The Piega Ace 30's arrived a few days ago. Unusually, even out of the box they sounded good and after some hours running in, I think they are exceptional for their minuscule size. They are even smaller than the already very compact DALI Royal Menuets they replaced but sound noticeably bigger. What I really notice is their impeccable timing. Due to space limitations in my bedroom, they are closer to the listening point than ideal but even so, there is no sense at all of separate speakers, with a completely coherent sound stage. In this aspect they are the equal of the ATC speakers I use on my larger UK and French systems and to my way of thinking, that is high praise. As one might expect with ribbon planar treble drivers, the upper range is very clear and precise. Unlike the DALI speakers which go a bit dull sounding at lower volumes, the Piega speakers maintain their drive and clarity down to quite low sound levels (useful for not disturbing other members of the household late at night). All in all, I am delighted with my purchase. Also got excellent service from Audiologica the UK agent, who kept me informed during their tortuous and prolonged journey from Switzerland to the UK.
