Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII

I have listened to them several times and I find them terrific values at anything under $10k. Exceptional parts quality.

The only possible negative is that if you are enamored with certain "high end" speaker's sound you'll find them too laid back, on the other hand if you've played the merry go round long enough you'll hear them as very neutral and transparent.

Like all speakers, they do benefit greatly from room treatment.  They sound much larger in a well-treated room than in one which is very reflective.

I have done two reviews of the Carbon 7:

I had the speakers for about 6 months. I compared them with many other speakers and tried them with several different amplifiers.

I would be happy to talk to you if you wish. Message me if that's of interest.

I purchased a pair of Carbons about four months ago. I agree with the positive comments posted here. 

Mine are on the long end of a 15 x 20 untreated room that has an area rug, sectional couch, and drapes. They are three feet from the sidewalls and two feet from the front wall. I sit about ten feet away. Very good sound stage left to right and in depth. One can move around a bit from the "sweet spot" and still get soundstage and focused images.

Also, the speakers will let you hear amp and source changes.

No sharp highs but the detail is there and acceptable bass for me...very enjoyable.
