Frequently Asked Questions
The A23-Ms rely on inherent accuracy rather than correction; DSP monitors can compensate for room issues, but these require careful acoustic treatment for optimal results.
Yes, the tweeters are meticulously assembled by hand, which allows for tighter quality control; PSI Audio's reputation suggests excellent longevity, but delicate components always warrant care.
Their substantial weight necessitates heavy-duty stands; a flimsy desk won't suffice and could compromise performance due to vibrations.
