Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s?


I heard they made a big splash and received applause but wondering if anyone here had the oppty this weekend to hear them ?

Hmm, their response to Amir‘s criticisms of their power reconditioner was not exactly convincing. Hard to tell at this point who is the joke.

They don’t "set up" the speakers, per se. They don’t even take them out of the shipping boxes. They wheel them into your listening room in the boxes. You have to assemble. So "white glove" perhaps but all it means is they bring the boxes from your step to your room - after that you’re on your own. It’s not like Wilson where Wilson assembles and does hours of listening tests to position the speakers optimally, for example. Not criticizing the service, just keeping it real - it is what it is.

Your Wilson comment is correct; however they absolutely do unbox the speakers in the room where the speakers are to be located. 

Ok, I stand corrected on that, thanks. Do they assemble them? I know that each speaker ships in two boxes, the base portion and the upper portion. I assumed that they do not assemble them because the PSA site provides assembly instructions, but I could be wrong about that also (don't think so tho, I think you have to assemble yourself).

 

Really too bad that they won’t be at Axpona, agree with previous comment.
