Fleetwood Sound Company

Currently at BEK HI-FI in Pennsy

i heard these speakers at Jonathan’s studio in Brooklyn a week ago. I was speechless. I never heard a sound like that before. I have hegel b&W 805 D3 combination and his setup sounded much broader, with better mids, and offered a more engaging overall experience. I think B&Ws are still better in detail and definition of highs. the design of the speakers is completely different from what other companies are pursuing and worth your listen.

I am a dealer for Fleetwood Sound’s DeVille speaker..... so, feel free to discount my comment..... until you hear these for yourself.... each of you are welcome to make an appointment (North Jersey)... 973-979-2212... a relaxed, thorough session.... form your own opinion....

I saw many comments (negative) on here, from people who have never heard the speaker.... I wouldn’t invite you to come if I thought I was wasting your time....

Came out as a loss leader....  price is $12,600....  another extremely popular speaker company came out with a speaker that followed a similar price history...  but that's all they have in common.....   

Do not pull the trigger on any speaker until you hear this.....     just a suggestion

I've heard them twice, once at CAF and more recently at a dealer's home.  They are really, really good and at some point, I will probably take the plunge.  I do find it disappointing that for a newer speaker on the market they have jumped the price more than 30% since I was first aware of them at the end of 2019.  I guess the appearance on CBS This Morning was good for them.

I do think this is heirloom quality stuff, so maybe they are not for the speaker flavor of the month club but for others, the value might be there.  I own a pair of Volti Audio Rival SEs that are never leaving my house.  I imagine the same would be true of folks who own the Deville's.

  The Price of Lumber has gone up about 50% since COVID. The Cost to FRAME a house has gone up 25K-30K per house.  So WHY are you surprised that a company that uses REAL wood...not compressed MDF crapola....is raising their prices to compensate for the additional cost to make their speaker??  Perhaps you should follow the commodity market so you understand about costs/inflation etc.  Lumber is down this week BUT if the trend goes back the other way you should expect EVERY Speaker Manufacturer to jack up their prices if they havent already.
