Piega's "New "Spk line: "Improved or Just Hype?"


Piega of Switzerland has introduced a "new line" of speakers.I am curious if anyone has heard the model C-3 which is $3995.It is a short column about 40 inches tall. They claim that they have improved the "ribbon" tweeter and therefore improved the overall sound. Some of their previous models were often considered bright and edgy. Can anyone confirm whether this model line presents "real" improvement over the previous speakers??? Thank you, SJ

LOL Jim I hope so. I heard the P-10 with Gamut amp and CD, BAT VK50SE pre and even the BAT couldn't take the edge off.
These reviewers must have cotton in their ears when they listen to these things.

Since Sanibel sound (aka. Hifi farm) is importing/distributing it, there's probably a healthy dose of hype involved.

I heard the C-3 Limited on Friday at CES, played my favorite Jennifer Warnes and the sound was too bright,edge,and thin.

Walk out from the room after 40 seconds.

I haven't heard the older model which received many good reviews,so i can't compare them.

At the risk of disagreeing I have had the c8ltd for some time now (3 months) and been very pleased. Speakers will of course be a very personel thing and so I will not argue with those that don't like the sound. I have heard a substantial number of friends with healthy musical interests (audiophile and non) and to a T they have liked the new speakers a lot (even those much more set and horn oriented). I did hear from a friend who has heard mine and was at ces and he was not very impressed with the piega room though he thought they sounded superb in my place. In the end I would try to audition and see if it matches your taste
