Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers

Thanks for the ideas!

@ soix probably $1500 give or take. Thought maybe I could find a good used piece. I was wondering about Parasound or possibly Anthem.

Maybe a class D?

@ j_andrews can you share how you judge the sound differences between the Carbons and Carrera I would have the same setup as your room but with 8 foot ceilings 

@jeffrey125 would love to go with tubes but don't want any hassle in a location that is far from my stash. I have a pair of Quicksilver horn monos that would probably work. But also figured an integrated would take up less space.

Thank you !

Maybe a class D?

How about the Technics SU-G700M2?

All the best,
Nonoise

i haven’t heard the Carreras so I can’t actually comment on them. However , others have said the Be tweeter can be very energetic even though Fritz’s implementation is also said to keep things natural and relaxed . So, I would recommend calling John and speaking to him about your room and what music you’ll be playing and how loud, etc.

He’s a super guy and will help you sort things out without giving you a hard sell.

My room is 13x18x9 with big openings on 2 of the walls.

I also agree with @chayro … you can pair them pretty effectively with a lot of amps. They are easy to drive so you could start with what you have and then upgrade the amp later.

My Carbons also sound very good with a $380 Vista Audio Spark.

At your budget, I would at least take a look at the Alstine SET120 Control amp.

I would get the speakers… get them broken in, then start thinking about the character of the integrated you want… assuming you have something to power them today.

At $1500 you should consider used. Sugden A21 integrated may work nicely. Well reviewed and lots of tube like qualities.
