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 ⚠️

Have an EE sold Audio instead.

 

I understand perfectly having sold high end for 20+ years, and having an EE degree

@stereo5 Did not have any feelings about it. Just figured you were a real bad engineer and may have graduated at the bottom of your class. 

Hell I know people who are CPA's and tend bar.

Lol.  I worked at the audio store full time and went to college full time for 4 years.  That paid my college tuition, car payment and insurance and gas.  I was making a cool $5.00 an hour in 1977 when I graduated.  Upon Graduation, I went to work in the defense industry for 30 years.  I also worked part time at that same audio store for 14 more years working 3 evenings a week and all-day Saturday.  Take care.
