I’ve commented on this before, but it bears saying again: I really like the finish on the veneers that Fritz uses.

Sort of like the wonky (but very cool) First Watt amplifiers from Nelson Pass’ stable, where you know not only who designed and tested the gadget, you also know who sourced the parts and built it!Īs a quick tour of the Fritz way of doing things, when a customer buys a pair of speakers, he or she will receive carefully tested top-notch (and sometimes quite esoteric and expensive) drivers loaded into a hand-built and finished box. Frankly, I have a hard time envisioning it as anything else, and that’s a good thing. And that’s probably just as well, since Fritz Speakers is a one-man operation.

Even so, Fritz himself has a way of flying under the radar he has essentially no advertising budget, preferring exposure at consumer audio shows and word-of-mouth to peddle his product. One thing most folks who have experienced Fritz’s speaker designs agree on is their inherently musical nature, as evidenced by myriad show reports and owner testimonies. I feel as if I have a pretty solid starting point for evaluating these speakers, as I’ve spent considerable time with others in the Fritz pantheon (the original Carbon 7, the Carbon 7 SE, which I presently own, and both the REV 5 and REV 7, both now discontinued), so it only seems natural to spend some time with a top-level offering out of the Fritz Speakers shop. Judging from my past experience with Fritz’s designs, my expectations were set high: I fully expected these transducer boxes to compete readily with designs costing considerably more. What I brought home with me that evening was a pair of Fritz’s top of the line Carrera 7 Be speakers, retailing at $3500 per pair. Heiler’s workshop, I accepted the challenge. Once I found out they were yet another product from Mr. Scot must have seen me peeking at them, as he asked right off if I’d like to give them a go. On a recent trip to Scot Hull’s place, I happened to notice a pair of nondescript (in the typical understated Fritz way) pair of speakers off in a corner. Perhaps I gravitate toward things I think I’ll like, or perhaps they just gravitate toward me. It should come as no surprise to anyone who frequents this e-mag that I ended up with yet another pair of speakers from John “Fritz” Heiler, founder of Fritz Speakers.
