Fleetwood deville impressions -Mixed bag vs the competition


I recently heard the Fleetwood Deville , they are a very unique well made monitor. Listening to them they have very good dynamics and bass extension to maybe high 30 hz region 
which s good , they are more if you like a live more Row 2-4 perspective which for me it is too much 
in your face imo .that’s one of the reasons Isold my Yamaha 3000 integrated very detailed but the perspective detail very good too much of a good thing, where, comparison the MBL 
126 Omni speaker is only $2-3 k different and a true Omni directional speaker very balanced and even better detailed  through the mid bass, and micro details . the Deville for sure had better lowerBass. Being I use dual SVS 
3000 subs I am looking for a very well rounded speaker in the $15 k range with stands .
so far the MBL 126 is a standout . I really wanted to like the Deville .using Pass labs  mono blocks in the demo , and a CJ Anniversary preamp Shunyata cabling  Bricasti M21 dac streamer.the sonics were very natural ,the Deville s best selling point is the very nice natural woods ,and quality Italian drivers that can play loud,  if a bit more laid back perspective it would be a ideal speaker, even tried toe in , for sure the Crossover parts choice can tailor this which 
a Duelund,Jupiter, cap would be much more inviting ,they wouldnot disclose the brands but are silver casing,with blue,or red end caps a bit too neutral and even if ordered custom ,they not willing to work with potential buyer -go figure ? you would have to do yourself ,for That kind of money I will keep researching ,
but the MbL for sure is a current leader, and no thanks on tube amps I have had many getting to 
the point I just want to relax and enjoy.  Please do share your observations and recommendations 
Thanks and enjoy your 🎶 music.

I think you are right @tablejockey , they are lucky to get flat to 80 Hz in normal size room. There is a large advantage in limiting dispersion in your typical room. This limits room interaction and improves imaging. It would be highly unlikly that a small point source speaker would get you to row 2-4. Large linear arrays can do that.

@jimob , You are probably getting the impression that they are "in your face,"  because they are not boucing sound all over the place. I would be willing to bet that in your room you will get a more sharply focused image out of the Devilles. Both speakers are IMHO overpriced. You can get Magneplanar 3.7i's and Sound Labs 545's for the same price, better speakers in every way except perhaps size.

The sound labs are excellent the issue is room I cannot put them more then 2 feet from the back wall,  the MBL 120, or 126 sounded incredible , with my subs a full range monster, also for less money, Marten Oscar duo make a excellent sounding monitor ,or their floor stander ,entry level Marten maybe but very detailed and cohesive ,

Way overpriced nothing special here but the roasted wood , warm sounding 

realistically $10 k with stands and they are still making a nice profit

some of these designers think they are gold ,for similar $ monies the MBL 126 destroy these as well as the Perlisten , B&W %805 mk4, Dynaudio Confidence Borrenson Cryo. Monitors and many others that are less monies.
