Another nice video about the speakers
There are not many out there so just sharing for those that might be into this.

I have a fomo of not getting an SQ version daily!Are you quite satisfied with the non SQ version?
In audio there is always a bit of fomo of not having the "best model" and I do feel companies take advantage of this.
I do not feel Fleetwood does this though to be fair. I feel Fleetwood tries their best to introduce people to their product offerings to a wider set of clients since OMA is quite expensive.
I tried them with BH Kaiju + BH BeePre2, Riviera AIC10Bal, Airtight 10R, Technics Refrence ampAny one else own these use any other amps?
Oh cool, how was the technics? Jon mentioned he liked that amp for it, and also mentioned for the cost of the amp, no one takes it serious so its quite the gem. I never tried it myself and plan to use AIC10 as I also plan to use it with headphones (abyss tc)I tried them with BH Kaiju + BH BeePre2, Riviera AIC10Bal, Airtight 10R, Technics Refrence amp
Technics was my second favorite after my BH setup, much better than AIC10 imho. but i have not compared the side by side. I will soon do more comparisons with various different amps and I also keep thinking about buyingt the technics...Oh cool, how was the technics?

Don't get me wrong AIC10Bal is one of my favorite piece of hifi gear and I will probably never sell it. Its a masterpiece, nothing sounds better with headphones.Wow really, the technics was better than the AIC in your opinion?
Can you elaborate?
If you ever do A/B them, can you please let me know your new impressions and try not to use old impressions to taint your A/B session?Don't get me wrong AIC10Bal is one of my favorite piece of hifi gear and I will probably never sell it. Its a masterpiece, nothing sounds better with headphones.
but when it comes to DeVilles to me it sounds a bit thin compared to 300B amps. Some people say Riveirra is more accurate and natural.
I only tried Technics once but it did sound fuller, more like a big tube amp to me, and that impression stayed. If I a/b them today, maybe it would feel different.
I did the the basic version as I was buying them blind and didn’t really know the difference. But now if I could I would get an SQ, I had a chance to listen to them in the OMA studio in Brooklyn after I bought them.
Its still the same speaker but its just a bit more solid sounding.
When it comes to their placement I was hesitant to place them in the corner for a while, but because they are down ported it works well!
I am no speaker expert, as I been mostly dealing with headphones but this did surprise me.
I was wondering if anyone else have tried DeVille speakers in this forum?
I got a pair a month ago and I couldn’t be happier, but happiness is only true when shared, so I wanted to start this thread and see if there is anyone else here?
I am no speaker expert, I have tried TOTL B&Ws, Focals and some niche Italian brands, but these are the only speakers that sounded better than my Abyss 1266 TCs.
Anyways, here is my current living room setup with Bottlehead Kaiju 300B, BeePre2 300B and Topping D90 for easy connectivity to everyones iPhones and Apple TVs.
Review that made me get them:

its an ikea FJALBO kit, its works great for tube amps!Also that cabinet of yours, is that a dedicated audio rack or it just happened to have mesh holes in there for breathing of electronics?
