Piega C8LTD/C4CLTD/PSUB1 II Ribbons In The Sky

Complete Piega Limited Edition 5.1 Co-axial Ribbon Speaker System with matching Powered Subwoofer. Two identical pairs of Piega C8 LTD tower speakers, one Piega C4C LTD center channel speaker, one Piega PSUB1 Mk II powered subwoofer. Very good to excellent condition. The center channel has one very small dent on the top left edge of the cabinet. Almost unnoticeable unless you know it's there. Otherwise they are all in great condition and work perfectly. Complete with original boxes and packing, brand new spare grilles for C8LTD's, and feet and carpet spikes for C8LTD's and PSUB1. These drop-dead gorgeous, Swiss made loudspeakers are world class. The cabinets are all clad in a gleaming aluminum skin over multiple formed layers of wood. They feature a proprietary 4" x 8" coaxial planar ribbon midrange/tweeter driver in the C8LTD and C4C center channel. If you like the speed, openness, detail and transparency of ribbon drivers you will LOVE these speakers. The imaging and soundstaging are quite astonishing. The 7" aluminum cone woofers (3 in each of the C8LTD's, 2 in the C4C center) are high-performance, hand selected VIFA drivers. Bass response is flat down to 28 hz WITHOUT the subwoofer. Premium bi-wire speaker terminals on C8 LTD's and C4C LTD. Nominal 4 ohm impedance. Recommended amplifier power 100-300 wpc. I use a 250wpc Parasound Halo 5 channel amp and the results are awesome. The C4C LTD center channel speaker is nearly identical to the C8 LTD, using the same drivers (2 woofers instead of 3, same co-axial ribbon midrange/tweeter) in a smaller cabinet designed for horizontal placement. The matching 500 watt powered subwoofer has a 10" active driver and a 10" passive radiator (mounted on either side of the aluminum cabinet) and blends seamlessly with controlled power and authority. Smooth octave-to-octave balance and musicality perfectly compliments the Piega ribbon speakers. Flexible connectivity and tuning with high and low level inputs, phase control, variable level and more. This package makes for a wonderful 5.1 surround sound audio experience. They are all voice matched for a totally seamless, immersive and enveloping presentation with your multi-channel DVD-Audio and SACD discs as well as other high resolution music and movie soundtracks. Of course even a single pair of the Piega C8LTD's are stunning as a conventional stereo pair, with or without the matching subwoofer. The system also reproduces Dolby Digital, DTS and other surround sound video content spectacularly when used as a home theater sound system. I am not really looking to break the system up piecemeal. I will sell it all together as a matched 5.1 package. Serious offers only, please. I will ship (at buyer's expense) if necessary, but would prefer local pickup (Virginia.)
