Power amp to complement a Levinson 32 preamp
..not knowing what your budget is i can make a suggestion.i too have piega p-10s' and did have tenor 75wis for about a year.the 4 ohm load that the p-10s' present was not a great match for the tenors.last oct i traded them for a goldmund mimesis 2... 
The Fastest most musical amp
..i agree with 'audiokinesis' regarding the goldmund. i have a goldmund 29m and have had tenor 7w wis' prior to the goldmund and the goldmund is the fastest amp i have ever heard.it is also as musical as the tenor and does everything the tenor doe... 
Tenor 75Wp monos & Amati Homage
andrew...i had tenor 75 wi with my piega p-10 speakers that are 89bd and a 4ohm load.the tenors' were not able to drive the p-10s' to my satisfaction and i bought a goldmund 29m amp which is the best amp i have ever heard and effortlessly drives t... 
Which speakers do you like in the $5K price range?
the piega p-10,used,or the p-8ltd are the best bets ..i agree with the other posters. 
Speaker match for Plinius 8200 Mk II
don..if used speakers are not out of the question i would vote for either a used pair of piega p-8 ltds or,if your room is large enough,a pair of used p-10s.the 8s' you could probably get for about $5k and a little bit more for the 10s'.they weigh... 
Speakers - Avalon versus Piega?????
chris..having heard the avalons,which are very good speakers,and the p-8ltds and the c-8 ltds..the best of the 3,imo,is the c-8ltd.again..kr4 is correct..you have to hear them,preferrably in your system,to be able to fully differentiate the 2 bran... 
Nordost Valhalla - Opinions please
..i had all valhalla cables in my system about a year or so ago,tenor 75 wi amps..piega p-10 speakers,at that time..and thought the sound couldn't get much better..that was until i treid HMS cables..the i/cs first and,much to my surprise,found the...

Best speaker in the $4-6k range.
damon..tireguy has a good idea.in case that isn't the problem you might consider a pair of used piega p-10 speakers. they can handle anything and with the ribbon mid and tweeter will give you the most beautiful mids and highs you can imagine plus ... 
Amp Choice for Acapella Campaniles
fred..having had tenor 75wis and recently trading them for a goldmund 29m, i can say,without stuttering,that it is a superb amp.it does everything the tenors do well and alot more..especially the bass dynamics..quickness,articulation and slamm.but... 
Best mid-size speaker, cost no object
i will second the previous post by spudco only go a step less expensive and give my vote for the new c-10 ltd piega.it does,imo,everything the c-40 does,perhaps even better bass,but at a price that is much more affordable.i,currently, own piega p-... 
amp & preamp for acapella violon
if you are interested in the tenors i would also try the goldmund 29m which,as a former tenor 75wi owner,can tell you is a much superior amp,imo.it does everything as well as the tenors' do and better.better bass slam and quickness,mids and highs ...

What speakers for $5K Used?
without question..piega p-10s'..there are a number on this site now that the new c-series is coming out. you will not be dissapointed..as long as your plinius gear can handle a 4ohm load they will sound superb.
