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

Could well be end game speaker, the active that is.  When it comes to dynamics and immediate attack, it’s difficult to match active.  Soldier on.  Good hunting.

@robertq how are you liking your new Fritzs ?  And what equipment are you using?

 

@foamcutter  i have had the Fritz carbon 7se MK2 for a couple of years now. Love Them.  They are currently paired with a Pass X250.8 AMP and a Benchmark LA-4 Preamp, Meitner MA 1 V2 DAC and Bricasti M5 for streaming. Streaming Qobuz through Audirvana. Great System, for a 13x14 room, also with a SVS SB3000 sub, crossed at 50 or 60 HZ, don't recall though. All Rock and Roll, 90 db  outstanding. 

However, in my main listening area  NEW,  NOW (used) Coda 8 V1 amp Bricasti M1 SE dac with Network Card, LA-4 Preamp, Dual SB 4000 subs an Tekton Special Encores (175lbs each) labor of love and BACK!!!! Been comparing ( older Tekton Double Impacts) with a newly purchased A/B switch from Pine Tree Audio. (great quality and good price)  Haven't listened  to the Fritz in a while , but, will soon. Every time I listen to the Fritz, It puts a smile on my face. Only have so much time, if you know what I mean. Hope this helps! Robert TN
