I am considering to get "Piega C10 Limited" or "B&W N800", and will run it with Krell FPB400cx. I would appreciate it if Audiophilers those have experience with them can help me with information about comparison between these two speakers. Thanks much
Piega looks nice, but an 800 looks better. But you cannot compare these 2 loudspeakers. The 800N is superior comparred to a Piega C10. Just listen to it and you will understand.
A friend od mine had a small concert room with a Steynway. There is place for about 65 people. He gives concerts with a maximun of 4 players. Here I learned how small a voice of a woman can be. It doesn't matter where you are, you can exactely point out where every person stands. A voice is very small and direct. I have listen to so many speakers in mu life. The 800N and other Nautilus speakers can give a very good immage of the right proportion of a voice and instruments. The 800N is a speaker with one one the best three-demensional experience I've ever had. You can almost touch the peole who are playing on the cd. It is much more music instead of listening to a cabinet. With high quality of equipment it sucks you into the music.
I also own the speakers, an it is said by B&W that the room had to be at least 40mm2. I heard the speaker also in a room of about 30mm2, and the bass was much to heavy. So that is very important. But you need very high quality equipment as well. People buy many times to expensive speakers and pay less money to the right equipment.
