^ lol, @deep_333 may have a point about large speakers doing the disappearing act if you know what you're doing. However, comparing those Tekton's to the Fritz is funnier than @winoguy17 telling the condescending, snarky tough guy to shut up! My experience is with Merlin TSM's, Trenner and Friedl Art's and a couple of ACI's back in the day. They all throw a huge soundstage that defied their size.
Why can some speakers disappear so effortlessly? (Fritz's Carbon 7 SE Mk 2)
Six years in, and my Carbon 7 SE Mk 2 by Fritz Heiler still do the thing that first amazed me about them: they vanish. I sit down, stare right at each cabinet, and still can't place the sound coming from either one. No sound from the left, no sound from the right — just a stage hanging in the room between them.
Everything else holds up too. Bass that's deep and articulate — pitch and texture, not just weight. Midrange that puts people in the room. Extended top end that's detailed without ever tipping into harshness.
I have other speakers too — large, sealed, Beyma AMT plus JBL 15" drivers — and I've been trying a wide range of amps over the years, running them through both speakers each time. Lately it's a DIY Class D that's lighting up the Carbons in a way I didn't expect. Before that, my Dynaco ST-35 also sounded great — and the Carbons still disappeared.
Anyone else own a speaker that still catches them off guard years in?

I mean 300 dollars is like the cost of some dinner, a haircut and a massage these days for you all..its not much to see if a speaker designer can make something "disappear" for real cheap if he knew a few tricks.. I would trial the fritz for 3k if that cabinet didn’t look so homedepot/menards/ace hardware..
