Set Rega Kyte + IO + Planar 1

Rega Kyte Bookshelf Speakers
Become immersed in the stunningly natural sound of the Kyte loudspeakers, designed to deliver the true Rega sound at an affordable price. Using Regas own ZRR high frequency unit and a handmade pair of MX-125 bass-mid drivers, this compact bookshelf speaker is designed to complement any hi-fi or audio system.

Experience Rega
Experience the true voice of Rega components with the all new Kyte loudspeaker. The Kytes are meticulously hand assembled in house using Regas unique design phenolic resin cabinet. Internally they feature ceramic plates and carefully engineered cross bracing developed to make the cabinet extremely stiff. This prevents unwanted resonances interfering with the accurate output of the drive units and directly improves both dynamics and the bass performance from the speaker. The Kytes are easy to position and are supplied with an optional foot to allow for various positioning giving the user greater flexibility.

Rega fans out there will know that Rega 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 inducement to retailers. The funds that most loudspeaker companies would spend on marketing Rega has put it all in to research and develop to achieve a totally unique cabinet constructions and Regas own high frequency unit and bass-midrange driver (incorporating a four layer voice coil). Rega even manufacture and wind the crossover components in house. So why phenolic? Historically the accepted perception of a loudspeaker was a rectangular shaped wood veneered cabinet to compliment household wood furniture.
