Any info on the new Piega 10???
Got my pair a month ago. Very satisfied indeed, warm powerful yet very transparent. Greet bass for the size. Only complaint so far is lack of spikes which causes sime rumbling in my admittely poor wooeden floorboard floor.

I would also recommend that people looking to understand the response of their room try ETF 5.x. Look at http://www.etfacoustic.com/. It is some times simpler (and cheaper) to correct the response this way. 
Avalon Acoustics Arios????
