Fleetwood Sound introduces Lux for Capital Audiofest

Fleetwood Sound will debut its Lux loudspeaker at Capital Audiofest in Washington DC, running from 13 to 15 November 2026. The Fleetwood Sound Lux uses a 10-inch coaxial driver, with orders expected to open the following weekend. Demonstrations are listed for Oswalds Mill Audio’s Room 826.

The enclosure, designed by David D’Imperio, uses carved solid-wood construction with a visible pattern across its exterior surfaces. Scott Hinson was responsible for the Lux’s engineering and design. The loudspeaker will include a two-week home trial with a money-back guarantee and will carry a lifetime warranty.

Hinson has joined OMA, Fleetwood Sound and PROMA full time as chief operating officer and chief technology officer after working with the companies for four years. His previous engineering and design work for Fleetwood includes the Helios loudspeaker and Fundamental Subwoofer.

Fleetwood’s new valve phonostage is also scheduled to appear at the show in prototype form. Its circuit is based on a variation of OMA’s PD2 design, with availability expected from early 2027.

The company’s planned solid-state amplification uses gallium nitride FET technology in a Class D configuration. Its amplification plans could include a standalone GaN amplifier and an integrated amplifier incorporating the new valve phonostage.
