anyone using piega speakers?

I bought my P-10s 18 months ago and completely stopped looking at other speakers. After owning 17 different pairs of speakers in the last 10 years, I guess you could say I was "searching" for something and not finding it. The Piegas aren't perfect, what is? But every time I listen to them I find myself wondering what more I could ask for.

As for the brightness, I am using them with Canary Audio tube monoblocks. But I also ran them briefly with a Plinius SA-102. While I ultimately like them better with tubes, the SS Plinius did NOT make the Piegas sound anything like some of the other comments in this thread. I consider them wonderful speakers that are a huge bargain on the used market.

Richards, you nailed it about Spudco.

>I'm currently listening to Piega C-40s. The break in was lengthy and they need lots of current to really fill a large room, but the sound is really something special. I have never been a ribbon fan, but these are very smooth with incredible detail.

French horn on Fanfare for a common man was in the room. Tower of Power was really rocking the house with completely clear horns and percussion. The percussion on American Beauty Score floated thought the room and the bass was haunting, deep and full. As a former player, I'm very snooty about piano and these are the best speakers for the wide range of overtones and dynamics I've ever heard. A Hammond never sounded better unless I was sitting at it. The bass on Lou Reed's Paranoia in E was full, deep and crisp. Never boomy in my room (32 X 18 with high ceilings). Guitars ring like you are in the studio. These are so good, I'm even listening to some classical just to here the strings!

The cabinets are also beautiful. You should really try to give these an audition.<

Reads like a fickle lover BEFORE the romance turns sour. Bad grapes indeed.........

Well said Hantrax. Not in my wildest dreams would I label the Piegas bright. But they are revealing and that can be a problem for some. In the right room and system they are world class IMHO.
