New Fritz Speakers: Carerra R


For fans of Fritz Speakers....   It looks like John has retired the Carrera BE and replaced with it with a new Carrera R.   Beryllium tweeter is gone and a new soft dome is replacing is.  Maybe the R stands for Relaxed?   Pricing has also been dropped and he's specializing them for $2300 on US Audiomart

@j_andrews - I had a pair of Carrerra BE's and I enjoyed them very much while I had them. I ended up selling them in a speaker upgrade a couple years ago. 

@tksteingraber - Fritz is great to chat with, yeah? When I bought my Carrerra's, he brought them to my place in San Francisco and we hung out for about 3 hours talking about this, that, and the other - very cool guy, Fritz! 

Ahh, I want a pair of these... 

 

The reason he doesn't do floorstanding speakers anymore is because of the cost to do the veneer on them vs the risk factor of shipping.  When a single speaker gets damaged in shipping, he has to reveneer 2 large speakers. 

All of his speakers are good if not great!

@troutbum - didn't see your question until just now. I upgraded to a pair of Marten Parker Duos....
