Rrog... thank you for the polish info... speakers?


You seem to be very knowledgeable about audio matters... so if you have time and any thoughts, I would appreciate it. I haven't been serious about audio in 50 years (first amp Bogan DB 212). I recently sold my Celestion SL700SE's (after 20 yrs.) through Audiogon wanteds and purchased Fritz Rev 5's with upgraded Scanspeak drivers (Illuminator 5 inch woofers and Revelator tweeters) in 12x15x9 room. I think they were a prototype because I never saw them on his website... Fritz must have had them lying around, because I got them in about 8 days. Rrog... having the same amps as me (Quicksilver 90 monos) you might have some thoughts. My gut feeling and odds and probabilities tell me I will like them very much (but not very knowledgeable). I finally have time to enjoy music... in bar and restaurant business all my life in Chicago and all I had time for was work and fun.

You will enjoy the Rev 5 speakers and your amps have more than enough power to drive them. My company has been sharing a room with Fritz for the last couple of audio shows and I have spent extensive time listening to your speakers as well as the Carbon 7 model. Both are well designed and while not the most efficient speaker their impedance curve is very smooth. Note that we used 10 watt SET amps to power these speakers and attendees and reviewers alike were quite impressed that not only did this combination work it worked quite well. Congratulations on your purchase.
