The guy that bought them doesn’t seem overly thrilled. At 28k, I would want to demo in my own room before buying
Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
I know that many here may not take the PS Audio FR30 seriously as a speaker.
I totally get that (as no one has even heard it) however based on the designer and
goals, years of development, I was very optimistic. Plus I knew the speaker would work well with my BHK300 amps. Not that I’m in the market for speakers, but wish I was.
Here’s the first owner report, who previously had Maggies.

Would love to hear these for myself, as I’m a sucker for new driver designs.
Anyone who has heard these, please post your impressions.
Would love to hear them in the New York tri state area or south Florida.

From plenty of experience breaking in new speakers, 500 hours is not unrealistic, unless a break in disc or other devices are used. Also, not all speakers are a match for all electronics
IMO, they look amazing, and well thought out, probably a bargain at MSRP when compared to other ~30K+++ speakers. It would be interesting to see whether White Camaro gets a pair. If you're not familiar with his channel, he rotates quite a few high dollar speakers and electronics in his dedicated room |
I had a friend (younger man, undamaged ears) over a few weeks ago. He and his dad drove out to PS Audio to hear their new speakers. Said it was like a $1M system or something very expensive in a very nice room. He preferred my lowest cost system by a wide margin. The simple test, do human voices sound like human voices, failed. Spectacular, yes. Deep tight bass, yes. Tons of detail, yes. Tonal purity, big no. |
@asvjerry - have you found info/photos of the innards, the guts (I'm Aussie) of these speakers? Please share? |
