Ok I have to step in hear. I had the Dynaudio Special 40 and the Fritz Carrera Be side by side... it’s not even close. The special 40 has one of the worst midranges you will find for a speaker > $2500. It’s almost criminal how bad the crossover design was for the speaker. Everything else is great but what all the reviews referred to as warm is nothing more than a congested mishap in the crossover. I have a pair of $120 diy speakers that have a more expensive, better designed and more coherent crossover then the $3000 special 40. On to the the Fritz... Most musical and detailed speaker I have heard. They have loads of detail like a pair of Merlins but make everything sound great and their is a real sense of weight. I guess the only step up would be a pair of Joseph Pulsars. Honestly the Carrera has one the most magical midranges you will ever hear. The Fritz Carreras can be driven with almost anything.. the Transducer tweeter ads so much tone and texture to the crossover region, and combined with the series crossover it sounds like a single full range driver. One could say the only neg of the Fritz Speaker is they are not the end old for speed and dynamics, but music... yea music
$3000 stand mounted speakers?
Whats a good contender in the $3000 range for a small monitor speaker to use with an EL34 tube amp w/ 40 wpc? The room is lively w/ hardwood floors and 18' x 22' x 9'H family area.
I'm contemplating the ProAc Tablet 10, but I'm wondering if I can do better by increasing my purchase up to $3k.
(FYI, I don't want floor standing speakers because of WAF, and have no problem from my end on this matter.)
