With the IRS system in Music Room 1, is there any planar magnetic speaker fans out there. I fell in love with the detail and speed of the planar magnetic drivers. Here is my introduction to the planar magnetic speaker, it was an upgrade from the Paradigm Bipolar series. I purchased a set of Wisdom …

Piega… wow never heard of them… The woofer stack should address the Magnepan problem of rear wave cancellations. Interesting… Peace Bruce in Philly

I did a quick search and found a reference to an Absolute Sound article/review which said $195K (in 2014)! I saw something else in Europe that said 97K Euro, but no indication if that included VAT. The box is made of aluminum and they weigh over 400 Kg (wasn’t clear is that was preside or total). …

wglenn, care to share details of what you built there?

Fell in love with Maggies at first listen. Had Martin Logan SL3 for a while, but I’m back to two systems with Maggies on both. For whatever reason, Maggies and the PS Audio Stellars work really well together. I’ve got an S300 on one system and am saving up for a pair of M700s for my other maggies…

It always baffles me that Americans don’t know Piega. The marketing in the US seems to be on the low end :slight_smile: I heard Piega 711 vs Focal Grande Utopia (latest version) vs B&W 800d3 vs Magico S5 last month. The Piega leaves them all in the dust with ease!! More natural, less grainy, more …

@lmf22-2 here re is the setup. [image] Can You Believe tglenn Allows This In Her House? Everything Else [IMG_1741.jpg] In the loft, the speaker positioning is suboptimal. The line source helps. The triple play of PSA gear is just outstanding. Beyond that is a PSA 4.5 prea…

Magnepan’s are funny speakers. Hook them up to a many channel AVR that is 8 ohms and done and they will sound mediocre. Insert a good 4 ohm amp and they come to life. Hook them up to a a couple PSA M700’s and coming to life gets very real.

Thanks. Got lost, though, on the actual baffle design. (“Accordion”, “splayed”, “inner”, “outer”, and “waveguide” all confused me). Any better pictures? Or maybe a quick sketch or two? Will Glenn wrote:

Agree… My 2.5Rs were really weird in that they had an optimal volume setting to sound best… an adequate volume but not a rockin’ volume. My MG20s were more versatile… ribbon tweeter was really nice… bass was odd as is a common complaint with Magnepans in general. Imaging is scary wonderful. Whil…

Agree on the Piega Coax series, just mind blowing sound quality, and also super coherent sounding. @Paul you might also want to check out Apogee, the company was bought 18 years ago by an enthusiast (Graz), he has all the original documents of how the speakers were made, etc. Long story short, they …
