Aren't these insane prices for Phase Tech floorstanding speakers?
Check it out!!
I've never listened to a Phase Tech speaker, but I've always read that they are very good. Good alternatives to the Fry's R30s?
No affiliation, just a "heads up".

NEver heard of em but you gotta wonder why so cheap? The R30 polks are a full 10 pounds heavier though so thats gotta tell you something about build quality.-Stopher

I sold Phase Technology speakers in the mid 80's thru early 90's. It was our "Value" speaker compared to Polk, Mirage, KEF, ADS, M & K and a few other high line brands. They certainly aren't anything close to white van speakers, but they aren't anything special. Perhaps a good match for the Polk R line, but somehow I think the R line might sound a bit better, but they are pretty similiar. My bro still has a pair of Phase Tech's (towers) from his very first system which he uses in a workout room, they sound fine. I sold a lot of them back then, at 60% mark-up we either made a great commission or were able to discount heavily to make the customer happy. Whenever customers didn't want to pay Polk prices they would buy Phase Tech's, why I don't know. The Polks of that era (RTA, Monitors, SDA) were so much better.
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
