Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker

Whatever about the sound (to be determined), I find the rounded bottom cognatively dissonant. One expects a curve to be on the top of an object. Imagine a neoclassical building where the romanesque windows were upside down.

Also, I really can't see why they did it from a structural engineering point of view. It adds a lot of complexity to the structure for no benefit.

As regards the pricing, it looks pretty competitive for the specification - assuming the sound lives up to it, of course.

And PS is planning a number of trickle down models which, of course, is where they will make their real money and recoup their R&D costs.

Once the FR30 hits the used market its true value will be established. Until then it's going to be a lot of hype about how high demand is. 

Gee, what a cheery lot. PS Audio has already sold several dozen pairs in the first three rounds and the waitlist is backed up to September. They'll do fine without your business...

I really like PS Audio, their group is very very helpful.  I have a piece of their equipment and I think the support is superior.  I wanted to go hear these, but they said I could not come because of "covid", which makes me nervous - you could still listen to them - nope.  The introduction is very controlled.  

Heard their first (?) iteration at the last Axpona and thought they sounded pretty darn good.  The usual caveats about show sound apply.  Watched the two setup videos and the second one sounded great with my headphones on.  Again, the usual caveats.  

I hope to hear the FR30 at Axpona.  Never be able to afford 'em but so what!
