Any owners? Thoughts vs other speakers you have owned?

I have a pair of Piega Coax 311s that I bought a couple of years ago to replace ~20 year-old Dynaudio Contour 1.8s (something about raising two kids leaves little time, money or energy for new stereo equipment).   

My plan was to move to a stand speaker since our living room doubles as the listening room.  After research and several audio shows I thought I was going to get a Harbeth.  But after listening in my room, the Harbeths were just a little too smooth.

My dealer suggested the Piegas and they had enough of the richness that I wanted but also enough bite to make rock tracks exciting.  My listening is about 50% rock (tending to indie and Americana but with occasional needs to hear some power), 25% jazz, and maybe 10% classical.  I played oboe through college, so that instrument needs to sound 'right' to me.  But I'm also playing a lot of piano and singer-and-guitar tracks that also need to sound good.

The Piegas worked well for me.  I'm driving them with a Benchmark AHB2 amplifier.
