Why so Little on the AN3 at RMAF

Loudspeakers

Steven, I think what Paul said was that these were the parts of the production version (unlike the one at Axpona). Cabinet, drivers, and so on. They’re still deciding servo or no servo, and other aspects of it are not as it will be set up and tweaked in the finished product. AFAIK. FWIW. LSMFT. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em ; )

Thanks for posting this!

I have tried to look for articles in general about rmaf, and it seems to me like there hasn’t been that much written about it in general compared to last year. So many articles pop up for last year that it is hard to find the 2019 stuff. Am I wrong?

Two days ago, Robert Harley said Neil’s RMAF Speaker Report post was going to be that same evening. So…take it with a grain of Beryillium. Or Diamond, or Planar material…whatever the Current Thing is.

I would So hate to be a reviewer these days…

Google daily audiophile (one of my daily sojourns).

Lots of coverage by many publications.

Cheers.

Lets see, common sense, the quality of PS Audio’s new speaker is 2nd to the reputation of PS Audio as a speaker company. If AN was alive and demonstrating them, then his rep from Infinity forces people to acknowledge the speaker. It almost makes more sense initially for PS Audio to create small run editions like Nelson Pass of First Watt/Pass Audio., and make small incremental changes between the runs. Like any product, the PS Audio needs to generate a rep and online reviews by bringing in reviewers, so they can compare against the IRS Vs and/or the IRS Beta and or some other high end Martin Logan ?Neolith?, and after hopefully minor changes, then have a full launch of the new speaker with a top /down explanation as to possible finishes (for the wife factor) and make sure that they don’t have a fatal issue after say 30 units or more running for 3 months without a tweeter failure. So, bottom line, until PS Audio actually has a decent number of shipments and they are in the field for 3 or more months, he is just showing a prototype that may or may not have the same quality of sound and looks to a shipping product…
