Aspen FR10 Speaker - The Perfect Size for Any Room.

According to Hi-Fi News, the Aspen FR10 sets the standard for the $10,000 price range. You can read the rest of the review here.

The revolutionary Aspen speaker series sets new standards for home audio reproduction. Now, with the introduction of our most compact speaker ever, the FR10, you can finally bring the magic of Aspen into any home. The Aspen speaker series

represents the culmination of 50 years of industry expertise: a deep understanding of what works and what doesn't; what it takes to make a speaker disappear and leave room for only the magic of music; designing a no-compromise phase-corrected crossover; building a cabinet that doesn't alter the sound; Creating a speaker that can be easily driven by any good power amplifier; and, when even the most advanced speaker manufacturers fail to meet our exacting standards, designing the woofers, passive radiators, tweeters, and midrange drivers from the ground up. In every way, the FR10 will exceed your expectations of what a small floorstanding speaker can do.

You no longer have to compromise.

Stunning sound, aesthetic beauty, a fit for any room, and jaw-dropping bass—the Aspen FR10 is a dream come true.

Design

The FR10 joins a select group of high-quality full-range speakers capable of elegantly covering the frequency range from 30 Hz to over 20 kHz, dynamically, impactfully, and with low distortion, and capable of operating in small to medium-sized rooms. Within moments of installing your new Aspen FR10 speakers, you'll be transported to a new level of musical bliss. What's on the disc is exactly what you hear, with resolution beyond what most people have ever experienced. Elegance, beauty, PRaT, power, and a musicality rare among high-end speakers from other manufacturers await Aspen FR10 owners. The fact that these speakers are accessible to so many makes them a true miracle.

Application

Speakers are an integral part of the family. With their presence, they enhance our homes and living spaces, bringing the joy of music into our lives. Unlike the electronics that power them, most speakers depend on proper placement and optimized room settings to perform to their full potential. The Aspen FR10, however, is designed to integrate more easily into any home environment and deliver optimal performance with a minimum of setup hassle and a maximum of options. While the FR10, like all high-performance speakers, appreciates some space between itself and the front wall, positioning it in your room for best performance is a breeze. Thanks to the included step-by-step guide and CD, setup—from unboxing to listening—is easily completed in just a few hours.

PS Audio Aspen FR10

High-End Floorstanding Speakers Designed for an Uncompromising Listening Experience

The PS Audio Aspen FR10 represents the pinnacle of American electro-acoustic design. Designed and developed entirely by PS Audio, these 3-way floorstanding speakers are designed to offer musical reproduction of absolute transparency, naturalness and precision.

Every element, from the proprietary transducers to the sophisticated crossover, up to the cabinet created in collaboration with Studio 63, has been developed with a single goal: to eliminate any sonic coloration and restore music in its most authentic form.

The exclusive combination of proprietary planar magneto-transducers and woofers in latest-generation composite materials allows the Aspen FR10 to offer a wide soundstage, astonishing dynamics and a level of detail worthy of the best high-end systems.

A natural, transparent and engaging sound

The sonic signature of the Aspen FR10 is distinguished by an extraordinary speed of response and extremely realistic spatial reconstruction.

Thanks to the extremely low moving mass of the planar magneto-transducers, every dynamic variation is reproduced with absolute precision, ensuring immersive, compression-free listening even at the highest volume levels.

The result is a reproduction characterized by:

incredibly realistic vocals;

exceptional microdetail;

wide, three-dimensional soundstage;

perfect focus of the instruments;

high dynamics and rapid transients;

extremely natural tonal balance.

The midrange is open, rich in nuance and free of coloration, while the high frequencies extend naturally, offering an excellent sense of air and depth.

Proprietary Planar-Magnetic Transducers

The mid-high section uses two exclusive transducers designed in-house by PS Audio:

2.5" Ribbon Planar-Magnetic Tweeter

8" Ribbon Planar-Magnetic Midrange

Both adopt latest-generation proprietary technologies:

symmetrical neodymium push-pull motors;

front and rear magnetic structure;

ultra-low mass Teonex diaphragms.

This configuration guarantees an extremely linear response, exceptionally low distortion and a transparency that is difficult to achieve with traditional dynamic speakers.

Powerful, precise and controlled low range

The reproduction of low frequencies is entrusted to:

2 6.5" high-excursion woofers;

Rohacell foam cones covered in non-woven carbon fiber.

The system is completed by:

3 6 × 9" oval passive radiators;

rear emission;

long excursion.

The adoption of Passive radiators deliver deep, articulated, and perfectly controlled bass, eliminating the turbulence and compression typical of traditional bass reflex ports.

Phase-Correct Linkwitz-Riley 4th-Order Crossover

One of the distinctive elements of the Aspen FR10 is the sophisticated proprietary Phase-Correct LR4 crossover, developed to ensure perfect time alignment between all transducers.

The crossover network uses exclusively selected components:

high-quality film capacitors;

air-core inductors;

selected custom components.

The crossover frequencies are set at:

550 Hz

1,750 Hz

The result is an extremely coherent, stable, and perfectly focused soundstage.

Cabinet designed to eliminate resonances and colorations

The Aspen FR10 cabinet was developed in collaboration with Studio 63 and designed to minimize unwanted vibrations and resonances.

Among the main construction solutions we find:

extensively reinforced internal structure;

standing wave control;

front baffle in thermosetting composite material;

integrated acoustic waveguides;

machined from solid aluminum base;

adjustable stainless steel spikes;

dedicated feet for hard floors.

The refined satin finish is achieved through over 20 artisanal painting and sanding phases, giving the speakers an elegant and absolutely prestigious aesthetic.
