These are the unique benefits: * Experience the sound of all instruments, even when playing at low volume. For most of us this is 95% of the time. The adaptive bass system creates a big sound image where you can even hear the deepest bass when playing at low volume. It's a fantastic experience. Traditional speakers can't do this, regardless of price or brand.
* Enjoy the natural sound. SA legend 60.2 silverback is created in respect for music. It does'nt add or subtract anything from the sound. The special designed drive units and signal processors create an incredibly musical and natural sound balance.
* Enjoy more nuances in the sound. SA legend 60.2 silverback is built without passive components that destroy music nuances in normal speakers. Instead, you find digital circuits that process the sound without loss or limitations.
* Great sound wherever you are. You don't have to sit in a certain place to hear the best ...

Our take on the brand

- 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

- 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

Our take on the brand
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.
