B&W N800 vs Piega C10 Limited

Lenox is 100% correct.

The B&W 800 Nautilus (800N) is a superior speaker in all facets over the Piega C10 Limited. Sound, looks, design.

300lb construction on per 800N speaker. The Piega weighs in about 100lbs each. There is no comparison. The B&W 800N reigns supreme over the Piega C10 Limited.

I had owned the Piega C10 Limited for a short time. Then had an opportunity to buy a pair of B&W 800N. The best purchase I ever made in Hi-End audio. Can honestly say the B&W 800N is sure to be a classic and a great speaker overall.

You took me out of context.

When I saying weight of the B&W Nautilus 800 is 300 LBs verse the Piega C10 LTd like Ryder said, I meant it's part of the entire package. The contstruction, engineering and design of the speaker are more important than shear weight. But it does show how much was put into the B&W 800N.

Bottom line, having owned the Piega C10 Limited and now the B&W 800N speakers. Sound is most important. And the B&W 800N is clearly a superior speaker.

Accuracy, tonal balance, soundstage, midbass, bass extension, imaging etc.... are all superior in the B&W 800N speakers verse the Piega C10 Limited. Not that the Piega C10 Limited is a DOG of a speaker, but when you listened to both and lived with both ; it's a no brainer the B&W 800N is a clear cut great speaker.

The only drawback with the B&W 800N is there weight. In the boxes they are 350lbs, and it breaks my back when I had to move them. The B&W 800N are not the easiest speakers to setup and synergy match. But once you have experimented, and hit paydirt with the match. All I can say is WOW !!! The B&W 800N is sure to be a classic and definitely one of the best speakers in the world regardless of any price after you set them up correctly.
