Looking for comments on Piega P2, P2 limited, P5


Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my NHTs in a few month as I will be moving to an apartment w/ a dedicated sound room, and a friend has recommended the Piegas. Anyone had the opportunity to compare the Piega P2, P2 limited, and P5? More specifically, how does the regular P2 stack up against the Limited version? Also, given that the P2 limited and P5 are about the same price, any thoughts on how those two compare? What other speakers would you recommend to audition?

The new room will be 10'8"x15'x10'; I will be driving the speakers with an Adcom CD player and Accuphase integrated amp. My budget is sub-6K, preferably lower if possible. I listen to 60% jazz, 30% pop/rock, and 10% classical.

Thanks in advance for your help!

A friend owns a pair of the P5's and they are great sounding in his room which is very comparable in size to yours - he has an Accuphase 210 integrated with a McIntosh 831 DVD/Cd player. Great soundstage and their height really makes the room fill with music whether seated or standing and walking around it. I just bought a pair of Gershman Acoustics Avant Garde RX 20's for a room 12 x 15 x 11 foot ceilings - retails for 4400 - got them for 2900. They go down to 24 hz and throw an unbelievable soundstage - check the reviews on audioreview.com
