Piega P10s.....are they still contenders?


I have owned the P10s for about 10 months now, which is nearing a record for me. I still love them but the itch to look at other things is getting the best of me. Most of the time I think there is nothing out there I can afford that can replace them. But it's always nice to look. Are these once giants still viable, or has time marched on?

Well, the Piegas push all my buttons and I really do like them. I would like to make that clear. But I am one of those guys who doesn't want to know what is on TV, I want to know what *else* is on TV.....

Just a curse I suppose.

Wow, has it been that long since I started this thread? Well I kept the P10s for quite some time after posting this, but I thought I would update with some info.

In Feb. of this year I bought a pair of Wilson Sophias. They were pretty good, but not enough to unseat the Piegas. Luckily I was able to pass them on to another Agon member without losing a great deal of $$ in the process.

Shortly thereafter I ran across a deal on a pair of speakers that I had always lusted after, but could never afford. The Green Mountain Audio C3 HD. And this deal was just too good to pass up, so I snagged 'em. And boy am I glad I did.

This is actually my third pair of GMA speakers. I have also owned the Imago IIIs and Callistos, so I knew going in what was in store. Or did I? Short story, these are speakers that make you think about music and not sound. You don't "hear" the tweeter, or the midrange, or the bass....you hear the music. As cliche as that sounds it's true, you don't think about the parts, only the sum.

I did not intend for this to turn into a review, and I guess it's not. But I will say that these are easily the best speakers I have owned, and most certainly in the top five I have ever heard in my life. Roy just continues to turn out good stuff. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next....
