No relative comparisons, essentially all written up as great

With the number of years Anthony has been a reviewer he has likely owned and/or listened to more āhigh endā speakers than any of us. Likely has a number of them in house as part of his collection. Not his style to pit one against the other in his reviews. The fact that he bought them is an endorsement. He also stresses that you make sure your room will handle them which is why PSA has three similar models all scaled to a particular room size. Chris knows that one speaker will not fit all room sizes and environments, Some companies like Acora Acoustics even give you a guide for room size for each one of their speakers. None of the others at the FR-30ās performance level let you try them in your home for 30 days no questions asked.

I have some very strong favorite loudspeakers I have experienced. The Aspens are on my favorites list. I wonāt be swapping my Vivids for them, but I will still share my appreciation for both the FR30 and FR20.

One of the ārelative compaisonsā in his review:
āthe FR30ās midrange and high-frequency sound quality was the best Iāve heard from any speaker to date.ā

I fully agree.

I got FR20ās about a month ago and that statement above is so true. It is a significant improvement from my old Vandersteenās. Not surprising for a 25 year old design ā¦

I love the PS Audio Speaker lineup!
If my wife gives me approval I may get a pair of FR10s for my cabin. I am using KEF LS50s there now with a big REL sub stuffed right in the corner. Itās fine. But the FR10ās would kick the highlights out of the KEFs. No doubt.
She will certainly say no so this may wait until I am a widower.

Oha Al instigated Donald to do this. 
I also like the look of the FR speakers. Rounded at the bottom to make it look more delicate and square at the top so that the woman can put a flower pot on it. PS Audio may have taken nasties into account in the design.

Two women in this house like the look (besides Alās stamp of approval) made the decision easy. Paul and Chris numerous videos on the design of the speakers (especially on the tweeter and midrange) has had major influence too.
Iām just happy I can push around RF-30 much easier than my old one.

I think itās a good choice and Iām excited to see what results you get with the new speakers. I think that you have slowly arrived at the trip with your equipment. Although if youāre not careful youāll be asking more questions after a short while. What if ? Power amplifiers, speaker cables, speaker feet. The thoughts quickly come back after a few hours or days of bliss. 
Resist the temptation, the dark force may want to tempt you into the SR black box.

This forum is so dangerous. For instance, I have never heard of Zenwave in the past until some member here, wait! It was youš
It turned out to be a great buy! But thereāre too many rabbit holes here for a potential trip over.

Zenwave also makes speaker cables that you can compare to Inconoclast.

Very unfortunate and sad news about the passing of Dr. Anthony H. Cordesman āAHCā in late January of this yearā¦ Iām sure it was an honor for PS Audio to receive such a fantastic review from him and the The Absolute Sound (October of 2022). His review was the first detailed written review I got to read about the FR30s. Aside from listening to a pair from a very good friendā¦ his review only further confirmed what my ears told meā¦ no doubt assuring me that an FR30 would be a worthwhile investment for my system just like it was for his when itās performance convinced him to purchase his review pair as an additional reference for his system.
R.I.P. Dr. AHCā¦
