Fritz Carbon 7's vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE

Kclone, thanks for the response. I'm seriously looking at the Carbon 7's. I can get them new for roughly the same price I can buy a used pair of 1.3SE's. I really like the Special 25's and if I don't lose too much with the Carbon 7's I think I'll be happy. I'll have ot give Fritz a call.

yeah, give Fritz a call. He is a great guy and will go the extra mile for you. The great thing is, if they are not your cup of tea, just send them back. I'm sure you searched already but there is already professional reviews on the Carbon 7s from Stereo Mojo, Sonic Flare, and Positive Feedback. So if you haven't already check those out. Everyone raves about the bass on these things, which is very good, but I was impressed with the treble myself. In the end, it is just a really fun speaker. What amp are you using?

I would be using a McIntosh MC162, 100w @8ohms.

Another vote for Fritz and his Carbons. I haven't heard the Dyn 1.3s, but I have heard the C1s, and I don't think the Carbon's are giving up anything like 5k of performance in that comparison. John

JDoris, thanks for the response. I had the C1's for a few months. A great speaker but my room was too small and I just couldn't give them the room they needed away from the back wall. That's an impressive comparison for the Carbons.
