I owned their earlier model C10 Ltd. which also used a version of their hand made coaxial midrange/tweeter. While they refer to them as 'ribbons' they're actually planar magnetic in design, since the conductive foil elements are on a substrate rather than being freely suspended in their magnetic field. They have a very detailed and pure quality to their sound and image exceptionally well. I'd strongly suggest an audition before making such a purchase since individual preferences and system matching will play a large part in determining whether they're the right choice for you.
Coaxial Ribbon Midrange/tweeter - Can a small midrange ribbon actually do midrange well?
Fellow Members: my apologies if you may have caught a similar discussion under Piega 511 Coax Loudspeakers. That title may not reflect the general interest I am hoping for.
I am wondering, from a technical standpoint, how the Piega 511/711 Coax loudspeakers use a relatively small coaxial ribbon mid/ tweeter array driver to cover the entire midrange. I always thought of smaller ribbons as excellent tweeters only. If it does cover the entire midrange, can it move enough air to make
an impactful presentation for large orchestra or rock music, for example. Reviews praise the speaker’s agility, resolution and accuracy. It sounds like a most worthy competitor in its price range but I want a loudspeaker that can do most genres well.....not just vocals, chamber music and jazz. Thank you in advance for your input.
