I was really interested in the Genesis 6.1 speakers, but I figured the large size and massive bass response would cause even more problems in my room. Hopefully, the 28hz low end of the Piegas will cooperate in my room.
The Piegas are still fairly small, and I like the fact that the mid and tweet panels are combined, so there should not be as large a problem with integration while sitting at a fairly close distance.
I have heard a few other speakers with planar mids and tweets and did not care for the sound. (I know miklorsmith agrees with this) Those that I have talked to about the Piegas say the drivers are the most natural sounding they have heard.
I won't make any decisions on an amp for a while yet. I will use the speakers with the Bella for now and see how the combo sounds. A couple of amps that I do have in mind to check out are Van Alstine, Moscode or a mighty Mac.
I just made the deal, and I assume it will take about a week for the funds to clear and another week for the shipment to get here.
