    I've heard the model down from these, and was most impressed with them. They produce a VERY big sound for their size, which is nicely detailed, but not 'in yer face', with a falsely accentuated treble output, in the way of many modern loudspeakers, so I'd expect these ones to be even better!

    Construction and finish are also top-notch, as one would expect of a Swiss design, so all in all, if anyone is looking for a superb pair of speakers, and fancies something different, then why not give the Piegas a go?

    They certainly come with my unreserved recommendation!
