Piega Premium 701 Gen2 Floorstanding Speakers

Full Range Performance

At its core is a newly developed 3-way driver configuration, designed to achieve exceptional balance and clarity across the entire frequency spectrum. A dedicated 140mm FSD-M bass-midrange driver handles the critical midband with precision and natural tonality, while dual 140mm FSD-W woofers deliver deep, controlled bass with impressive authority and speed. The result is a sound that is both powerful and articulate, with effortless dynamics and excellent low-frequency extension down to 34Hz.

High frequencies are reproduced by Piega’s advanced RM 01-24 ribbon tweeter, a magnetostatic design renowned for its speed and transparency. This driver brings remarkable detail and air to recordings, allowing vocals and instruments to sound lifelike, open, and beautifully resolved. Together, the driver system creates a cohesive and immersive soundstage that captures the emotion and scale of live music.

Superior acoustic integrity

The cabinet is equally distinctive. Formed from a seamless extruded aluminium enclosure, it offers exceptional rigidity and minimal resonance, ensuring that what you hear is purely the music. The elegant oval shape and refined sandblasted finish give the 701 Gen 2 a timeless, architectural presence that integrates effortlessly into modern living spaces.

With a sensitivity of around 90dB and a recommended amplifier range of 20–200 watts, the Premium 701 Gen 2 is versatile enough to partner with a wide range of high-quality amplifiers, while rewarding better electronics with even greater resolution and control.

Thanks to the uncolored music reproduction, the explosive dynamics, and the lively spatial soundstage, I find myself increasingly settling down comfortably to absorb a new music album.

You are getting handcrafted Swiss engineering and resolution that competes with speakers costing notably more. But more than that, you’re getting honesty. My challenge to you is to go listen. Use recordings you know inside and out. Listen for the midrange accuracy and the imaging.
