Fritz Speakers
Thanks for the feedback @jjss49 ​​@atmasphere           
Fritz Speakers
Thanks for your insight @jjss49  Regarding "well integrated into the system", that is perhaps the sticking point I've been having.  I have two fast Omega deep hemp powered subs with 8" drivers.  I've certainly had moments where I felt they were i... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
I see now you mentioned the Coda 16, should be quite the pairing   
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
Did you say what amp you’re using with them?

Interestingly, I think the LRS speakers I purchased last year just opened up. I'm mentioned here that I switch them with another pair of speakers (Fritz) and they probably see 25% of the play-time ...So even though I took delivery of them almost ... 
Fritz Speakers
@mesch yes the Fritz don't require the power the LRS do...not anywhere close.  Fortunately my Van Alstine amp plays very nicely with both sets of speakers.  But ...the treat is, surprisingly I can also use my 3.5 watt 2a3 SET amp with the Fritz w... 
Fritz Speakers
I'm a newish owner/user of Fritz Carbon 7 SE mk2 speakers. I purchased directly from John last summer. My listening is usually in the mid 60's (db's) with peaks in the low 70's.  Sometimes when my wife is upstairs I'll listen very low and I'm as... 
Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps?
Re: the OP, best of both worlds and Pass Labs….  Wondering if anyone is happy with the Microzotl preamp (or even the MZ3) into the Pass XA25? Seems like that could be an outstanding combo depending on speakers and everything else of course     
Innuos PULSE Mini?
Thanks for the feedback @tom2441 ​​@gkelly  Planning to pick one of these up in May after I move a couple of pieces I need to get out of the house. I think it's a natural step up from something like a Zen Stream or a Node without jumping into th... 
Innuos PULSE Mini?
I haven’t seen too many first hand reports from users of the PulseMini. Are there any ppl here who have been happy with this entry streamer from Innuos. I mentioned before that I’d like to upgrade my Ifi Zen Stream with LPS to the PulseMini… but... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
@atmasphere  Would love to know how those Class D mono’s played with the Carbon 7 speakers. Thanks for your response. Yes I imagine it's quite the frustrating puzzle to get some of those hotel rooms to sound good and then invariably nobody ... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
Is there anymore feedback from the Atma-Sphere / Fritz paring from anyone who may have been there? Would love to know how those Class D mono’s played with the Carbon 7 speakers.  
Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s?
@mesch that’s great news and the info I was hoping to hear when I started this thread. I don’t have the XA25 yet but plan to pick one up in the coming months. My room is the same size as yours and my plan is to use the XA25 with my LRS’s as we... 
Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s?
@russ69 as I mentioned earlier they are in a diagonal placement in my room … so coming out of the corner and my listening position (couch) is at the opposite corner. I believe this placement is doing a lot for the image, depth and bass. The ou... 
Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s?
Thanks all...really appreciate hearing from the folks who’ve had first had experience with these pieces of equipment. I realize I’m kind of having 2 conversations at once with myself (1) XA25 vs F7 & (2) Will the XA25 play nicely with my L...
