Definitely keep the speakers. I’ve been researching Fritz speakers lately and the Carbon 7SE looks to be awesome.
I agree with treating the room. I also recommend GIK.

audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade
Hello, I am reaching out to the community of those audiophiles who are looking at this unprecedented time in our history to upgrade their components. Why? because we are now spending so much more time with our gear and looking for ways to improve it, because we can :-) My questions is this; if there was one component you could upgrade in my system, what would it be and why?

Maybe add a sub or two + active crossover to the Fritz. Room tweaks always worth consideration but that all depends. Maybe some inexpensive absorbing panels at first reflection points from speakers to listening position on the side walls and see what that does. Carpet in front of speakers if bare floors. |
If that really is your "system" then boy do I have the upgrades for you! In no particular order: Synergistic HFT, ECT, PHT, Orange Fuses, Orange outlets Cable Elevators BDR Cones And then there’s the really good stuff. But for that you have to PM and as Riddick would say ask me all sweet-like. This btw is what your Koetsu will look like when you do:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Look real close. |
