@badgerdms  The Blue Speakers I have are my Nenuphar Mini's.  The Powder Blue Deville's are awesome looking as well. They are on the Fleetwood/OMA website.

After noticing an unusual pair of speakers on season one, episode 1 of the continuation series of 'Sex In The City,' titled 'Just Like That' in Big's swanky Manhattan apartment. I learned later they were a pair of tube driven Deville's with a turntable source. One of us must be a member of that production staff, nice. 

As a hack woodworker I was taken by OMA's materials and production methods and delighted to hear of so many glowing opinions of their presentation. 

Given that I really dig my amp…the Nenuphar might be the only other speaker right now that would sway me from my Deville SQ.  Perhaps this would be a great option to swap in and out.  I always liked wide band single drivers - let the cabinets do their job when done correctly.

The story behind a product -- what’s the design idea, who built it and where, etc. -- is part of why many people buy a product. Along with the aesthetics. Fleetwood certainly has a compelling story behind it. It certainly has an aesthetic that some people like.

I’ve heard the speakers on a few occasions, with electronics both familiar and unfamiliar. I’ll just emphasize that these are definitely speakers to listen to, very carefully, before buying. My impressions did not line up at all with what the reviews say.

@metaldetektor very good advice about listening. Dont buy based on hype and carefully understand what your dealer is presenting or where ever you’re auditioning the devilles, or any speaker for that matter. As I mentioned in my impressions in the thread, these speakers give you throw. That said, its so easy to turn up the volume and notice how well and clean they play at high volume at the dealer showroom - surely that’ll bring you a smile but go beyond that and kick the tires more than usual. They are polarizing speakers for every element of our hobby.

@riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook wow, i almost decided on blue too…oh i i just re-read, you got it on the Nenuphar. Thats gotta be neat too…!

That Nenuphar in that wood finish is making me drool.

@m-db i think the speakers that were in the apartment were the OMA Minis, not devilles - which to me, is more of an eye-catcher between the two.

low325, now that I think of it yes. Glad to hear someone else here saw that episode.

Channel surfing when I saw the system and made it half way through the second episode, meh.
