The major attributes of Piega speakers are extreme lack of cabinet resonance coloration due to the extremely rigid and well-damped extruded (or cast in the case of the CL 90 X) aluminum cabinets, holographic imaging for the same reason, outstanding hybrid ribbon design and manufacture, top-rank crossover design to blend the ribbons to the in-house designed cone woofers/midranges produces extreme accuracy (classical has never sounded more timbrally real to me)and vocal intelligibility.
Here is a review summary quote about Piega, from the November, 2007, Absolute Sound on the reference TC10X ribbon-hybrid bookshelf with coaxial ribbon midrange/tweeter that also made their list of 'products of the year' -
"I’ve left the best for last. Forget British mini-monitors-this is the new champ when it comes to pinpoint imaging precision and stability. I’m sure that its superb driver integration and coherence through the critical mids and upper octaves play a major role in its imaging prowess. Wide, spacious, and slightly laidback, the soundstage was populated with images etched with laser-like precision. Massed voices were readily resolved and the impression of an organic space, completely independent of the speakers, was remarkably strong. And, yes, the Piega performed the proverbial disappearing act better than any conventional two-way mini-monitor I’ve auditioned to date, and let’s not forget that this is a three-way
speaker. Bravo!
Detailed, yet relaxed, the Piega is able to caress musical lines with speed, finesse, and no artificial aftertaste. A hard day in the office? Park yourself in front of the Piega, kick off your shoes, and pour
yourself a glass of wine. The Piega TC 10 X loudspeaker represents the perfect transportation to a higher dimension of musical enjoyment."
