| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Okay Everyone, I need your assistance! The Fritz Carbons are in their final resting place at my wife's inherited home. The front wall is15 feet wide and the side walls are 20 feet long, with a six foot opening on one side. The backs of the spe... | |
| Wall treatments “Asymmetrical”? @ghdprentice You can simulate treatments with thick blankets and pillows to shape your sound space before investing in expensive treatments. Good point. Why waste money? Get to know the speakers right out of the box. Play with placement for a ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers FWIW, I am finding that higher efficiency, easier to drive speakers are a lot of fun. One is not obsessed with high power amps required to run inefficient speakers, so you can concentrate on the overall sound. For example, I had read about First... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @larsman if those Carbons are new and anything like the Carrerra's I have, in a few hundred hours they will sound nothing like they do now. You are correct about the sound changing. I am at about 50 hours and it seems like the treble has sudden... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Thanks for the advice. Will do some experimenting. | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Hi All, I spoke with Fritz and described my set-up and what speakers I have enjoyed listening to in the in the past. He suggested the Carbons versus the Carreras. A new pair of Carbons arrived today and have been playing for about four CD's wo... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @bdp24 Thanks, my question was the simple one of do I need to explain what x feet from the front wall means. Regarding speaker placement, I always try to get the best bass relative to where room logistics force the listening chair to be. I agr... | |
| Five feet from the front wall Okay...what speakers are you talking about? | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers Just wanted everyone to know I appreciated the discerning responses in this thread. I have reread it a couple of times and something new sticks in my brain each time. AVA has been mentioned by several of you. I had spoken with Frank in February ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers @j_andrews Mixed feelings to be very honest. It controlled the Forte 12 inch woofer but just made the highs too polite. Very smooth sound, but not what i would characterize as liquid. The Forte's can boogie and put you in the room when paired w... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers 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... | |
| 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 t... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! I hate threads like this because the Maggie's are the only speakers I keep thinking I should go back to. Let me explain. My first real speakers were original Large Advents; I still own two pairs. About 15 years ago we moved into a new home with a... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems It certainly is subjective. For example, is it the recording space and position of the musicians or is it the ability to hear the sound of the guitar pick on the string before the note starts? Is a system so resolving that it does not sound musi... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE @charlesdad1 Well, Pro-Ject makes their own optional LPS. Many RS2T owners are very happy with the LTA (Linear Tube Audio) LPS. I’m very happy with the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS. I do not believe that you could go wrong with any of these 3. Char... |
