Fritz carbon 7SE MK 2, Upgrade

To @robshaw have you tried other amplifiers in addition to the ATI 6002 amplifier with your Fritz speakers?

I’ve owned an ATI designed amp with 200wpc for many years, and used with with my home theater and tried it with my audio speakers. For some reason it sounded overly neutral, lacked some body imo, great for movie dialogue, and everything you’d expect for movies. When I tried it with my two-channel audio system I never could seem to be engaged with the sound as compared to my other Class A solid state or mono tube amps, fwiw.  Just curious if you’ve tried other amps with your Fritz by chance, fwiw.  

@decooney : You brought up a very interesting point!!!!!!!!!  In my main system in a much larger area in a shop/building outside, I have a much more sophisticated/larger system. (much larger area )  in that building I'm running a Pass X250.8 with a efficient pair of upgraded Tekton Encore speakers, with a Bricasti M1 SE dac

As the speakers permit, even at 90db levels or more the Pass is working in Class A mode. Sound is to die for!!!!    I'm just wondering? , especially after reading your post.   I have their top of the line 6002 amp, which model did you use.? Just wondering , apples to apples????  I think you may have a very valid point,  I would rather buy (I think) a better amp than try to carry the 100lb plus Pass from my shop to my home listening room. My luck, my wife and I would drop it. 

Funny, because prior to speaker searching, I was looking at used CODA amps their model 8 V1 . I think that is their highest rated class A version or the S 5.5 version which is 50 watts in just class .  Thanks so much for the post. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated. Robert TN

@decooney  I hope this doesn't violate audiogon protocols. Just wondering if I could call or e mail you later when I get home, later this afternoon or evening.  I would like to hear more about your amp compared to my 6002 version. Also what amp your using now that offer class A bias, and your opinions. Robert TN  If permissible and you prefer I ll give your my info? let me know. Thank you

To @robshaw you can reach me over on DIYAudio or AK without violating anything here or private email addresses.  I'd prefer to share more offline about other amps all using the same slot modules (all made at the same OEM), with one assembly line right beside the next., and with slight tweaks each different branding on amps. Also, you can read up on what I'm referring to.  Btw, I live near Coda, Pass, 15 minutes away, and grew up with all of that.  I run an older Pass (Threshold / Forte' Audio) variant upgraded by Jon Soderberg with the older Toshiba Mosfets, in pure Class A 50/80 watts. It sounds glorious golden sound compared to my super clean HT amps btw :) You probably already know this from your X250.8, i suspect. See you on the other forums.   

@decooney  I tried to register at that website, in order to discuss some amp topics and it stated the site was not safe, Https wise. I'm not to good at computer stuff. All i want to do is NOT cheat anyone out of something, just would like to discuss things audio wise, and maybe learn things as a result, before purchasing. An educated consumer?? I'll do what I can, thanks for your post. Robert TN
