Poor Fritz

There’s no better value and no one as willing to make bespoke speakers out there than Fritz and these forums treat his speakers as if they cost $200K.
They don’t. They are remarkably affordable and yet potential customers put him through the absolute ringer, asking for custom features, going through 2 or 3 models of home auditions and maybe not even buying any of them.

Look, you buy what you want to buy, but I think not enough credit is given to the man or his speakers in terms of the overall value proposition and I think this is a disservice overall.  If you write a 5 page review, please keep this very much in mind that you are not reviewing Wilson or Focal's flagships.  Maybe he doesn't deserve quite the same scrutiny.

Great post. I am guessing that the margin is small. On top of all of those things, you get the occasional customer like a certain one that everyone here knows. You know, the nightmare customer that no one wants to have to deal with. The one that would make you question your sanity for doing something you love doing. Something you do far better than that customer could ever dream of doing.

It must be hell being that miserable. I have never seen anything quite like it. He is clearly not capable of doing better himself than what he criticizes. He can't tune a speaker to his own ears, he can't build the perfect speaker, he can't design a crossover, he doesn't know what measurements matter, he doesn't know how to design and build a cabinet. If he could, he would have done it. He has come to the stark realization that there is no way that even he could build a speaker that would make him happy.
