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.

Hi Kenjit,
For reasons posted above, and elsewhere I am not engaging you. 

Please have a nice day, wear a mask and vote.

Best,

I don’t think that being an irrational and noisy contributor to a forum should make anyone the subject of life altering experiments especially when they cannot give informed consent. Our history as a country and world has had enough of that.

Best,

I used to run a two-man custom speaker shop. It’s a hard business. I seemed to have found more than a few customers who thought they knew everything, but they had no clue on what it takes to make a decent speaker. Often the customization of the speakers people wanted would destroy their performance. My favorite was being told - I love these full-range floor standers. Put the same 4 drivers in a cabinet 1/4 that size so I can have them as bookshelf speakers on my desk. And he was seriously upset when I said I couldn’t make that work. That must have been Kenjit! And of course people expect you to build them their dream speakers and lose money on them. Maybe that was Kenji too? Now I just build or modify speakers for myself and a few friends. After reading these posts about Fritz I will send customers his way. I’ll try to make sure they are not the crazy ones!

There are a few youtube sound demo's of Fritz's speakers and they all sound really good.  Amazing actually for a speaker that size.  I have been thinking about a new set of speakers in that price range but I can get a brand new pair of Vandersteen 2CE III for less than the small stand mount Fritz.  Still, as I get older the thought of a small stand mount speaker with a full range sound does sound awfully appealing.  May need to arrange a demo of these Fritz speakers.
