Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers


Hi All,

I started a discussion about "Monitors for 14 x 20 Room" back last November. There was a lot of good advice and Fritz Speakers kept being positively mentioned.

At the time, I thought WAF would be low for a larger sized monitor. Now I think I have the stage set for Fritz speakers and am thinking either new Carreras or Carbons. 

I would prefer an integrated amp because it is one less piece of equipment io place in in a constrained space.

I would also prefer solid state to solid state, in order to have this system as problem free as possible.

Your ideas and suggestions, please 

Dsper

fritz’s speakers come with a very high end be tweeter or a more forgiving (but less resolving) cloth dome tweeter

the carrera be and its ilk are best used with uber smooth refined solid state, such as hegel, pass, ayre, primare i-30, and so on

the lesser models such as carbon et al can be used with more typical solid state -- belles a/b, marantz, rotel, bryston and that ilk

i have found the david belles amps to be slightly on the bright side of neutral (this is true even for his wonderful sa30 class a unit, which i have kept), a consistent trait/voicing of his products relative to other serious solid state amps such as ayre, pass, hegel, gryphon, boulder

the aria in particular has a certain fine grain and sizzle to the treble... which can be a boon for certain types of speakers with laid back tweeters that overly smooth out the sound
