Sjofn the Clue v. Fritz Carbon 7 or other Fritz


Has anybody heard both these speakers or compared the Clue directly with any other speakers from Fritz or the Emerald Physics MS3? My room (really my office) is 13x13 with 8.5' ceiling. Both front and back walls are glass. Speakers will be stand mounted and nearly against the front wall (hence the interest in the Clue). Amps are Wyred mAmps. Sources are USB, Ipod via Pure i20 dock and CD. DAC and pre-amp are yet to be determined. I tend to prefer a slightly warmer sound, but good tight base. Music is most often rock/pop and electronic house/chill/lounge, but not limtited to these generes.

Thanks for the input.

I've heard the clue speakers and they're quite good for the price. I think they excel at Rock, Pop, Electronic etc. And Lars at Sjofn is just a blast to talk to. Spent a couple hours on the phone with him talking about speakers, the Seattle music scene, Jazz, Nordic Jazz and completely off topic subjects.

Instead of the usual flamenco guitar, Diane Krall, they play at audio shows ad nauseum, he plays Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Metallica.

Even sent me CD's to listen to free of charge without purchasing anything from him!

If you live in the VA/DC/MD area he has a fantastic rep that has a whole line of bang for the buck audiophile products (including The Clue) he'll haul to your home to listen to in your setup.

His name's Mark and email is [email protected]. He traveled to my home twice already (an hour each way) just to bring various gear to listen to. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
