Poor Fritz

There’s no better value and no one as willing to make bespoke speakers out there than Fritz and these forums treat his speakers as if they cost $200K.
They don’t. They are remarkably affordable and yet potential customers put him through the absolute ringer, asking for custom features, going through 2 or 3 models of home auditions and maybe not even buying any of them.

Look, you buy what you want to buy, but I think not enough credit is given to the man or his speakers in terms of the overall value proposition and I think this is a disservice overall.  If you write a 5 page review, please keep this very much in mind that you are not reviewing Wilson or Focal's flagships.  Maybe he doesn't deserve quite the same scrutiny.

Nobody should buy a fritz until they are told about what aspects of the sound quality are BAD. 

All people have done so far is extol the virtues of Fritz speakers as if to say they are PERFECT all the while knowing that they are not perfect. 

So does anybody dare to criticize the great master speaker designs of Fritz or are his speakers PERFECT AND FLAWLESS?

Fritz never said that his speakers were perfect and flawless.   Only a few manufacturers have told me that at shows and their speakers generally were very imperfect.  Fritz builds really nice smaller speakers for a reasonable price.

No they are not. They are not even full range. They suffer from lobing just like other speakers. Nobody would buy Wilson or Magico or Vivid if the Fritz were superior. So lets be realistic.
