For those of you who have Piega speakers...


What kind of gear are you powering them with?

How would you characterize the sound?

What gear were they allergic to and why?

Any info would be welcome!

What gear were they allergic to and why?

What gear: My Ears

Why: Ribbon tweeter, metal enclosure.
Sorry for the sparse negative response above - that was not really justified.
My personal choice is really not for ribbon tweeters overall, as I can alway
detect a lack of coherence (in terms of detail, texture, imaging) across the
crossover region. The only ribbon tweeter I can fully live is the one in the
Verity Sarastro.

I would prefer solids state amps with the Piega (Karan, Pass), also Class A
amps. I find tubes tend to exaggerate the differences between the standard
drivers and the ribbons. Also the bass drivers in the Piega really do need the
control of a well-damped good solid state amp. The ones I heard are P8 and
P10.
