Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker.


The design and attention to the details is fascinating.  Roasted wood cabinet and unique wood horn along with several other fascinating design principles. I also relate to the builder’s sonic goals and priorities. Has anyone heard these or own them? If so, then please share your findings.  Thanks much!

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.

check youtube, the busy reviewer steve huff loves them to death

i almost pulled the trigger on a pair over a year ago, was deterred by the looks despite being curious about the sound
