Budget system built around Fritz Fostex monitors and a vintage Marantz receiver. I also have a 2nd system w/Tecton Design speakers, an idential CD Changer, and a Topping Tripath amp.
I love the Fritz speakers - great nearfield monitors. They took forever (100+ hours) to break-in. You have to use a sub with these, IMHO. They roll off rather dramatically below about 60 Hz, which is where I have the sub's crossover set. They are also sensitive to placement - they like a wide stance (virtually no toe-in).
