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.

Ny, I thought the same thing.  Good to hear that wasn’t the case.

@kenjit , getting you banned for a month was easy.  I just showed the moderator 5 or 6 of your posts.  You’re nothing but destructive to this site.  I’d leave because of you but then you win.  Fortunately, all the regulars around here know that your a troll, and a joke.  We’d all be better off around here without you. You offer nothing good or productive.  You try to destroy.  Thats why I don’t like you.  Being totally conceited and completely ignorant is not a good look Kenjit, maybe you should change.

I’ll be ignoring you now Kenjit simply because you aren’t worth a second more of my time in this or any other thread, ever
"By buying the mdf and gluing it together yourself obviously. It would cost far less than $2200 I kid you not."

Some of us could not do it right even for $22000. We pay others to do it better.
Fritz speakers was great ! I have a pair of focal 1008 be and I prefer fritz carrera over focal 1008 be ! I talked to him a couple of times and I know him was very aged but his passion for speakers still with him by the ways he asked for some other crossover of other brand and his knowledge was great ! I hope fritz all the best of health and happy !

so if i wanted to charge you 2000 bucks to change your lightbulb, would that not indicate that i was being unscrupulous?
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"...
