New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan


As I understand it, Clayton developed these speakers after he parted with Spatial Audio.  At a cost of ~$3K, which is astounding, and a beautify wood baffle, they look sensational.  I heard the sound of them in the video below on my cans and was super-impressed.  They go very low in response as well. I can't wait to hear more reviews of them as I am sure that they will be excellent performers for a really affordable price.  You have lived until you have had OB speakers in your room, which is just my humble opinion.

Not a lot of bass! They need a lot of room to breath and they don’t image as well.

Open baffle have to many compromises and a following of people trying to “beat the system” instead of something with full range and can dig deeper down like a Wilson or Vivid audio.

@ricevs I am not sure if you’ve heard Wilson’s or Vivid’s properly set up in a good room(not a show in a hotel.) You never been to GTT Audio for example.

A lot of Arm chair quarterbacks always think rich people have the money to pull them out into their grand ballroom but some have a wife or family space that is shared. 
 You also can’t go buy measurements and the paper woofers they use from these open baffle companies are not the same quality as the ones Wilson use. 
Vivid btw you hear no cabinet just like an open baffle buy the way they use tapered tubes to take out 100% of the cabinet resonances. They sound “open” without the compromises of cheaper drivers, better imaging and much better tighter and faster bass.
