I imagine it must have been in part due to the deep discounts dealers were giving on new components. I ordered a few PS Audio components around half off that were shipped to me directly from Boulder. Even at half of MSRP, there were still profits being made. I can't imagine paying full price for anything PS Audio now.

As a dealer for 18 years; there were never deep discounts. PS Audio makes less profit now, since they terminated their entire Global sales force.

An event I dare say is an unrecoverable one.

Ivan - I've been curious how PS Audio has been doing since they eliminated their dealers......any non-proprietarty information you could share??? They seem to still be rocking the advertising etc. Any information on the health the company??

One point about the speakers that's surprising to me given their price point is that they're made in China. PS Audio always promoted the fact that their electronics were made in house in Colorado.

The fact is none of their electronics were made in Colorado. Just final assembly; all parts are from Taiwan & China. :confused-22:

Similar to Michael Kelly's forgetting to mention that his "Made in the USA" Aerial Acoustics speakers (from China) are only "assembled" over here. Still trying to wash that egg off his face.

Seem pricy though.

Exactly... I wonder how much the small Aspen FR10 speakers would cost...coming soon.
