My feelings precisely, Richard. Let's see how it turns out when folks get their hands on them. PSA could focus on performance as you suggested. I would rather they focus on reaching the goal of affordable performance for all their other products. In my career I helped many companies who became overconfident with success and overreached. Most were family owned companies with few effective checks on planning and decision making at the top.
Making superb speakers, and making them well, is no trivial matter. Aside from performance, it is the customers of companies that overreach that end up paying the bill through higher prices. PSA recently raised prices, ostensibly to pay for the higher costs of parts and shipping. I've no doubt that what seems like two years of developmental delays for the FR-30 cost a pretty penny.
I personally would not buy a PSA product at this time. As a former customer, I am highly disappointed with the promise of an exceptional speaker at a reasonable price that never came. An entry level PSA speaker may eventually arrive, but I am not holding my breadth.
But that's me. I hate to see companies on a downward slide and I hope that does not happen to PSA. I hope there are enough wealthy audiophiles to buy FR-30s and the speakers can get them closer to audio nirvana. Meantime, I continue my nirvana journey through very competitive products that cost far less.
. If is not anywhere near as good, Paul should shut down his youtube channel and center in the performance instead of the marketing
