- Not a speaker for very loud volume levels or trouser-flapping bass
- Sound plays it a little too safe

What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

Our take on 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.

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.

Our summary
Product Strengths
- The aluminum cabinet is cast in one piece, which offers acoustic advantages and looks chic
- The extruded aluminum yields a seamless, curved cabinet, which minimizes standing waves, reduces diffraction, and distributes and controls reflections
- Highs are provided by a ribbon tweeter designed by PIEGA, and made by hand at the company's factory
- It creates an incredibly wide soundstage, always balanced and rich
- They are big enough to make big sound, but small enough to be suitable for a small apartment
Product Considerations
- The fit and finish of the small, square, lightweight Connect is basic—in sharp contrast with the stylish, substantial 701 loudspeakers
- DSP automatically adjusts each speaker's frequency balance according to volume, at a low setting, bass and treble are subtly boosted while, with something closer to party levels, the bass is gently reined in to prevent driver overload
- The Android version won't 'read the room' and only lets one turn the room correction on and off
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs KEF R3 Meta: it gives a cleaner sounding mid-range and better top-end extension
- Vs Buchardt A700: pairing the speakers to its black box comes with fewer connection hassles
- Vs KEF LS60 wireless: it draws a wider soundstage, better image in the mids, and offers a more extended top end
Takeaway: The PIEGA Premium recMsY5ljWopDD7UU is a stylish speaker that offers a wide soundstage and a rich listening experience. Its modern design and high-quality build make it a great addition to any contemporary living space.

Reviews
Bring the track spirit into your home with LS60 Wireless Lotus Edition, created in partnership with and inspired by the British Racing Green of the iconic brand.
KEF's signature Uni-Q technology places the tweeter in the center of the woofer to create a single point source for sound, while their Metamaterial Absorption Technology absorbs 99% of unwanted sound from the rear of the driver. Their Music Integrity Engine corrects timing errors in the speaker crossover, and their Shadow Flare technology reduces diffraction for improved detail and clarity in sound reproduction.
Expand Details
Product Strengths
- Striking, sleek, and modern design that complements modern interiors
- Incorporates KEF's Uni-Q driver array and Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT) for neutral, open, detailed sound, reducing unwanted sound from the rear of the tweeter
- Includes Uni-Core force-canceling woofers that reduce cabinet vibrations, contributing to balanced and detailed bass
- The KEF Connect app allows for adjustments to fit the listening environment
- Offers high connectivity and is a true stand-alone system
Product Considerations

- Not well-suited for those who have many signal sources to connect to
- Some reviewers found the bass lacked definition in the upper bass, with unclear instrument placement, even after adjusting EQ settings
- The included remote control is considered basic or cheap
- Mandatory online registration and administrator-level internet connection requirements for the app may be a drawback for privacy-conscious users
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to the Bang & Olufsen Beolab 28, the LS60 Wireless can achieve similar sound quality with adjustments, at a lower price point, although the Beolab 28 sounds 'more right' straight out of the factory
- Compared to the KEF LS50 Wireless II, the LS60 Wireless is preferred stylistically, achieves near full-range playback, and has a more slim design, although it costs more and also provides much deeper bass
- Compared to the Q Acoustics Active 400 Towers, the LS60 Wireless has no issues with products not working
Takeaway: The KEF LS60 Wireless are stylish, all-in-one speakers that deliver a balanced, detailed sound with advanced technology. They are a convenient, high-performing solution for those seeking a streamlined audio setup.

Reviews
Dynaudio is a hifi speaker brand known for its unique external voice-coil construction, which allows for larger voice coils that improve thermal power handling and reduce thermal compression. The brand has a heritage in professional sound production and uses advanced materials like the Esotar 40 tweeter and rare 240mm drivers to deliver superior dynamic realism and headroom.
Expand Details
Our summary

- Dirac Live compatibility allows for highly customizable and smooth sound
- Plays with an authority normally associated with speakers twice their size
Product Considerations
- The status LED on the front does not replace a display
- Setup is not exactly intuitive
- Without Dirac Live, the bass can sometimes be too strong for music listening
- A dedicated midrange unit would give both strings and woodwinds more depth and body
- Dirac adjustment slightly reduces volume levels, as some frequencies are attenuated
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The bass response is tighter and better defined
- Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The soundstage is more open and transparent
- Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: The stereo perspective is more sharply defined, and the soundstage is larger
- Vs ELAC Navis ARF-51 & NAD C 658: A deeper soundstage is created, with better front-to-back layering and image specificity
- Vs ELAC Navis ARF-51 & NAD C 658: During intense passages, the presentation was more transparent
- Vs KEF LS60 Wireless: Piano sounds better because nuances are more clearly defined and the treble reproduction is airier
Takeaway: The Dynaudio Focus 30 is a great system because it sounds very detailed with pinpoint imaging. The Focus 30 is perfectly suited as a wireless speaker for those seeking excellent sound in their home.

Product Considerations

- The Piega's own Connect DAC is not the best, because it can be pushed too far and it complains in a slightly edgy way at high volumes
- Low volume performance was fair, but nothing to write home about
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs KEF LS 50 Wireless II: KEF LS 50 Wireless II offers more natural imaging and more substantial low bass, while the Piega played much more detailed and lively and fits acoustically better in the corner or shelf
- Vs Mission LX Connect: The Mission LX Connect is similar in concept with a multifunctional transmitter, but it cannot keep up with the Piega in terms of streaming features or sound
