Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan

@temmple

I’ve owned Carrera BE’s with the Transducer Labs tweeter for about two years now and my advice to you is that if you have any hesitancy at all about the Be tweeter sound then opt for the Carbon 7 SE or the Rev 7 SE which both have Scan Speak dome tweeters. The Rev 7 SE will be the closest to the Carrera’s in terms of driver quality in that it uses the same woofer as the Carrera and a top line Illuminator tweeter. A bit less in price than the Carrera.  Any of the three will be fine with the Kinki as I powered mine with the same Kinki as did Fritz himself at one time.

If you're talking about the Carbon 7 SE Mk II tweeters, from my phone conversations with Fritz he thinks the new tweeter is better than the one in the original version.  Never heard either version but I would trust his choices.  Also the Rev 7 SE gives you a similar speaker as the Carbon 7 albeit with higher line drivers and a higher corresponding price.  In the end it will come down to whether you feel comfortable trying the Be tweeter or want to take the safer route with one of the silk dome tweeter models.  While the Carrera sounds good with most any amp I found that it does love tube amps the best.
