PS Audio FR30 speakers

They look pretty cool

And they're expensive. It looks like the midrange and tweeter listening axis is pretty high.

 

[Laserjock]

Interesting.
Going to be $$$$$

Lots of things look cool. Glad we're on AudioScienceReview where the only things we want to look cool are measurements.

probaby Boglender Neo10 and Neo3 under grill, price is crazy, one could makr it for 1/10 price and with active DSP crossover

I really despise those thin and super deep speakers with small drivers. Don't people want manly speakers?

 

[pozz]

Hm.

Where are the servo woofers they were talking about? Ah well.

I wonder about the drivers. Directivity and resonances are gonna be an issue.

I'm not saying that this is what we should expect, but this article by one of the designers ends with the BG Neo10 driver, which measures like this: https://www.erinsaudiocorner.com/driveunits/bg_neo10/ @hardisj

Not for the first time, I wonder how much influence nostalgia has in traditional audio. BG made the drivers for the Genesis speakers McGowan loves.

A Manly Speaker!

Ah hell, that's chump change.

 

[xaviescacs]

Personally, I wouldn't buy any speaker I can't carry.

 

[BrokenEnglishGuy]

I think they need to start to think in the 4k-5k USD price instead of the super small and luxury high-something market, That design clearly its made for something really big...

 

[ahofer]

That whole "Des Moines" thing was almost too cringe to get past.

"like the white album"-?

Should have rounded the top as well.

"maybe we could get down to $2000-3000/pair". then claims pricing is purely cost+, haha.

Not a word about what it achieves in measurements other than "down to 30 Hz". What are the chances he releases useful specs?

Now that you say that it sure looks like a domino

I just the opposite.

 

[xaviescacs]

I just the opposite.

We could go together to a speaker store, it could be real fun. let me try this one... no, too light, sorry, it's a shame, it was a good speaker... let me try if I can... yes! I'll take it, a good speaker indeed.

The kh310 also go down to 30 Hz for a tenth of everything.

The kh310 also go down to 30 Hz for a tenth of everything.

Not at any appreciable level. They're seriously SPL limited in the bottom end. For active speakers that can reach down that low and not fall apart at higher levels (i.e. you're not listening nearfield) without subs you're looking at paying probably twice that much for something like KH420s or Focal Trio11s.

Funnily enough, a set of Kii Three BXT also cost ~$30K. If I was forced to buy one of those two, I'd say "Kii" before you were even done giving me the option
