Upgrade to Piega C10's??


In your opinion, would I be likely to notice a significant improvement moving from my Piega P10's, to either the C8 limited., or C10 limited.?? I'm using Aloia amp and pre-amp. My system is in the living room with no room treatments. Just a regular old family room. Open to the kitchen on the left; speakers only about a foot from the front wall; back wall about 4 feet behind the listening position, cathedral ceiling, you get the picture.

I hear the new C Limited's are great speakers, but the P10's were touted as having "unbelieveable sound" when I purchased them, and they do sound good! I don't mind spending the extra money, but obviously want to hear a significant difference if I do. I'm no expert on this stuff. Some of the discussion about "extroardnarily smooth mid range" ect., sort of escape me.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I would echo calloways comments. As always I should start by saying it sounds like you are very happy with the p10 and if money is an issue or it will cause strife at home then you might think twice. If that is not the case (ie no down sides to trying them out) then the new c series is amazing. I had the p8ltd and had the opportunity to upgrede or at least try out the speakers. I left a review I believe on audiogon or aa. The change is very substantial and very worthwhile in my mind though that depends on how you define substantial and what the change is worth to you. Basically you get everything the p series offered just better (that sounds a bit silly but its hard to express it). The p8ltd are great speakers and 3 of my friends now have them after listening to mine but the c8ltd is that much better. The bass is even deeper and crisper and the soundstage larger (more realistic). The midrange and upper end is quite magical with the coaxial tweeter. The speaker in my setting seems to interact with my room a lot better too. I have had a bunch of friends over and a/b the two and all were very impressed. I hope this is of help. I would be happy to chat. Just drop me a note - or perhaps give me a shout. By the way, since I bought the c8ltds, piega has had no representative in Canada so I am the local rep, so you must take everything with a grain of salt (though you should do that with everyone).
