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.

Right on Duke! 
Besides that, the cabinets on the Madisound speaker had cabinet walls only 18mm thick, and Fritz uses a special crossover. Customers pay for his thought and experimentation, and the results speak for themselves.

Hi,

Listen, I just want to remind everyone that we've seen this movie before. Same arguments, same obvious logical fallacies, and same protagonist.

Best,

Erik

"What good reason can you give to buy the fritz when you can buy better for a fraction of the cost?"

Got 5 good reasons. Experience matters.

Until a novice has -

1. Built them,
2. heard them,
3. compared sound,
4. in a group setting,
5. with experienced listeners...

...It’s all just talk until then.

Kinda like trying to convince oneself that frozen pizza with the same ingredients heated up at home is as good as a hot fresh pizza cooked in a really good pizza oven made at a real pizzeria. No comparison.

Talk is cheap. Best of luck.

Good Luck with the Madisound kit, they do offer nice kits and can sound very nice. Great starting point, and good things can be learned.
