I know, I know.
But its sooo hard to just leave it alone. It's like an itchy scab, or head lice...

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.

Kenidjit If, at any point, you were to present a single argument either for or against something that was actually worthy of discussion, it would happen, but your infantile repetitive ramblings are no more worth debating than arguing with a young child who keeps repeating "are we there yet?are we there yet?are we there yet?" Let me guess - you claim to have "golden ears". Prove it. Your response is "Prove I dont". Heres the thing Kenidjit, when a hypothesis or theory is presented by anyone, the onus is on them to prove it. Not for others to prove them wrong. See, there is nothing you say that needs to be refuted, there is nothing of value. It quite simply, needs to not exist. |
Having spent the last several months in lockdown, and needing something to do, I've spent a lot of time building speakers of varying designs, sizes and feel. One thing I am so very curious about is the crossover design he uses. Makes an easy load for the amp, and apparently doesn't have the phase shift issues associated with a parallel crossover. And the crossover design is an indicator of how he works. Very fussy design. Any component changes will have a cascading effect. Simple, but so very elegant. His cabinets adhere to the same proportions - which makes production for a small manufacturer more efficient. Again, not so easy to do as every incarnation will require its own internal "magic". As for the other stuff in this thread... "I know you are, but what am I..." |
I have been on Fritz's site many times drooling over his speakers. The seem to have a simple sophistication about their design. There has been so much positive talk about his speakers across the internet that I am very curious to hear them for myself. I feel that speaker design is a very nuanced art. Much skill is needed to even be able to hear what is off, never mind how to fix it. A bit more to it than just gluing a box and throwing some drivers/capacitors/inductors/resistors into it like the Kenidjit would suggest. This process of buying, returning, buying, returning is just gross. People order wine at restaurants, and it is understood that if you dont like how it tastes, too bad... Now, if the wine is off, it gets replaced. And should they be scrutinized by reviewers? No more so than other speakers in their class/price point. I guess this whole "Wanna try that one" problem has come about as a result of internet shopping. Pro's and cons as a small manufacturer can reach a huge buying public, which is great, but, you then have to deal with some less than "proper" customers. Kinda like this a poster in this thread, and how the village idiot thinks bricks and concrete make you an architect. Less than "proper"... |
Quite fond of Decwares approach to audio components. And for the DUMMIES who think making a speaker is simple for a small manufacturer, have a look at this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khUFKRlRm44&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3Z1keBsc2lZMUJ9TYerr27n... So yeah, you think they are gouging us? I think not. These are objects made out of passion. And, after setting up a shop, designing/testing/re-testing and finally going into production, its going to take a while before a decent living can be made. Never mind the time it takes to develop the skills necessary to understand how a component works, the cause and effect of making changes, having the ability to decipher what is heard and how to fix, you also need the physical skill to actually build the thing. These folks are not pumping out a 1000 speakers a day There are some here who can just shove it with their opinions, cause they don't know $h11T |
