Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers

The most expensive parts are not always the best sounding part to put in a circuit.  There are synergies with components.  

Yes, if your drivers and cabinet are not low distortion.....then you would want veiled slow parts in the xover and wiring to hide the distortion. If you have little cablnet sound and super low distortion drivers then you want the most expensive super sounding parts everywhere. Even at the highest level of parts there is still synergy....but the parts in the PS Audio speaker are obviously just generic Chinese parts (good ones....but NOTHING special). Kef and Magico use different levels of parts for the different price ranges......the top speakers use the best parts. However, the cheapest Magical speaker uses better parts than the PS Audio.

If you have spent countless hours playing with passive xover parts....then you know how important every single part is.......this is what is so cool about DIYing......you can use parts and execution that are better than any speaker in the world.....and for pennies on the dollar.......but only maybe 5% of Audiophiles are DIYers.....and only 5% of DIYers are seriously tweak. To bad, lots of fun here.....and great sound for very little money.....and the satisfaction of having created it yourself........

However, we are all DIYers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We create our own reality moment by moment......What kind of life do you want?........You make it up.....it is free! Be a smile millionaire.....it is free!

I doubt they even manufacture them.

The speakers and drivers and xover parts are all made overseas (and delivered here finished)......most of the design is being done here....this is normal for lots of companies, these days.  Some companies will make their cheaper line overseas and keep their super expensive line manufactured in house.  However, it kakes a lot of money to create a speaker manufacturing plant.....lots of money.....probably more than PS Audio has.

Lol, 28k, no problem...good grief...
