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.

While ric is right, as usual, I don't have the equipment to DIY. Anyway, by comparison to many/most similar speakers, they cost a lot more

I am a HUGE OB fan. My Emerald Physics 3.4s (43" tall) throw an amazing 3D soundstage, outboard XOs. Sadly, no longer made, but the Caladans seem to slide right in, and at a super price point. from the video it looked like the jumpers were very thin. The OEMs when I first got my 3.4s was CRAP wire. I quickly upgraded it to amazing improvement

See them in my Virtual System

Cool that you can afford to have a stable of speakers. Looking forward to your thoughts... maybe start your own thread

Great report. I prefer OB to box speakers, especially when boxes are < 10K. If possible bring speakers out another foot. either way listen to a well known song from your seat, then stand up and walk toward the speakers. If the sound stage and depth get bigger/deeper then reduce the face angle

Also, everything should begin to settle in around 100 hours
