Any Piega p 10 users out there?

I just finished setting up a system in Southwest Florida for audition purposes with p8 ltd due to room size.The main difference is the ability of the larger speaker to fill a larger space.A writer for a major audiophile mag. just purchased the 8ltd, for this exact reason ,and uses them as his reference.If you require smaller size and have a room smaller than 12 by 15 it may be the perfect speaker.Don't misunderstand though the showroom in Sanibel is 15 by 30+ with vaulted ceiling, yet we are using one end of the room and the sound is outrageous.The inner detail and smoothness of the 2 speakers is the same and there is slightly more low bass,a few notes only,not different in sound volume and balance.I hope this helps some.

classical music listeners?
I could never afford the 10's....but I've wondered if the Piega's can handle orchestral, piano and most especially violins so they aren't migraine inducing.

Dear Allegro

I can't speak for the p10's but the very similar p8ltd does a fabulous job on piano (classical or jazz). I can say with some certainty as I have a baby grand in the same room so I can compare live and recorded (though I have to have a friend play, my skills being limited). You can really tell that the piano is a percussion instrument - ie keys striking strings. I love it for violin, it is quite accurate but certainly non-fatiguing. Full orchestra it is excellent with one exception, the speaker is such a size that its sound stage just isn't as large as some very big speakers I've heard - eg. avantgarde duo's but the sound is still very pleasant.

your response was helpful....
I've already heard ribbons I like...but I want to be as sure as I can on this purchase...
I think the final test for me is violins....

Allegro12: I assure you the sound of violins on the P10's is exceptional. One piece that comes to mind is Haydn's Opus 76 performed by Quatuor Msaiques. The timberal accuracy is amazing as well as the inner detail and texture of the instruments.

The caveat with these speakers is the break-in. I really was excited by them upon the first few seconds of listening, however, until there were appoximately 600+ hours on them, there was slight fatigue. Once they are fully broken in, the sound is natural and heavenly.

If you do not have a local dealer, I may be able to setup an audition for you. Let me know if I can help.
