Piega Unveils Premium Gen2 Speakers: Cutting-Edge Tweeters & Elegant New Design
Swiss high-end audio brand Piega has just lifted the curtain on its latest Premium Gen2 series, unveiling two stunning passive speaker models: the bookshelf Premium 301 Gen2 and the floor-standing Premium 701 Gen2. This update isn’t just a minor refresh it’s a full-scale evolution, packed with cutting-edge technology and refined design elements.
A Leap in Audio Innovation: The RM Tweeter & SSD Technology
At the heart of these new speakers lies Piega’s latest custom supersymmetric drivers (SSDs), featuring an upgraded RM ribbon tweeter. Inspired by Piega’s top-tier Coax series, these tweeters now boast dual magnets—one positioned in front of and one behind the foil diaphragm, a huge step up from the previous single-magnet design. The result? A significant boost in dynamics, clarity, and detail, bringing music to life with a breathtaking sense of realism.
The “RM” name itself pays tribute to the brilliant minds behind this innovation Roger Kessler and Mario Ballabio, the inventors of the tweeter.\

Refined Cabinets for Superior Sound & Aesthetic Appeal
Piega didn’t stop at just enhancing the internals—the cabinet design has also been elevated. Renowned designer Stefan Hürlemann was brought in to refresh the look, ensuring a balance of acoustic excellence and contemporary elegance. While Piega’s signature aluminum profile enclosures remain, they are now reinforced with an internal wooden matrix, meticulously engineered to enhance acoustic performance.
Visually, the speakers are simply stunning. Featuring curved grilles and matte sandblasted surfaces, the new aesthetic is both modern and luxurious. The 701 Gen2 floor standers even feature a round base, creating a striking floating effect that adds to their sophisticated charm.
