Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers

fritz’s speakers come with a very high end be tweeter or a more forgiving (but less resolving) cloth dome tweeter

the carrera be and its ilk are best used with uber smooth refined solid state, such as hegel, pass, ayre, primare i-30, and so on

the lesser models such as carbon et al can be used with more typical solid state -- belles a/b, marantz, rotel, bryston and that ilk

Lots of good advice here. Thanks everyone!

@jjss49 and @j_andrews I appreciate the sound characterization of the Fritz speakers. This was the sort of info I was hoping to obtain. I had a pair of Tyler Speakers with cloth dome tweeters and they were a bit too laid back for my tastes. I might find the same situation with the Carbons...

This is going to be work! I appreciate everyone's advice to think this through a bit. For example, my First Watt F7 amp paired with Klipsch Forte iv's resulted in an enjoyable listen but the "I am here" presence of the Forte's is lost.

I certainly should speak with Fritz again. He and I talked last fall when I was inquiring whether he still built any towers (he does not).

And we have not even discussed the source yet. Due to space constraints, I need to think CD player and not separate DAC and transport, so another opportunity...

Thanks, again!

I'm glad someone with a lot more experience and higher post count mentioned it before me (soix), but I have yet to find a speaker that the humble 75W Belles Aria couldn't drive. In fact I demoed the Fritz Carbon 7 with the Belles and it was a great pairing. In speaking with Fritz, it was apparent that he also loves David Belles' products. 

My experience with Fritz speakers is that he, like me, makes mellow and laid back speakers, especially in the mid-treble regions.  I like it a lot and find it very natural and easy to listen to for long periods of time.

The challenge however is a dark to mellow amp may be too dark, and that's kind of where I hear a lot of Parasound amps, and ICEpower Class D, both of which I've owned and have a positive impression of.

I guess it's , yes Parasound is very good but is there an inexpensive amp that will give you a little more color?

@erik_squires - That's interesting to hear! In my space with my gear, they're quite the opposite. Those Carrera's rock in my acoustically dead living room, and with the right source and gear, they will shake the floor even at moderate volume. I drive them through an MSB S-200 power amp.
