I think Fritz’s products are very electronics tolerant. If you have the money and want trouble-free, Luxman, Mac, Accuphase. Really need to know budget and what volume you are expecting.
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
Hi All,
I started a discussion about "Monitors for 14 x 20 Room" back last November. There was a lot of good advice and Fritz Speakers kept being positively mentioned.
At the time, I thought WAF would be low for a larger sized monitor. Now I think I have the stage set for Fritz speakers and am thinking either new Carreras or Carbons.
I would prefer an integrated amp because it is one less piece of equipment io place in in a constrained space.
I would also prefer solid state to solid state, in order to have this system as problem free as possible.
Your ideas and suggestions, please
Dsper

Thanks for the ideas! @ soix probably $1500 give or take. Thought maybe I could find a good used piece. I was wondering about Parasound or possibly Anthem. Maybe a class D? @ j_andrews can you share how you judge the sound differences between the Carbons and Carrera I would have the same setup as your room but with 8 foot ceilings @jeffrey125 would love to go with tubes but don't want any hassle in a location that is far from my stash. I have a pair of Quicksilver horn monos that would probably work. But also figured an integrated would take up less space.
Thank you ! |
i haven’t heard the Carreras so I can’t actually comment on them. However , others have said the Be tweeter can be very energetic even though Fritz’s implementation is also said to keep things natural and relaxed . So, I would recommend calling John and speaking to him about your room and what music you’ll be playing and how loud, etc. He’s a super guy and will help you sort things out without giving you a hard sell. My room is 13x18x9 with big openings on 2 of the walls. I also agree with @chayro … you can pair them pretty effectively with a lot of amps. They are easy to drive so you could start with what you have and then upgrade the amp later. My Carbons also sound very good with a $380 Vista Audio Spark. At your budget, I would at least take a look at the Alstine SET120 Control amp.
