailed highs.

Rega
was to continue with our customer promise to deliver exceptional performance
and value for money, the ever-increasing cost of real wood veneered MDF
cabinets meant we had no choice but to investigate other options. After a
decade of trials and development, the AYA loudspeakers are housed in a unique,
UK manufactured cabinet moulded from glass-reinforced cement. The glass fibres
that make up the construction reduce the weight whilst increasing the
structural integrity of this 2.5 way bandpass enclosure.
This
technique creates the perfect loudspeaker enclosure that enhances performance
whilst offering exceptional value for money. The process of moulding the AYA
loudspeaker cabinets was developed alongside a UK-based company who are best
known for bespoke concrete furniture and installations.
Rega
fans out there will know that we have always questioned the marketing and
science surrounding turntables. Experiments and research have allowed us to
debunk most commonly held beliefs and use real engineering to produce world
beating sound quality at sensible prices.
However,
the loudspeaker market is very different because a valid scientific and
engineering discipline exists which in turn has created hundreds of competitors
in the loudspeaker marketplace. The success of many loudspeakers depends on
powerful marketing, eye watering advertising budgets (of which Rega spends
zero) and financial inducements to retailers. The funds that most loudspeaker
companies would spend on marketing, Rega has put it all into research and
development to achieve a totally unique cabinet construction.
*Loudspeaker
grilles are available as an optional extra and will be supplied separately. To
keep costs as low as possible and avoid unnecessary waste, we have chosen not
to include the grilles as standard as the majority of customers choose not to
use them. These grilles are simple attached by magnet to the front plate screws
to prevent cone or tweeter damage. They
are covered in quality speaker cloth material minimising any impact a fitted
grille may have. Images of the grille are available in the gallery section.
