This article discusses the Rega Aya floor-standing loudspeaker and why it’s unique design and small size will appeal to many music lovers.
Company History
Rega is an exciting company. Beginning in 1973, they made their name designing some of the world’s best tonearms and turntables. Their founder, Roy Gandy, has made a career by taking a different approach to audio design. When most turntable companies were concerned with making their tables as heavy and dense as possible, Rega took the light and rigid path. This approach to turntable design has won Rega multiple awards for sound quality and they have some of the most devoted followers in all of audio. Since the 80s, Rega has also designed and manufactured other audio components such as amplifiers, speakers, and CD players. Rega takes a unique attitude to every product they design, just like with their tonearms and turntables. They never follow the trends but work to make improvements using any method to yield them. This generally results in Rega’s products having a unique look and design that is very distinguishable from everything else on the market. From the awe-inspiring Rega P10 turntable to their Saturn MK3 CD/DAC player, Rega constantly challenges the norms in what makes a great audio design.
The AYA, like almost all Rega products, is 100% made in England which is pretty special in today’s world where many respected speaker makers have moved production to China.
