New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan

Based on another thread here showing all different speakers people have owned, it would seem that most never really find “end game” so handling and shipping are a big deal for many. 

@jetter 

Thanks for the compliment. My first trade was around 2001 so twenty plus years now not fourteen. The join dates got screwed up when they redid the site many years ago. 
 

At any rate I consider my communication skills adequate and they have served me well over both my professional career and my trading hobby. 
 

In @soix defense my first post was a bit short and included a perhaps obscure reference to Mr Rogers which I grew up watching.  
 

But soix’s angry, denigrating response is one of the reasons I don’t post more. In my experience it’s not an isolated instance, especially on this forum. 
 

I'm planning on checking these out at CAF next weekend. I hope they sound good. I briefly owned a pair of the Spatial Audio Lab X5 speakers and they sucked. The AMT tweeter was brutal, it didn't blend well with the other drivers and constantly called attention to itself. I owned them for 2 or 3 months and I couldn't take it any longer, they had to go. I believe these are more akin to the Spatial Audio M5 Sapphire which I've never heard. 

I didn’t have an issue with the AMT driver really. What I didn’t like was using a 12” driver to reproduce the midrange. It was a little beamy and didn’t have the realism and texture of a good midrange reproducer. The X3 is the only spatial speaker I’ve heard, but it seems that Clayton insists on using larger drivers for the midrange in all his designs. I’d really like to hear a pair of the PAP using the wooden horn.

I think these speakers will be closer to $6k 

where did youget $3k ?
