Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

I am pretty sure the Caladan does not have that problem.  Clayton went from using Eminence woofs to Beyma for a reason.....however, two 12 inch woofers can only do so much.  The Beyma cones weigh 74 grams each.  This is why I am making my speaker (using the same woofers as the Caladan) using a time aligned planar dipole driver crossed over at 400hz.  The planar diaphram weighs something like 1.4 grams.  Should be way faster and cleaner than the Caladan that is crossed over to a $39 tweeter at 1K.  I should have my speaker up and working next week (woofers already burned in using a 15hz sine wave for 125 hours).  I mounted the woofers face to face and wired them out of phase.  I will have pics and information on my website soon.  By the way, this is a good way to burn in any speaker......just put them very close together and face to face and wire one out of phase and run a 10-20hz test tone all day and night.  You will hear nothing from the speaker but they will "wiggle" like crazy.  This is primarily for woofer burn in.....your whole speaker will still need to be played to be burned in or you can use wide band noise with them facing each other.....but it will probably still be heard......some throw a blanket over the speakers while they are playing.

Yes, it would be nice to find a planar driver that could do 90hz. It does not exist....you have to make your own....like Magnepan and Diptyque. Even most planar and electrostat hybrids cross over between 172 and 500 Hz (Sanders sound, Janszen, Eminent tech, PS Audio, etc.). And they have fanstastic midrange. Regular woofs are fine to about 500 hz....above that you want much smaller drivers or better yet planars. The trouble with Magnepans are that they have no serious dynamics (mostly because the frames are so flimsy).

The speaker I am making is for me.....However, I will share every bit of information so that those with the skills and desire can make their own. Not a money making thing. Later in the year I might? get the tweeters that are used in the Caladan and make a clone.......however, I just don’t see how a forward facing cheap tweeter crossed over at 1K and non time aligned and be anywhere near a dipole planar that is time aligned crossed over at 400hz.....and you can stack the tweeters and make a 32 inch line source for even lower distortion and better vertical dispersion. These planar drivers are just $50 each. We shall see....er hear.....soon.

Pretty shallow for someone so "deep".  All humans breathe the same air.  There is only one race.....the human race.....well, besides the ETs and angels......Countries are man made illusions. Ownership is a joke.....we are all one and stewards of this great mother ship.  When we realize our oneness.....and our beauty....then we wish ALL people well, and want to serve everyone.  May we all PROSPER!!  I wish you ALL well.

Come on......in the current climate.....you mention that?  For what purpose did you state that fact?  Why would anyone care?  You, obviously do.  Notice your CAPS?  Everyone did.  

All attitudes (from the souls point of view) need to eventually be done with......I am talking ALL attitudes.....including my attitude about your attitude.....The only thing that we need stated over and over again......is....that we are All beautiful and worthy......and that we love and bless each other.  Everything else is just the blah, blah, blah of the tiny ego mind.  We are eternal bliss.....we are eternal beauty.  We are not wars and anger and separation and being right about anything.  Except love.....we are ALL RIGHT about love........So, be righteous for what counts....and what counts is everything and everyone for that is what is ALL-ways going on......there is nothing but spirit loving itself......We have free will here on this planet.....ie, you can choose to be right or to be loving.....your choice.  Be seriously right.....about love.....let love radiate from every cell of your body and every fiber of your being.....NEVER. never stop loving.  I love you....always have.....always will.  We are not our behavior.  We are all here to grow up.  We are all bozos on the buss (including me).....but eventually (we are very stubborn) we grow into the infinity and eternity that we are.  Happy dancing....happy singing....happy hugs, and praises and kisses.  We are all each others babies and pets.  Please hug each other as a baby and as a pet.....powerful and amazing stuff this Love drug is.....love potion #9 is in each breath.  You see, I will never, I mean never stop talking, feelng, praising others, teaching (including mirroring behavior....so we can grow), preaching, writing, dancing, singing, LOVE......NEVER.  I am determined.  What determines you?  Love is the only thing that is important in ANY and Every moment.  This is what everyone here on this planet has come here to learn.  Lately, my learning has grown by leaps and bounds.....and one way it has, is by sharing the truth...that I know and feel.  I have a book coming out late this year that just says these simple truths over and over again.....but each time with a slightly different angle so that it touches everyone......at least that is my hope and prayer.  For I want everyone to know just how magnificent they are and that they can make their souls dreams become reality.  We deserve to live in the miracle of NOW.  Choose love now....and now.....and now.....and now.....for it is in the NOW that we ARE.  Thank you for this blessing of reacting to my post so I can say the same thing again.  Bless you.  Yes, I am a love NUT......and the NUT keeps growing......sort of like the blob....he he.....it will eventually devour us all.....however....we are the one enjoying the devouring....for we are the love that is loving.  We are the kiss that is kissing.....we are the joy that is enjoying......forever.

Thank you....yes, I usually spend more time editing.......just did this in another post where I made one paragraph into 4......and it was much easier to read.

You don’t need a drug to know that every second is a miracle beyond words. You have 70 trillion cells in your body......and they all are dancing together to make you live.......meditate on that!

Later today, I will have a description on my website on how to bi-wire the Caladans and make your own low frequency xover. This would improve the speaker a lot and allow you to have all the mid or low frequency juiciness you prefer. Also, you can re-solder the stock wires back to the woofs and you are back to stock and no one will ever know you touched it (so resale value is protected).
