New video review of Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk. II "Punches above its weight"


There's an really well done review of the Fritz 7 SE Mk. II speaker, here:

He does a good job of describing the speaker and also comparing it to the Dynaudio Special 40 and the Buchardt S400. Also against Sonus Faber speaker. Fritz beats them, in this reviewer's opinion. I also concur.

I'm glad to see this review. Fritz deserves it and this speaker is amazing. 

One thing he could have emphasized even more was how easy this speaker is to drive -- with no dips below 6 ohm on the impedance curve.

"Punches above its weight" is a phrase which recurs. I can't agree more.

@j_andrews Your comment about the 3 wpc blew me away. I really regret returning these. I did wind up with towers but I miss these speakers a lot.

@jjss49 I know -- 32 pounds? What am I going to do with my in-home forklift without my 250 Rockports ;-) 

cool little speakers, possibly on my list for a future consolidated and downsized system, with lower wattage :)

Indeed it was a surprising revelation for me when John said to go ahead and try that amp with them…. I was not intending to use that amo at all with these speakers … purchased them specifically to use with that AVA amp.

But , John uses them with a 2.2 wpc Decware amp and displays a photo of the pairing on his website

(see the 4th pic down on his product page.   http://www.fritzspeakers.com/DreamWeaverFritzCarbon7Mk2SpecPage.asp) … Also the reviewer mentioned using the new 2 wpc Schiit amp. 

That said… with the right music, at the right volume the super low power amp works very well… plus mine has a beefy supply which I think helps,  but I believe the Carbons are better suited to higher wattage for all-around use.

I’ve been curious to compare them to the Ascend Sierra 2Ex.  Obviously a different flavor with the ribbon tweeter but would love to hear them side by side.

Thanks for sharing the Fritz video.  Such a great person to talk to and these speakers continually amaze me.  I have the runt of the family in the Rev 5 SE’s.  Couldn’t be happier and these special speakers. They do it all and I can’t get over the bass I’m hearing for a 5”…no sub needed.
