Sweet Performers

FOR Clarity and insight; good integration; excellent build

AGAINST Size impacts on scale, bass and authority

Piega’s TMicro 40 AMTs face an uphill battle. Our current favourite speakers at this level are Revel’s Award-winning Concerta2 M16 and the still excellent KEF LS50s and, to be blunt, both sound better.

But the Piegas have a worthwhile place in the market. These two-ways are about the height of a paperback and will fit into places neither of our favourites will work in. They’re also beautifully made, with an aluminium cabinet – curved to minimise internal standing waves – finished in one of three options: silver, black or white. The black and whites finishes are premium choices that add £50 to the price above.

Smaller than a shoebox

The combination of metal and the small size mean that these speakers feel strong, and the quality of the finish is lovely. While they look tiny for their price, a careful inspection will confirm that they’re built to Piega’s traditionally high standards.
