Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I wanted to order / try these speakers. His website still says "The current lead time for new orders is 90 days." If he has 300 orders in cue that is over $1M USD in his hands.  This is no way to do business. If you put the money on your CC and...

jafant  - Thanks for your response! After looking at all the Thiel models on https://coherentsource.wordpress.com I can see why the CS 2.4 would be considered the sweet spot, the most modern model before the price starts doubling.  I know this i...
