Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers

Yes that’s how it works !

fyi, while the 70’s Yamaha sounded great (and fun), I took it out and put the Van Alstine back in.  There’s just a whole order of magnitude of resolution between the two. 
Would love to hear these Carbons with an amp that’s just a smidge brighter… such as the Belles that keeps getting mentioned.

I know people have had success with Pass xa25 or int-25, though I wonder… would those be maybe too soft for Carbons and better suited to the Carreras?

But , my goodness, these speakers really create quite the presentation despite what powers them.  So happy with my purchase from Fritz.

Hegel!!!

I have Vandersteen VLR CT and the AVA SET 120 control amplifier in my den system (with Naim Uniti Atom preamp/DAC/streamer), which is a great pairing. Really brought those smooth carbon tweeters alive. If you go with the beryllium tweeter, Belles Aria would have great synergy I think. I had a Belles Aria, upgraded to Aria Signature which is in main system currently, paired with Focal 1007 Be standmounts with a beryllium tweeter.  I think surprisingly I preferred the $1500 AVA SET 120 over the $4400 Belles Aria Signature with the Vandersteen VLR CT.
