Sjofn the Clue v. Fritz Carbon 7 or other Fritz

Has anybody heard both these speakers or compared the Clue directly with any other speakers from Fritz or the Emerald Physics MS3? My room (really my office) is 13x13 with 8.5' ceiling. Both front and back walls are glass. Speakers will be stand mounted and nearly against the front wall (hence the interest in the Clue). Amps are Wyred mAmps. Sources are USB, Ipod via Pure i20 dock and CD. DAC and pre-amp are yet to be determined. I tend to prefer a slightly warmer sound, but good tight base. Music is most often rock/pop and electronic house/chill/lounge, but not limtited to these generes.

Thanks for the input.

I've heard the clue speakers and they're quite good for the price. I think they excel at Rock, Pop, Electronic etc. And Lars at Sjofn is just a blast to talk to. Spent a couple hours on the phone with him talking about speakers, the Seattle music scene, Jazz, Nordic Jazz and completely off topic subjects.

Instead of the usual flamenco guitar, Diane Krall, they play at audio shows ad nauseum, he plays Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Metallica.

Even sent me CD's to listen to free of charge without purchasing anything from him!

If you live in the VA/DC/MD area he has a fantastic rep that has a whole line of bang for the buck audiophile products (including The Clue) he'll haul to your home to listen to in your setup.

His name's Mark and email is mark@wellpleasedav.com. He traveled to my home twice already (an hour each way) just to bring various gear to listen to. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Thanks for the suggestions. On price, would like to be under $1000, but can do more if they will work in this space.

J - no curtains possible since this is commercial space and local fire codes prevent it. I'll re-check for other threads.

Fritz is maybe nice guy but that is not reason you should buy
Carbon 7 speakers. BASS!!! People, what is wrong with you.
Bring the Mariachi band in your room and then you will have the bass. Music is not the bass! Let's talk about mids, highs,
full spectrum. Carbon 7 simply can not play music if is there no bass. For the music with the bass you must move Carbon 7
away from the wall at least 5 feet or they will sound, actually they will not sound at all. If you are looking for the speakers that will PLAY music look Focals or Harbets
