Fritz Speakers


Lots of good reviews and comments here about Fritz speakers. I spoke to Fritz a few times about 5-6 years ago when last looking for new speakers, but went in a different direction. I find myself in the market once more, re-considering Fritz, and focused on the Carreras right now but interested in his entire line.

In particular, I'm wondering if anyone can comment on their low-level listening qualities. That's how I spend a lot of my time with my system. Speakers like the Focals do really well at lower volumes, and I'm looking for a similar experience. Interested in any comments about the BE tweeters as well. Thanks.

If you are doing Fritz + ub I strongly encourage you to plug the ports and raise tbe sub Hz as high as you can. Try it. ๐Ÿ˜ but before you buy a sib you should listen in room.ย  Hi speakers put out a lot more bass in room than you think

Curious if โ‰ˆ 50 Hz would be too high for the Sub frequency given that the Carbon 7โ€™s are 3db down at 38Hz

Would too high of a sub crossover interfere constructively with the mains and all of a sudden itโ€™s way too bassy?

the spec is +/- 3db so you can count on the bass cutoff to be -6 db from the level of bulk of the low treble and midrange ... thus start at 50 hz for the xo and adjust... the speaker is probably down 3 db closer to 50 hz -- incidentally, the good thing about rel subs as that both the xo frequency as well as level dials have detents, so you can track where you are in its range and adjust by small step

fritz is on this board frequently he may also chime in

When you speak with John (Fritz) please tell him I sent you.

I need some absolution. You want the speaker I have. Carrera 7 BE.

Could someone explain why such a "plainly" designed pair of speakers cost that much as $3.5k. Is the veneer finish made of real wood? Could someone give us a breakdown of the cost for each component including xover, tweeter, woofer, wires and terminal/post. Finally, the business seems out of a direct sale model so no middle man (dealer) is involved so I wonder how much is the markup? This appears a solid performer and a good investment IF the cost is justifiable.

This questioning makes sense when one compare this product with PHILHARMONIC BMR monitor which is beautifully crafted, highly raved sounding speakers but only costs $2k.
