Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers

@dsper have you decided on the Carerra or Carbon ?

I ask because I've used some of the same Scanspeak drivers in a few speakers I built, and upgraded, similar to the Fritz Carbon 7 SE MK 2. Warm, full body, nice.

The AVA SET 120 control amp and this speaker could be a nice combination for you.  I've studied Frank's amps quite a bit, his design, mosfets he uses, and this particular amplifier . You might ask Fritz about this again too, I think he recommended a similar combo. Return policy options on both make it low risk and possibly fun to try fwtw.  I like this idea. Might be a nice little system, best of luck.   

I use the Carbon 6s in my bedroom system. My integrated amp makes 5 Watts/channel. I don't run it out of gas and the system plays as loud as I want. Images float easily in space; the speakers are very good at imaging and detail. Not bad in the bass range either. I run a sub below 45Hz.

Hi All, 

Finally, I have my Carbon SE mk2's sorted.

I acquired a factory refurbished Marantz  CD60 player and an AVA SET120 integrated and things have come together.

Imagining, soundstage, bass, sense of aliveness and musicality are all there.  

With this setup,  the main thing I seem to miss is the last bit of detail and nuance. Not sure if it is the speakers, the amp, or the source!

But we are comparing a $4,000  system to my main rig that is multiples as costly.  Half of my main system dollars are tied up in a Mojo Audio DC and PS Audio PMT.

Anyway, I  can heartily recommend my Carbon setup. There is a warmth that is beguiling and you can just listen to music!

YMMV,

I’d be looking for a good DAC.  IME Marantz gear tends to soften treble detail and nuance that a better DAC could provide.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.
