lol how come EVERYONE here knows the "cable salesman--who sells the german cables"

Kidding aside I have heard nothing bad about the piega p10, in fact if they had a better looking finish I would consider them myself. A member who uses the moniker Calloway has P10's and loves them, contact him and ask what he thinks-nothing but praise I assure you!! ~Tim

Given your preferences and room I think the Silverline Sonatas would be a very good choice. Large 3D soundstage, dynamic, transparent, deep and tuneful bass(but not overbearing), and nicely detailed without brightness(silk dome tweet). They also disappear in a room sonically better than most speakers I've heard. If the Sonatas are too big the smaller Sonatina will get you most of the way there.

If you can find them used you might also consider the LaFolia, which is the next model up and is really quite something. Best of luck.

Piega comes in several finishes.A satin finish has a 9995.00 retail.One of ,if not the finest polyester laqure available graces the p-10 at 12,125.00 in white or black. Hey tireguy have you seen this one?There is a dealer in Clearwater who specializes in home theater using Piega or you can visit the Sanibel Dealer Showroom near the causeway in Sanibel.

Bob52r, based on your 6/29 post I believe that Piega, Avalon, and Audio Physic speakers could match your taste. Another option to consider is a stat (a medium-sized Soundlab perhaps?). I have never listened to the speakers above with your amps, so I'm just extrapolating. But Alephs are great machines! Good luck!
