B&W N800 vs Piega C10 Limited


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

It's silly to think that weight makes a speaker better. There are two ways to create a speaker cabinet: high mass and low rigidity or low mass and high rigidity. In the first case, the resonance of the cabinet is below the threshold of hearing, in the second it is above.

The real question is not how much the speaker wieghs but how it sounds. So the B&W N800 sounds better than the Piega C10 Limited? In what ways?
Hi MFS, I believe you when you say how much better the B&W's are than the Piega's. I have never heard either speaker. All I am saying is that it may take even more skill and effort (or at least as much) to build a good speaker enclosure that is light-weight than one that is heavy.

Do we judge our cars by how much they weigh? Is a MG not as good as a Hummer 'cause it's lighter? How about our computers? Our women? You get the idea...

Peace, Randy
