Article: Review | Fleetwood DeVille Loudspeaker System

[Djsherif]

I heard these and was left very unimpressed. These are not ~$10k speakers. To each their own I suppose but they were very shouty and unforgiving of anything not perfectly recorded. Too many better options at their price point. I have no doubt they will be the "IT" product of the season lol

Thanks.  You've got to think you're paying a premium for the craftsmanship and small volumes.  But it sounds like you're saying these don't sound like $5,000 speakers either.  That would be a bigger problem

I've heard lots of speakers all over the price spectrum, always paired with excellent amps and source gear. Let's just say, if these were $2k I'd think they were interesting but still wouldn't buy them. My unsophisticated ears think JBLs and Klipsch Horn speakers sound better. No emotional connection at all with these speakers. If people enjoy them and think they're worth $10k, so be it. To each their own.
