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 ⚠️

My 2 cents about PS Audio.

Absolutely love my Stellar phono pre-amp, but returned both the BHK signature preamp and the perfect wave CD transport. So much for synergy lol.

jgr757, you forgot to say "in my opinion" ... Sadly, PS Audio is a failure in high fidelity as it is in for maximizing profits.

There are plenty of folks who disagree with you.

Cracks me up how OP and others' sole reason for posting is to bash other people's design decisions and claim that a profit motive doesn't belong in high end audio.  Guess what; we wouldn't be here without it.

What product in your home do you think cost more than 10% of retail? Somebody posted those that know where to spend and where to pinch are the ones that would win. I agree if life was fair, but time and again money spent on marketing will beat money spent on the product  most always.
