High-power integrated amplification, refined with authority and control
Rega Elicit Product Introduction
The Rega Elicit MK5 represents the point where Rega’s integrated amplifiers move decisively into high-power, reference-capable territory—while remaining true to the brand’s analogue-first philosophy.
Building on the success of the Elex, the Elicit MK5 offers more current delivery, greater dynamic headroom and enhanced composure, allowing it to drive a wider range of loudspeakers with ease.
At Authentic High End, the Elicit MK5 is recommended to listeners who want a single-box solution with the authority to anchor a serious, full-range system.
Positioning Within Rega
The Elicit MK5 sits:
and is ideal for:
medium to large listening rooms
loudspeakers that benefit from higher current
listeners who want scale and control without moving to separates
It is the most powerful conventionally sized integrated amplifier in the Rega range.
Design Philosophy: Power with Restraint
As with all Rega electronics, the Elicit MK5 prioritises musical integrity over specification bravado.
Core design elements include:
a fully discrete analogue amplification stage
an upgraded, high-current power supply
short, carefully managed signal paths
The aim is not sheer volume, but authority, timing and stability, even under demanding musical conditions.
Integrated DAC: Modern Connectivity, Properly Isolated
The Elicit MK5 includes a built-in DAC with two digital inputs, enabling direct connection of modern sources such as:
network streamers
CD transports
televisions
The DAC is carefully isolated from the analogue stages, ensuring digital convenience without compromising the analogue heart of the amplifier.
Built-In MM Phono Stage
Continuing Rega’s strong vinyl heritage, the Elicit MK5 features a high-quality moving-magnet phono stage.
It provides:
This makes the Elicit MK5 a natural partner for Rega Planar turntables, especially in systems where vinyl is a primary source.
Loudspeaker Control & Musical Scale
Compared to the Elex MK4, the Elicit MK5 delivers:
Music feels more expansive and relaxed, with the amplifier remaining composed even as scale and complexity increase.
Listening Experience
The Rega Elicit MK5 sounds:
It retains the classic Rega sense of pace and flow, but adds weight, scale and confidence, making it especially satisfying with full-range loudspeakers.
Build Quality & Everyday Use
The Elicit MK5 is built for long-term, real-world ownership:
solid aluminium chassis
understated Rega aesthetics
high-quality controls and supplied remote
headphone output for private listening
It is designed to be used daily, not reserved for special occasions.
System Integration
The Elicit MK5 integrates naturally into advanced systems:
excellent match with Rega Planar 6, Planar 8 and Planar 10
ideal for mixed analogue and digital setups
suitable for demanding loudspeakers
At Authentic High End, the Elicit MK5 is often chosen when clients want more authority than the Elex, but prefer to stay with a single integrated component.
Why We Selected the Elicit MK5 at Authentic High End
We selected the Elicit MK5 because it offers:
It is an amplifier that delivers confidence and longevity, making it a reliable centrepiece for serious music systems.
