Anyone familier with Fuselier speakers?


I had the good fortune of finding a pair of 8-3D Fuselier
speakers at an estate sale. After breaking them in, I found
them to be the most natural sounding speakers I have had the pleasure of listening to. They are large three way monitors with Dynaudio drivers.If anyone has owned or has any additional information about these speakers, I would appreciate your comments.

If I recall correctly, they were well respected in their day. I think that many years ago I read a positive review of one of the models in Audio magazine. I seem to remember that they had a stepped baffle, with the tweeter set back farther than the woofer.
Hi Tom,
I believe they were made in Atlanta. Larry Avant had a pair. His had three tweeters arranged in an odd 3d array (see to appreciate). They imaged well behind the speakers so he sat almost between them, perhaps two or three feet back from the center line. I suspect they were early adopters of the midrange depression that simulates depth. All that said, they sounded very competitive at the time (late 80's) and were well made.
I remember reading about them in the Absolute Sound in the early 80's. They compared well with the Thiels and Vandersteens of the time according to the article. I was just thinking that I never had such luck at any Estate sale that I have ever been to! Bob
Fat Julian in Roswell sold Fuselier, don't know if there were any other dealers.
I can give you the whole story if interested. I knew John back in the day. The 3.8D was the largest of the Signature series and the only one to use all Dynaudio drivers. John's speakers were time aligned and phase coherent and pulsed quite cleanly. They imaged with the best of them. He was an audio treasure who was ahead of his time and under-recognized. Let me know if you want ot sell them.
