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

@dsper - if those Carbons are new and anything like the Carrerra's I have, in a few hundred hours they will sound nothing like they do now. Mine were pretty ratty sounding with the various frequency ranges sounding unacquainted with each other for well over a month - but eventually they get to where they should be and you've got magic! 

Using the Carrera BE speakers in a 12X16 room with my Rogue CM II sounds very nice in my treated room. Just added a Rythmik FT12Se even better.

@larsman if those Carbons are new and anything like the Carrerra's I have, in a few hundred hours they will sound nothing like they do now.

You are correct about the sound changing. I am at about 50 hours and it seems like the treble has suddenly gotten more forward and accentuated...less laid back.

@dsper - Indeed - when they are performing at the level they will get to, 'laid back' will not be the first phrase that enters your mind. 😁 Enjoy the break-in process - you'll get to that 'Eureka!' moment...
