Fleetwood Sound Company

I don't remember what they were being run with at CAF in 2019 but they were really good there and I also thought they were excellent when I heard them a couple of weeks back.  In that case, the amp was the McGary SA-1 with a Backert Labs preamp--so hardly the most expensive gear you could own.  I suspect they really like tubes and would guess that's what Chris Sommovigo was using with them at CAF as well (because he usually had tube gear at the shows I've seen him in).  

I heard them, can't think of any reason not to buy them except I don't have the spare cash at this point.  They don't have the imaging of my Vandy 3Ce sigs but are otherwise are spectacular. I suspect if someone bought these and had issues with their sound  they almost certainly have system issues. Works of art on top of the sound as well.

phastm3, posting a video proves nothing other than you have a video of a system containing these speakers. It might not even be these speakers playing. I can say one thing for sure. Regardless of whatever is playing that is one evil sounding room. Whoever owns it has work to do.

Mijostyn, you are exactly right…I only posted the video to prove I had the speakers. I guess all of the videos on my YouTube channel are of someone else’s room. What would be my motivation to play other speakers and lie about it? You act like I trashed the Fleetwoods and warned everyone to not buy them. I only said they didn’t sound good in my system compared to about a dozen other speakers. I guess we are judging how a system sounds by a YouTube video now….try again. 

Yes the price of lumber has gone up which could justify a price increase but I remember years ago when Jonathan released the mini speaker.  It's initial price was $13,000 which I was saving up for to purchase and about a year later  I was ready to purchase but the price increased to $18k.  Perhaps this is done with all their new product offerings.   It's you the consumer to decide if it's a good value or not.
