@hilde45 Thanks for the video. I own the 7s, possibly the same pair you auditioned and returned to Fritz. Striped Rosewood. Purchased last September.
Mine are in rotation with Maggie LRS+. LRS+ driven by SS amp. 7s driven by tube amp.
New video review of Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk. II "Punches above its weight"
There's an really well done review of the Fritz 7 SE Mk. II speaker, here:
https://youtu.be/pbfHks9ukNs
He does a good job of describing the speaker and also comparing it to the Dynaudio Special 40 and the Buchardt S400. Also against Sonus Faber speaker. Fritz beats them, in this reviewer's opinion. I also concur.
I'm glad to see this review. Fritz deserves it and this speaker is amazing.
One thing he could have emphasized even more was how easy this speaker is to drive -- with no dips below 6 ohm on the impedance curve.
"Punches above its weight" is a phrase which recurs. I can't agree more.
