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.

I wish Clayton luck, but just an observation - I’d have thought Spatial would have insisted on a non-compete clause or agreement on his departure. In other businesses I’ve been involved with I’ve seen as short as six months, but as long as two years.

My concerns are will these speakers be serviceable in a few years when Claytons health goes south again. I wish him the best BUT this is always a valid concern especially with Boutique one man shows.

These have me interested as well.  I don't need them, I don't really have the space for them, I just want them. I like the idea of completing the trifecta of box, horns & OB speakers and owning all of my favorite speaker topologies. That price is super tempting. 

 

I am also interested in these new speakers. But someone mentioned what will be the availability of speaker driver replacements if ever needed. This is one of those things I would not have thought about.

I am spoiled in that my older speakers use currently available Scanspeak classic series drivers and I have replaced same in the past.
