User Manual PIEGA P SUB 4 Version 1.
“Music. That‘s really the only important issue when it comes to loudspeakers....“ In our view, the superior loudspeaker is the one that does not interfere. One that adds no sound of its own. That accurately and naturally conveys what was played in the concert or recording studio. Since 1986 we have been working to perfect this ideal – with a pioneering spirit, inventiveness and exacting craftsmanship. You will now be able to hear for yourself how far we have succeeded.
