I’d LOVE to buy a pair, I COULD buy a pair, yet I could NEVER buy a pair, lest the rest of my days are spent in the garage (which is unheated in the dark days of winter), banished forever by the Queen.

Thanks for the review Pmotz! I was fun getting to hang for a little and chat. I’m glad you got a chance to hear some of your own picks too. Paul’s playlist is great, but it’s always tough to critique a new system when you aren’t familiar with the material.

Friday, I had the good fortune to be in this very same house that has these FR 30s in da house.
I was gobsmacked at what I heard. Hours earlier I heard the MBL Extremes. And yet….
I really wanted to be impressed and my oh my, I was more impressed with each song.
He’s got a perfect room for one person. In my room there is room for two. But one wins.
Anyway, these PS Audio FR30 speakers are end game worthy. A very nice surprise.

I was fortunate enough to be along with @aangen and @straightwire to listen to his FR 30’s and I agree great sound was plentiful! A speaker that does everything very well. Thank you Greg!

Thank you Al and Paul for those kind words. The FR30’s are special and have been one of those rare purchases that keep revealing more good stuff over time and extending my listening time with a smile. Funny thing, hours after this get together, the M1 fuse arrived. Back to the basement to hear the FR’30’s sound even more organic (hate to use that word), with more precise imaging. I’ve had the recent pleasure of major gains from both ends of the spectrum. Makes this hobby fun and even better to share it in person or through this happily addicted forum.

Thanks. I saw the post as I’ve read most on this site. No one can easily calculate the cost/benefit ratio for any high end hobby. My only constant criteria is that in chasing the dream is that the tough parts of the process do not out the perceived result. There are no ends, only means.

To Straightwire’s credit, I brought an unbalanced pair of Stealth Audio Sakra V17 LE cables into his house and offered him a chance to hear them in his system. He politely declined.
He is smarter than I am.

Most of us are audio whores here, it is unbelievable that one can refuse such “free” offer. I cannot imagine I would resist such a try-out for sure. 
The “refusal” to demo was in no way a rejection of a generous offer but rather (as @vkennedy61 so eloquently stated) self preservation. Cue Stevie Winwood…”the percentage your paying is too high priced…”

Sometimes you’re better off not knowing what you don’t know. In this hobby it’s certainly cheaper.

FR30’s at TMR for anyone looking for a set in white. Here is the Link.
$999 for shipping. Yikes.
I would drive to get them for that price.
