Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound

@f208frank I have heard the Deville several times in a very nicely set up system with and without the subs.
While I was really impressed with their ability to image and throw a very nice soundstage, I was underwhelmed with the dynamics these speakers offer. They’re too relaxed, lack bottom end and lack the dynamic impact. They sing though if you feed them the right kind of music.

I have not heard the Sasha V but I own the Sabrina. I don’t find the sound to be analytical. Great clarity, drive and natural tone. The midrange is realistic and not colored. There’s also absolutely no way I would swap for the Fleetwood as it’s just not my ideal sound.

The decision is yours, like most anything in this hobby, and it should be based on listening tests if possible

I listened to both the Wilsons and Magicos and they are definitely quite amazing in their own way. I am unsure why Wilson gets so much hate. The Devilles definitely hold their own and I appreciate them even more after these recent comparisons. My only conclusion after comparing all 3 was that I like them all. *shrugs*

1. Wilson: that bass, time alignment adjustment, great all rounder (sasha v)

2. Devilles: so so easy to get lost in the music, vocals still sounded best and most natural on this speaker 

3. Magico: so beautifully transparent with less bass but more detailed, closed box design

Like most well established high end and expensive brands (B&W, McIntosh, ARC, Pass Labs), plenty haters out there. But who cares. Get what sounds best to you.

Another speaker I tried recent that surprised me a bit was the Focal Maestro + Scala. The vocals/mid range on that is very clean without that tipping point of over doing it like on the Magicos. 

The Magicos are really interesting to me because I never knew expected that many people to be into that sort of sound.
