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 ⚠️

OP, you are overthinking the whole thing. If you like the way the speakers sound, and you have the budget, you buy them. I don't think you would want to look at the back of an Infinity RS 2.5. Nothing but junk parts but they sound great.

You can see videos of them on  you tube where customers have bought them and Paul and others go to the customers house and they set them up .

Lots of assumptions on your part from never hearing them. Many speakers don’t showcase their crossovers. Who really cares about the looks or parts brand of the crossovers if they sound fantastic? As for myself, I wouldn’t care if they were made in Togo as long as I was getting my moneys worth.
