Piega loudspeakers


Any owners? Thoughts vs other speakers you have owned?

I currently own speakers with ribbon tweeters and am moving away from this driver type as they always seem to be problematic in certain ways that I find increasingly irritating. Avanti mentioned artifacts and I think he is spot on and I have never heard a ribbon type of high frequency driver that didnt display some unreal sounding artifacts that detract from the obvious advantages of this driver type. Many of these more "exotic" drivers force the designer into a bit of a corner regarding crossover methodology. I would caution you to listen at length with a diverse amount of program material before buying. I also would suspect that a stout current based amp would be better than most tube type amplifiers. I have only heard this speaker at shows and have never had a pair in my room. I didnt really like them the various times I have heard them at shows. FWIW.

I don’t consider SVS audiophile.  They are boom boxes.  I would add a pair of ElREL SHO’s.  Their high level connection allows them to play like woofers that blend perfectly and play down lower.

EIREL? Is that a new company?

 

 

I had a pair of P-10s many years ago. I thought they were excellent speakers. A little power hungry, but they responded well to 160 watts of tube Canary monoblocks. Very dynamic and resolving. I still have fond memories of them.

bump, I'm considering a pair of Master line source 2's and am wondering what Piega owners have to say about their experience and what these amazing speakers need to play their best. If you haven't owned the MLS2 any Piega experience will help. Tia Steve
