@sangbro He's just a super nice guy, really listens to people -- no ego. Just a craftsman. He's been well reviewed and making speakers for a long time. He's happy to offer trials and will talk on the phone. I spent 8 months with his Carbon 7's and about 5 months with his Carreras. Just lovely sounding. I put it all in my write ups. Message me if you wish, or just give him a call.
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Hello,
I’d like to ask your general opinion and experience.
Of course, I plan to hear (if possible) both to make the final call, but would like to know possible long-term experience.
A room is about 14ft x 13ft, a dedicated listening room with couple acoustic panels.
My question is, (specifically or generally)
- Floor stand speaker vs A book shelf type speaker from the upper line up
What would be the better choice?
Technically, the bookshelf would provide enough sound for a room, and it’s from the upper line up, so I think this might be the optimized solution.
At the same time, I personally prefer floor-standing design (not that important), and though there might be slightly more power than I need, I think having slightly more power would not sound like a bad idea.

I compare Marten Oscar Trio vs Marten Parker Duo
Both are relatively new, and the price is basically same...
“This price factor” (assuming you pay for what you get, especially from the same company) is a tricky thing.
If this were B&W 805 vs 704 decision. It would be a lot easier.
What would you choose?
Happy New Year! :D

I also have a pair of Fritz Carrera BE's. Outstanding speakers. Now that I've had them for awhile, I don't know what I would consider an upgrade from them... maybe some Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphenes? Honestly, I'm done buying conventional box speakers because the Carreras are just so dang good. My next speaker purchase will be something entirely different and will be a second set of speakers. The Carreras are going no where. I don't think the Carreras can be beat for $3500 for a stand mounted monitor... Fritz is exceptional to work with. Easy to get ahold of and his build times are reasonable if he doesn't already have something available. A few competitors require a 6 month build time; not so with Fritz. Usually 4-5 weeks in plenty of time if he's doing a custom / fresh build. Give Fritz a call and discuss with him what your are looking for and see if it's a good fit for you! |
