Aspen FR10 Loudspeaker
Hi-Fi News says the Aspen FR10 sets the $10k standard. Check out the rest of the review here.
The Aspen loudspeaker series represents the culmination of 50 years of industry experience; learning in intimate detail what works and what does not; what it takes for a loudspeaker to disappear and leave only the magic of the music; designing a no-compromise phase-correct crossover; constructing a cabinet that does not color the sound; crafting a speaker that is easily driven with any decent power amplifier, and when not even the most advanced driver manufacturer’s products are good enough to meet our exacting standards, designing woofers, radiators, tweeters, and midranges from scratch. In all respects, the FR10 will transcend your expectations of what a small floor-standing loudspeaker can do.
No longer do you have to compromise.
Breathtaking to listen to, beautiful to behold, fits in any size room, with bass that will astound you, the Aspen FR10 is a dream come true.
Design
Application
Technology
By far the most important piece in the HiFi chain is the loudspeaker. If the speaker cannot reproduce what it is fed from the electronic chain, the missing musical information is forever lost. To achieve all that music demands, over the years, loudspeaker designers have tried to leverage every trick in the book: electrostats for details, conventional drivers for dynamics, planars for transparency, ribbons, domes, horns, open baffles, bipoles, dipoles. The list is endless and the choices and their inevitable sonic compromises daunting. With close to 50 years under our collective belts, we at PS Audio determined to design the perfect loudspeaker for every application, room size, and budgets. In the Aspen series we start with the FR30, then move to the FR20 and then the FR10. Each is a full range state-of-the-art loudspeaker that covers the range of possibilities from small to large rooms and to meet every budget need. The FR10 will fit into every small to medium sized room and provide room-shaking bass down to 30Hz. For the upper end, the FR10 employs the same Aspen planar tweeter as found in both the FR20 and FR30. For our legendary open midrange, the FR10 relies upon the same planar technology as found in its bigger counterparts. Without question, the Aspen FR10 is the perfect loudspeaker for any room and budget.
