Admitted Fritz fan here. I think, with the music you prefer, you risk having a too “in your face” presentation with many other speakers. Fritz designs his speakers with a more musical and polite (in a positive way) presentation that sounds very non-fatiguing, which IMO works well with aggressive music. Have you experimented with a second sub, perhaps crossed over a bit higher? That would give significantly more bass energy and take some burden off the Fritz, allowing them to play louder and cleaner without losing the qualities you like. Just my opinion 💡
Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade
I hate the title above, but didn't know how to phrase it. Current system is secondary one, but, great otherwise. ATI 6002 AMP, Benchmark LA-4 preamp, Meitner DAC MA1 V2, Bricasti M5, above mentioned FRITZ speakers, SVS SB 3000 SUB, Streaming Audirvana via Qobuz. 13x14' room, open door to bathroom and another to common hallway. ONLY play Rock and roll 85 to low 90's Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd, I could go on. Love my FRITZ, not sure why I'm posting. (will never sell) Is there a speaker that is stand amount (bookshelf), possibly small floor stander that will play superior to what I have (rock and roll) that is a dramatic upgrade sound wise. Will be keeping sub in place, currently crossed at 60. Have been looking off and on for Joseph audio pulsar Graphene, whether that is the correct direction. Have no way of demoing speaker in house, live an hour from Nashville. Willing to drive some though! Looking used up to 6k, a bucket list speaker, if you will. You folks at audiogon have helped me in the past, thank you all very much. Robert TN
