Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker.

I acquired a pair of pre-loved DeVille's, non SQ. I agree with everything Steve Huff mentioned in his review. These speakers are game changers. 

They will change the way you listen to music. In my room, 13X28, I experience a holographic soundstage, close your eyes, while the speakers completely disappear and you are treated to a wall of sound with instruments and vocals coming from distinct locations. The aural cues, the space between the notes, the way these speakers render a musical performance is both accurate and beautiful. 

The challenge with describing sound is that what we remember most is the way a performance made us feel. Words by analogy are often inadequate, and sound memory is limited. I am a music lover and lifetime audiophile. These speakers are doing something different than anything I have owned or heard. 

A truly wonderful music reproduction system will do more than sound great, it will train your brain to hear music differently. Like any great art form, the art, if you are paying attention, teaches us to perceive with greater clarity and perspective. When a home based system affects the way you hear even live music by opening up your mind to new musical spaces and instrumental resonances, then you have something special. 

With a deep sense of gratitude. 

I’ve heard the original non-SQ version. Impressive soundstage and imaging. That’s their strength. On the warm and laid back side. They did really well with acoustic jazz. Weren’t great with rock even when supplemented by subs. Just not enough bite and dynamic drive/impact. I didn’t listen to large scale classical on them. Overall a must see and listen to determine if this is your kind of sound and whether or not you like the design.
It wasn’t for me though.

Out of coincidence noted a used pair with stands in excellent condition has recently come up for sale at Fidelis Audio in New Hampshire.  No relationship with them.
