A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
My question would be this. Based on your "music listening" preferences, what sound and performance characteristics would you like more of than what the Fritz are providing to you? What areas of improvement are you looking to achieve? If dynamics, ... 
Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer?
I know this is an older thread, but I replaced a pair of subs (brand not important) with a single RSL 12S, and it such an awesome match with my Lascalas and my room.

Interesting article in PMA magazine titled: "If You’re An Audiophile, Watch Your Back". I believe many who post here experiences much of what is spoken, including me. A good read. Enjoy! MrD.  
HiFi satisfaction and/ or Musical enjoyment
To the OP. Welcome and thank you for sharing. I love music, and although I have a system that completely involves and engages me, I seem to enjoy music everywhere...car, pool, etc. I have enough gear for several systems, but I only listen to one..... 
When I listen to my system.......
"None of us are listening to music on our systems". Keep telling yourself that. I am done with this ridiculous commentary of yours, however, I still wish you my best. MrD.  
Oh my goodness!
@immattewj, people spending good money on gear, whether to listen to the gear, or the music, or both, should have a room to accommodate the expenditure. I have a dedicated listening room and have always for 55 + years (I am 70). It allows me to he...

Correction. Laptops are now being used instead of boom boxes....I am dating myself.  
When I listen to my system.......
So, I suppose @inagroove , that what you are spending all of your money on with equipment / gear / room acoustics is to reproduce something (music) that is fake? Why not just have a boom box, which btw, many musicians in some instances use to play...

To the OP, welcome, and do not let one or two of these posters dissuade you from posting here. Nice story, and a meaningful life lived, so far. If you are happy with your system, more power to you. Many posters here are not happy with their system...

Congrats. Personally, I would not change anything at this time, just enjoy them. Get them situated in your listening room relative to your listening seat....dial them in. My 1st thing to do would be to buy Dynamat and tame the ringing of the mid h...

@inagroove I regularly listen to mediocre recordings with excellent musicianship and composition, so I am not quite sure what you mean, other than to guess, you might be the type of audiophile who listens differently than I do. As long as you are ...

Great comments above. I was not stating my way of listening was the best or right way of listening, although for me, it certainly is. I gave up my career as an audio consultant a bit earlier than I had anticipated, because many customers were more...

The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio
The message I am receiving from some of the posters is this: "I can only enjoy music when listening to it on my main system". I find this very sad, and I also know too many who do not really care about the music, but "love the sound". As I said ab... 
The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio
@mitch4t when I am listening in my car while driving, I am still very enriched in the music. Yes, my home system gets me closer to it all, but it is the music 1st for me, every time. Enjoy! MrD.
