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

I just did a speaker upgrade and happen to have a pair of Fritz Carrerra BE's I'm putting up for sale; I'll have them up on here or USAM later today if interested....

They are wonderful speakers; I'm just replacing them with ones that are in another category financially and sonically. 

@erik_squires - That's interesting to hear! In my space with my gear, they're quite the opposite. Those Carrera's rock in my acoustically dead living room, and with the right source and gear, they will shake the floor even at moderate volume. I drive them through an MSB S-200 power amp. 

@dsper - if those Carbons are new and anything like the Carrerra's I have, in a few hundred hours they will sound nothing like they do now. Mine were pretty ratty sounding with the various frequency ranges sounding unacquainted with each other for well over a month - but eventually they get to where they should be and you've got magic! 

@dsper - Indeed - when they are performing at the level they will get to, 'laid back' will not be the first phrase that enters your mind. 😁 Enjoy the break-in process - you'll get to that 'Eureka!' moment... 

Yes it is - I would recommend contacting/buying from Fritz - he's great to talk to about speakers and music, too...
