| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @jeffseight Thanks you. I am in no hurry to sell the Fritz speakers. You are right about the 'highs'. My goal was to develop a system that relied on quality power, not quantity power. Said system best fit my budget. I also believe that the value ... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 So great to hear from you, welcome back! I am still enjoying my Fritz Carbon 7s with either the Aric Audio Transcend tube PP or the Pass XA25. | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 I am in a similar situation. I have the LRS+ and sometimes think of trying the .7s in my 15x12' room. They are in rotation with Fritz Carbon 7s using different amps on each pair. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @paulcreed Yes, I have always considered the Pulsars as a speaker that would fit well into my room/system when I had a SS amp with the power to drive them. My current SS amp is the Pass XA 25 which I believe would be marginal at best. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @paulcreed Yes, I have come to the conclusion that at the stated $5000 budget a new speaker pair would likely be a sideways move. I will research the Ref 3a, thanks. To all, as I stated above, I plan on keeping the Fritz speakers for the time b... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @jayctoy Thanks for the info. For now I am going to stick with my Fritz speakers. I remain interested in his KT88 SET. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Streaming is great for the several reasons mentioned above. I continue to play CDs because I like too. | |
| Room setting: new amp or new speakers? I would first make the adjustment on speaker placement for the best presentation you can achieve within your room using your current speakers/amplifier. Then consider the purchase of new speakers. Keep in mind that you will then require a new amp... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for the review by Terry. I have not heard Aric's speakers as I live in southern Illinois and have not traveled in is direction for a long time. For now they are outside my budget and I am thinking they may be a little l... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 Try Ray Brown trio - Soular Energy. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @vthokie83 Yes, being able to talk with the designer/builder is truly an advantage. That is why, beyond great sound, I like owning gear from John (Fritz Speakers) and Aric (Aric Audio). | |
| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier @decooney My Transcend is an earlier model which I bought used. His later version has similar circuit topology with higher grade parts. Aric can build/modify to ones desire. A fine person and easy to work with. You will enjoy your conversation wit... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @vthokie83 I have researched the Volti Razz. Living in southern Illinois allows a trip to the factory for a listen. I have to say that i think they may be too much for my room. | |
| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier @decooney I never did purchase the LM845. Stayed with separates. I purchased a Pass XA25 and shortly after an Aric Audio Transcend PP tube amplifier which I rotate in use with my Aric Audio 6SN7 based tube preamp. | |
| Have an integrated amp with only 1 subwoofer out... Run one set of the L&R outputs from equalizer to the aux L&R inputs on integrated. Run sources to equalizer. |
