Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan

@temmple I did, but they were a hair's breadth away. I honestly loved them both. In retrospect, though, I think I loved the Fritz Carbon 7's even better. Really lovely, intimate and warm midrange. Seductive.

Leaning that direction as well. The CSS seems like a great value and has been getting great praise. The audio show is in Seattle next week and Fritz is listed as a vendor as well as Salk. Going to give them both a listen. 

I own Fritz Carrera BE's and did a comparison against a number of well-known speakers last year. More specifically, the Carreras made me sell my Harbeth 30.1 speakers which are almost twice the price. You can read about it here ...

Thanks for the link and reply. Going to go read it now.

+1 on Fritz.  Toe tapping. :)

I'm afraid that I've not heard the other two to give a fair comparison.
