PS Audio FR-30 Speaker...

A couple of years late and at a price significantly higher than in the neighborhood of $15,000 originally suggested, but I'm glad it's finally done. It is a work of art, one that is already well camouflaged if it were sent to the moon. Unfortunately, as a PSA customer one I cannot longer afford. 

I hope that it lives up to the marketing hyperbole for the relatively few who can afford it. A breakthrough in speaker design would be nice to hear. I hope YouTube reviewers get a crack at it. I expect only glowing reviews from print reviewers, vendors and customers who've made the investment.

I'm not sure if PSA has the image of affordable high performance audio. With their recent increase in prices, partly no doubt to cover speaker cost overruns, the image for someone who has always been proud of the brand has been tarnished.

I'm sad and disappointed but hardly without options. Now more than ever we have truly affordable high performance choices everywhere we look. I still hope that when PSA's entry level version of the FR-30 eventually comes out it becomes an option to consider.

Meantime, I will enjoy looking at the FR-30's picture with longing and lust. 

Interesting viewpoint. It never occurred to me. The one difference between government and private industry is that the financial burden in government goes to all taxpayers, while in private industry it goes to the buyers of that company’s products. Our recourse with government is the ballot box. Our influence is more direct with the latter simply by making different buying choices. The marketplace ultimately determines if what a company does is right or wrong.
