i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds

Can you describe the soundstage these present. Most importantly how wide is the sweet spot and at how far up from the floor is the soundstage.My biggest complaint of my current Speakers is that I feel like Iam sitting in a balconay looking down at the stage.

As a Piega C3 Limited owner, I can relate to your experience. In fact, I also own the Scott Nixon DAC. Both are amazing products, and honestly for the money, I am not sure the Piegas can be beaten. And I have only heard one DAC in my life I liked better than Nixon's regardless of price. Although it was $6,500. ;-)

Mystang, to try and answer your question, I believe that any of the C Limited series have a life-sized soundstage, but the 8's and 10's have possibly an even higher than life one that sort of brings the entire room into your listening space. My 3's are a bit more intimate, and this is probably due to the size of my room versus the rooms I've heard the big boys in.

Nevertheless, I've never, ever experienced the miniature soundstage you describe with any gear hooked to my 3's. that includes probably 2 dozen amps, and a dozen preamps.

In short, I am a Piega Limited zealot, and I don't think you'd get that type of soundstage with them.

They are the most neutral speaker I've heard that still maintains emotion, and beauty. Of course, the Wisdom M75 is pretty good at that too, but it's also 8 feet tall and $75k.

Grats on the purchase Brent!

Hantrax Thanks for your reply. My speakers are NHT 3.3 I do not consider the sound stage miniture. Ther is good width and depth also the sweet spot is large enough for two people. BUT I STILL see the soand stage as if I am looking at a downward angle. I am very interested in the C10 LTD based on audiogon threads but was unclear as to the perceived hight of their soundstage, Thanks again for your coments . Anyone else please jump in.MY congrats on your purchase as well.

To me, the height of the soundstage is exactly as it would be in real life. Perhaps a tad bit higher on the 10's because the tweeter/mid array is a few inches above the one on the 3's. The 8's are the same way. All of them sound the same really. Just a bit more bottom end as you climb the ladder.

I, too, made the upgrade from the revel f30 to piega c-8ltd. I confer. A great upgrade, although the f30's weren't too shabby. I use an aloia amp and lector zoe preamp. My current source is the consonance opera audio ref. 2.2 cdp. Great product also, but now am curious about the Nixon DAC. Any other info. you can share on this? Thanks.
