Are the listed names all still orders from November 2023 or earlier?

I’ve repeatedly tried to register at the Clayton Shaw Acoustic Lab forum. Might as well be spitting into the wind. No confirmation emails are ever received. Try registering again and it says the username and email address are already in use. Have made Clayton aware of this months ago, no solution ever provided.

List price recently increased from $3000 to $3450, but upcharge for Walnut baffles no longer exists.  Looks like all wood types now cost the same as Walnut did previously.  19% delivered price increase since December 2023.

I wonder how many pairs of Caladans have shipped to far?

Just found this in another post in this forum made on June 27, 2024.  Poster was sharing a phone conversation he had with Clayton.

"He said they (Spatial) are working on mid-November orders which there are roughly 200. Spatial is producing approx 40 units a month."

I don’t know either Clayton about registering for the forum. I never got a confirmation email that is supposed to be sent and allows a new user to set a password.

Just tried to create a new registration using another email address and your forum says that email address is already in use also.   Am giving up.

Gmail email address is what I've tried to register many times.

My order was placed December 8, 2023.  Haven't heard a word about them shipping.   Three to four promised ship dates have come and gone since they were suppose to be delivered in March 2024.  Last promise was I'd get them in August 2024.  That ain't happening.

. 75 orders shipped in 10 months. 

So that means 125 orders from November 2023 are still yet to be filled.  Even if it is true that 40 pairs a month are being produced (highly doubtful), then still 3+ months away from all November orders being shipped.

Please check your email.

Don't have my pair yet, but can tell you bass response is very much room dependent for any set of speakers.  Bass notes are long wavelengths and form nulls (soft bass) and peaks (loud bass) in a room when the reflected bass sound waves cross.  So placement of speakers within your listening room and where you sit makes a huge difference in the perceived bass response, as do bass trap room treatments.

I don't know @bache, so no, did not know that.

Hardwood baffles from the new vendor were suppose to start showing up at the Caladan manufacturing facility in Norman, OK this week.  Wonder if that happened?  If yes, guess we will start seeing people sharing they received their Caladan order.

Clayton just called me.  First shipment of walnut baffles from new vendor is due to arrive next week in Oklahoma.  December 2023 orders will most likely be worked on in November 2024.  He though my early December 2023 order would ship this coming December.  Thanks for getting back to me Clayton.

Emailed Clayton 2+ days ago asking for a production/shipping update.  No response.
