Fritz Speakers
I have owned several Fritz Speakers as well as many other Brands. The Fritz Carrera BE is great at low listening levels.

Hi Mattlathrop, There are a few ways you could go: full-range, passive, or active. I have experimented with a lot of custom DIY full-range driver builds in the past and its really hard to listen to any passive speaker up close after hearing a Ful... 
$5k Pair Full Range Speaker Shootout - Help me pick
Hi Dougey Jones! If your a David Lynch fan then you might want to focus on getting a great pair of speakers that excel in tonality not dynamics. Merlins stand mounts, Harbeth, and the Fritz Carrera, as well as the Joseph Audio Pulsar are your tick... 
Looking for best bookshelf speakers
The original Fritz Carrera Be is the best low volume speaker I have heard. You get a really great soundstage, defined bass, tonality, and very realistic high frequency due to the Be tweeter/ but man it’s smooth (no fatigue). On top of that you can... 
Dynaudio Special 40 in the house
Man I have ripped these speakers probably more than anyone. I am a big Dynaudio fan but the special 40.... man how do say this. Take the woofer out and look at the crossover, and think about what you see? What you see is a a crossover that was so ... 
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
Hi HLD,I have the Fritz Rev Carbon 7 mk II, I also have had the Fritz Carbon 7, Fritz Rev 5, and the first Fritz Carrera. None of these speakers are bright and all of them have something very unique about their sound. The Fritz Carrera Be May be s...

Jeff Bagby passes away due to Covid
Wow .... Rest In Peace Jeff... this is an enormous loss to the DIY world.  
Not impressed
The Fritz rev 5 was great but I did not have the right amplification or room setup up at the time. They did not pull double duty for home theatre as well as another speaker I had at the time but they were far more musical. Right before I returned ...

upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1
Drop that 40 and give Fritz a call. Had the special 40 next to his Fritz Carrera Be and it wasn’t even close. That 40 has a disappointing midrange, the Fritz on the other hand sounds like single point driver had a baby with a bigger Harbebth

$3000 stand mounted speakers?
Ok I have to step in hear. I had the Dynaudio Special 40 and the Fritz Carrera Be side by side... it’s not even close. The special 40 has one of the worst midranges you will find for a speaker > $2500. It’s almost criminal how bad the crossover... 
Desktop speaker upgrade from KEF LS50s (
Possibly look at a DIY full range driver. That audience may be hard to beat but supposedly this speaker by Genelec is the king of near field monitoring now:  Genelec 8361A 3-way Coaxial Powered Studio Monitor.
