Not technically a Royd speaker, however the Rega Ela Mk1 was developed in conjunction with Royd Audio and shared the same drivers and similar transmission line cabinet design, to the Royd Apex. Later versions of the Rega Ela changed this design and opted for a Rega driver and cabinet changes. The Rega Ela 2000 came much later and was a wholly different speaker. Due to this strong connection with Royd, I’ve added a page specific to the Rega Ela, detailing the different versions, which you can find here.
A while ago, I uploaded an interesting review from the day, comparing the Rega Ela (Mk1) and the Royd Apex. Well worth a read, as it contains a lot of detail of their differences and unique tonal characteristics.

Hi,
I am very interested in the Rega Ela 2000, and as I was informed there was a group test of them in the HFC 2004 February mag. ..unfortunately I can not get those magazin issue. Could you help in this ?
thanks, regards, János
Sorry, I don’t have that magazine, I’ll keep an eye out for it though.
Hi Arthur,
We have been in contact already some time ago I sent you some Royd photos. Now I see you included the Rega range as well and I saw you miss the info for the half fluted early model. I had all of the variant till the 1.5 with the Rega drivers but seems I deleted the photos I had already. I can confirme though the half fluted early ones had the very same Scanspeak D2008 tweeters and Royd bass drivers as the full fluted.
Regards Zoltan
Thank you for the info, I’ve updated the page accordingly.
