Piega loudspeakers


Any owners? Thoughts vs other speakers you have owned?

To me if you don’t mind adding a quality sub or 2,myself SVS 4000SB subs which are very good.

with the superb MBL 126 standmounts with matching stands ,yes a bit power hungry but sit Anywhere in  the room and sound is pretty much =  exceptionally fast great soundstaging and imaging ,I know of no loudspeaker in the $20k or under  club That betters their topend or midrange ,with subs a true full range monster.

you do need a high current Amplifier-into 4 ohms .

my Coda CSIB does this with ease . These are my bucket list  speakers 2 of my friends own ,maybe next year still a few more $$ to save .

I have the Coax 711 and could not be happier.  Their midrange and treble completely won me over.  The bass is good, but I added two Rel subs and the overall sound just filled out and blossomed.  I think that is what audioman is also suggesting.  IMHO, they easily beat some more expensive speakers handily, especially with the subs.  

The ones I've heard at shops and shows sounded nice but outside my budget at the time.

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.

Listened long to the Coax 511 towers, retail $15.9K.  The only speaker with coaxial ribbon midrange and tweeter that I am aware of.  

Remarkably transparent with excellent imaging and sound stage.  A touch of high frequency artifacts but not too distracting.  

Worth consideration if you value a high resolution sound.
