New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan

I love the way @pennfootball71 comes into a thread bashing three thousand dollar speakers as midfi, and to prove his point he compared them to speakers costing many thousands of dollars (some even six figures).

Where does midfi end and high end begin for you Mr. Penn? Can’t you come up with a better comparison than that? You go straight to Wilson and Vivid. Have you even heard any of the better open baffle designs?

OB speakers surely aren’t targeting the Wilson crowd. Obviously there’s too much chest beating puffery in that neighborhood.

Take penns comments with the tiniest grain of salt

Sad to see the desultory comments from a few posters as to this exciting new speaker development from Clayton.  Let's just wait to see what the public and reviewers opine about the speakers when they hear them.  I have it on very good authority that the new owners of Spatial understand and accept the direction that Clayton is going with his new speakers.  I haven't the slightest doubt that they will be excellent speakers at an affordable price, which is very exciting to anticipate for me. 

Any comments about how this speaker will sound are pure speculation. I’ll tell you what isn’t….based on their size and weight, shipping will inexpensive, not require pallets and minimize the chance of damage. 
 

So, no matter how good they sound, and I suspect it will be good… this will be a big plus for the resale market six months from now when some of the early adapters start to flip them. 

@snapsc Agreed. I’ve settled on my endgame speakers; ATC 50 actives. They came in very large factory boxes (saved) plastic wrapped on a substantial pallet. Hired piano movers to first move them upstairs and then assist manhandling them to install Gaia l footers and help position them correctly in their ’final’ resting place.

I dread a future repair or reconfiguration of the system and the effort involved. Lots to be said about manageable pieces.
