The IO? Having had an IO in person, and having also had a CXA61 in the same finish as that AXA25, I personally think the CA finish is much nicer, but that's just me. Will give it to you that the IO is very small, though. I just didn't really think the IO was that good, but I have very power hungry speakers. Not sure if it was its power supply or wattage, but it just couldn't wake my speakers up. And I see that yours are 86db at a 6 ohm load (they're Denton's right?) so you not sure how well it'd work for you.

I do like that second one, and can't argue with that price really. I like having the actual controls for the bass, treble etc in a physical form.
However... it's just such a big boring box of grey.
I think that's why I like the Rega - sure it's not very exciting, but it's also small. There's a couple of refurbed ones on eBay atm for sub-£300...
