RMAF 2019 PS Audio AN3 loudspeaker

A lot of rooms to visit in a short amount of time.  All in all the Rockport Atria's sounded very good.  I also liked the boulder room with the V.A. Liszt with the overkill of the REL subs.  Not really a fair comparison.  I also thought the Synergistic Research room with the Magico's sounded good.  I'm not really a fan of Magico's but they did a nice job.  The PS audio speakers have promise.  I thought they imaged well but there was a slight thickness in the mids.  This is still a beta test speaker.  The price is pushing the point of may good speakers.  I'm sure my views will differ from some of the "professional" reviewers.  Speakers that didn't do anything for me were the Wilsons, Tektons and many more.  If I could weave a thread through all of them without price being an object, probably my favorite room was the YG acoustics room.  It hit a lot of my buttons.  The speaker I want to hear more from that was not being shown but was part of the Computer Audio Design room was the Boenicke W8 I believe.  It really caught my attention and I think the W11 is the bigger version.  I fell hard for that little dude.

Yes the Boenicke W8 was really surprising. I always don’t want to like them because of the "tweaky" technology added but wow! Definitely punches above it’s weight but hard to find and $$$. You tweakers put your flame throwers down, I’m most likely not up on the latest.

I heard them last year and this year.  Last year was a disaster.  They looked like they were glued together the night before the show started and sounded terrible.

This show was better, but I kept sitting there thinking "why?"  The last thing we need is another overpriced midsized speaker that frankly does nothing special or innovative.

They will sell a ton of them just because of the name and press hoopla, but the absolute LAST thing I would do is buy a speaker from a company that has never made one before.  Arnie Nudell died before these were completed and the whole reason they started making speakers was due to getting Arnie involved.

Some people won't heed that advice and will buy them even though Arnie had very little to do with them.  I suspect many will be happy with them because they didn't do anything offensive, but I highly doubt this model will be long lasting or "legendary" in any sense.  In fact, within a few years, I guarantee they create an "upgrade" and your $20k is depreciated even further.
