Premium Series From Piega & New ribbon tweeter

Switzerland’s PIEGA has launched the Premium series of speakers featuring the 701, 501 and 301. All sport ribbon tweeters but the 701 sports a newly developed variant

While the two smaller models use the Piega LDR 2642 MKII tweeters, the 701 flagship features the new LDR 3056 ribbon tweeters.

It reportedly offers a thin membrane and a newly developed suspension.

The MDS cone drivers are designed for, “…especially long-stroke motions.” Which does sound especially disturbing but the result is, “…dynamic bass…” apparently.

The aluminium cabinets increase rigidity by 30 per cent and the rounded shape prevents standing waves. All models of the Premium series are available in three versions: silver anodised, white varnish with a silver cover plus black anodised with a black cover.
