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 ⚠️

Invalid thanks for the heads up , as show on his webpage  the green resistors are $3 mox  vs  top quality path audio ,or Mundorf  ultra resistors, the capacitors  Are made off shore , this is almost a $30 k speaker I would expect far more ,

look at theExcellent Magico $25k speaker ,their Xover is all verygood  $ $30 Mundorf   Ultra resistors, and above average Mundorf Evo caps , that’s my point you should get much more for your hard earned $$, in America we are all allowed to have their own opinion , also resale value vs Magico, or Wilson or many top well known brands would be much less . I am very surprised they will not be at the show .i am sure a lot of people would like to hear them ,they do look good on a positive note.

I’ve never had any respect for PS Audio - over hyped and under performing.

As for that crossover - nothing special there and as for claiming years of development. I’m sure anyone who mods crossovers would use superior components.
