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 imagine the Fritz speakers would also sound wonderful with the Don Sachs pre and F7 amplifier. 

I am surprised he said that about the 120 SET amp. It is a 60wpc amplifier with a passive attenuator. It seems to me based on your OP that it would be a good candidate for your needs. 

With a budget of $1500 and a pairing with either of the Fritz speakers I would think the AVA 120 integrated would be hard to beat. The choice would then be between the Carbon7 or the Carrera BE speakers, depending on the upper frequency presentation preferred. 

 

I find that driving my Carbons with the Pass XA25 the sounds improves as the amp warms up. About one CD worth of warm up makes a difference.
