What's unique about the brand

PIEGA is a hifi speaker brand that uses aluminum cabinets and Air Motion Transformer tweeters to achieve better sound quality than traditional speaker designs. The brand is known for making compact speakers that perform like much larger ones, with their TMicro 40 model reaching deep bass notes down to 50Hz despite its small size.

What reviewers are saying

We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:

  • Piega speakers are crafted with seamless, extruded aluminum enclosures, designed by Swiss architect Stephan Hürlemann, which minimizes vibrations and resonances.
  • They utilize custom-designed Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeters, manufactured in-house, known for their clarity, detail, and extended high-frequency response.
  • Piega offers a unique Wireless Spatial Sound (WiSa) technology in select models, allowing for cable-free stereo or multi-channel setups without compromising audio quality.
  • The brand incorporates Tension Improve Module (TIM) technology, including TIM2 in newer generations, which tensions internal components to further reduce cabinet resonance and improve sonic purity.

Our favorite reviewer quotes:

  • "These compact speakers deliver bright, loud, clear, and dynamic sound, with Piega's proprietary AMT-1 tweeter providing a significant upgrade in clarity and imaging over competing compact powered speakers. The internal amplifier performs exceptionally well at high volumes with minimal distortion, allowing these small yet powerful speakers to fill medium-sized rooms with quality sound." (https://futureaudiophile.com/piega-ace-30-wireless-bookshelf-speakers-reviewed)
  • "The 701 creates an incredibly wide soundstage, always balanced and rich. Every element has its place and stands firmly where it belongs." (https://7review.com/piega-premium-701-wireless-gen2-active-speakers-review)
  • "This speaker gives a smooth, open sound that is natural and organic, no matter your chosen listening level. With a power handling of 200W and super-rigid cabinets, this is an unstressed-sounding speaker." (https://stereonet.com/reviews/piega-coax-411-gen-2-loudspeaker-review)
  • "The audible result is impressive with even more dynamics, more refined details, and outstanding spatiality, the Coax Gen2 series sets new standards in the mid-high range." (https://www.stereolifemagazine.com/news/item/1556-piega-coax-gen2)
  • "Apart from its effortless ability to fill a big room with high-definition sound and almost preposterously full and deep bass given the apparent volume of the enclosure, the Premium Wireless 701's musical skills span the whole spectrum from get-up-and-dance verve and energy to draw-you-right-in emotional power and subtlety."

Our interview with the brand

What are two key technological innovations or strong opinions that differ you from other brands?

Our ribbon tweeters, especially the coaxial versions used in our Coax and Master Line models, deliver exceptional resolution and spatial imaging. What’s particularly noteworthy is that we have been developing these tweeters entirely in-house for over 40 years – and we still manufacture them by hand at our facility in Horgen, Switzerland. The quality is, in our view, outstanding – not only acoustically, but also in terms of technical precision and minimal unit-to-unit variance.

Our aluminum enclosures, combined with internal damping and sandwich construction, ensure distortion-free performance – even at high volumes – and are a unique feature both acoustically and visually.

What's your approach to customer support?

We generally recommend that customers first reach out to their dealer or national distributor for any questions or issues. These partners are trained and authorized to assist quickly and effectively. In more complex cases – or when customers contact us directly – we are, of course, committed to providing personal and dedicated support.

Additionally, we regularly invite customers to visit our headquarters in Horgen. During these visits – which include a tour of our production and personal consultation – very close relationships have developed, and in some cases, even real friendships have formed. We take pride in maintaining close and reliable contact, even after the purchase.

What are your favorite tracks for showcasing the strength of your products?

  • “Queen Mary” – Francine Thirteen: For dynamics and tight bass, excellent at high volume.
  • “Liberty” – Anette Askvik: For atmospheric depth and spaciousness.
  • “The Headless Horseman” – Bobby Bass: Great for vocals and evaluating seamless transitions between multi-way drivers.

What other products pair best with yours?

We experience excellent synergy with HiFi Rose electronics – both sonically and aesthetically. Setups with T+A or Cambridge Audio also pair beautifully with our speakers. And of course, there are no limits at the high end: just recently, I heard a large Burmester and McIntosh system driving our Coax 811 at a dealer – the result was absolutely stunning.
