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.

Enough of the Kenjit hate. Who really cares what he says. If someone buys based on his diatribe, then so be it. It is what it is. We are all adults here. Let your wallet do the talking.

You ask who are the real trolls.
All members are agreed I believe: you and millercarbon.  All your posts are the same and many are irrelevant.
I'm going to stop reading them.  If we all do that, there will be no point in your writing them.
"I pledge, here and now, to ignore any and all posts by [insert troll]..."

Take this pledge into your heart and all future posts will never be sidelined again.


I had not heard of Fritz or his speakers until I read b_limo’s thread the other day.  Curious, I did slight research — he seems like a great guy, but then I checked the price for his Fritz Carrera 7-something (costs new $3500 for the pair).  They have a 7” driver paired with a small beryllium tweeter (if faulty memory serves me).  I thought, “How can a bookshelf-sized speaker create the quality or volume of sound that much larger speakers do?”  

There are many speakers in a similar price range, like the floor-stander Tekton Double Impact, with gobs of drivers of various sizes, so wouldn’t they blow away a small, albeit very good-sounding, speaker like the Fritz?  Obviously, hearing is believing, but I’m not in the market for speakers and I understand that Fritz sells direct and thus they would not be at a dealer.

It would seem to me that in some cases, size does matter.
