Piega P-10 vs Montana ESP 2


Hi Guys,

The Piega is old and I want to find a replacement. The speaker I am interested is Montana ESP 2. For those who had experiences with both speakers, please let me know that it would be an upgrade or just similar.

Room: 18 x 25 x 12
Source: Resolution CD-55
Pre-Amplifier: Counterpoint SA-11
Amplifier: Counterpoint NP-100 monoblocks (300W @ 8ohm)
Music: Classical & large orchestra

Of course, I am open to other speaker suggestion.

Thanks!

BTW, it is the EPS-2.

I have owned both and I can tell you the Montana is NOT an upgrade from the Piega. Far from it. You will not have an easy time replacing the Piegas. I tried to do it with Wilson Sophias and sold the Wilsons in less than a month. I did eventually move to GMA Continuum C3s which are better, but not by a country mile...

The Piegas to my ears are more resolving and less boxy than the Montanas. The Sophias midrange was not as detailed as the rest of the spectrum. The Piega had a more involving sound than either.
