Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers


Having bought several upper end products from p.s audio in the past such as their flagship dac   Parts quality inside were Average at best.   I am looking at New Loudspeakers and having over 40 years in audio and owning a Audio Store  to me a 🚩 flag is when you won’t should the Critical Xover inside which is the ♥️ orthe 🧠 of the speaker ,  at $28,500   The speaker should be shown inside and out , and if a company uses the term proprietary drivers or Xover parts ,that means nothing special I except the lofty $$ price tag.  Having modded Loudspeakers for myself and others for over 20 years ,know first hand most mags  take many cost cutting short cuts . It’s up to the mfg to Prove to the buyer they are worthy,Especially a totally new item , they specialize in electronics ,Not Loudspeakers .  Unless you can see everything about the drivers, and Xover and parts quality ,then most likely parts are made in China or close to it ,in reality less then $8k into the total build ,  look at a Wilson Sabrina ,Magico, B&W , they all disclose their build designs . Just ge careful, if you can’t see all your answers, they buy with ⚠️ Caution ⚠️

Well, as a newbie I would like to thank PS Audio.  Paul McGowan has helped me greatly through his books “Audiophile’s Guide, The Stereo, Unlock the Secrets to Great Sound,” and his autobiography, “99% True, Almost a Best Seller.”  I have also enjoyed his almost daily YouTube videos and podcasts.  I plan to use his “Reference Music” recording to set up new speakers that were not purchased from PS Audio.  Without Paul’s careful instruction, I would have no idea how to properly tune speakers and their room.  We are losing high-end audio dealers everywhere these days, but these guys are determined to stay, and we should be appreciative.  I have reached out to other dealers with questions, only to be ignored.  Not so with PS Audio, two employees of which immediately responded to my inquiries.  I am looking forward to visiting their business in Boulder next month and personally listening to the new speakers.  I also note that the customer in the installation video appears to be a knowledgeable audiophile who is quite pleased with his new speakers, and there is already a long waiting list to purchase these speakers.  I expect that PS Audio would gladly show and explain their cross-overs if specifically asked.  This company appears to be devoted to customer service and providing all things audiophile, from wall-socket through speaker output.  I am grateful they are here, and I hope to support and encourage their efforts through my future business.
