Built Without Limits: Rega’s Flagship Mercury & Solis Arrive
Posted by The Sound Organisation on Jan 26th 2026
Rega has always danced to the beat of its own drum, and with the arrival of the Mercury preamplifier and Solis power amplifier, it’s dropped a heavy groove on the high-end hi-fi stage. This long-awaited flagship pairing delivers the kind of rich, expansive sound Rega fans have dreamed of—and it's now a reality, not just a whisper in audiophile forums.
The Solis is no ordinary muscle amp. With its dual-mono architecture and 160W per channel of Class A/B power, it’s designed to drive even the most demanding speakers without breaking a sweat. “The Solis amp is one of Rega’s most powerful and advanced designs ever,” notes T3, and it lives up to that reputation with serious sonic authority.
Up front, the Mercury preamp is the ideal control center, giving you full analog purity with Rega’s signature minimalist design. What Hi-Fi? explains it well: “These two components have been designed from the ground up to work seamlessly together, offering performance with no compromise.” That synergy translates into a listening experience that’s bold, natural, and emotionally gripping.
Best of all, Rega has made this system as accessible as it is aspirational. As Gear Patrol puts it, “Rega has promised uncompromising high-end audio performance at a price that undercuts many of its rivals.” It’s a serious statement from a brand that’s always championed the music first. If you've ever wondered what Rega would do if they built without limits—this is your answer.
