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 ⚠️

PS Audio designed and had built ALL of the drivers used in the FR30. Not even the OP here has EVER done that!! 
 

The tweeters, midranges, woofers, and passive radiators are all PS Audio designs, by Chris at PS Audio. Inspired by the IRS V. 

I went to Colorado and visited PS Audio. Graciously, I was permitted to hear a demo of the FR30s. At $30K, these are the finest speakers I’ve ever heard! I’ll gladly take them over the Wilson Audio WAMM speakers. 
 

Lots of ignorance in here about speakers. Design a XO, now you’re an “expert” mentality by the OP.
