| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan For any faults the X3 might have had, bass response and accuracy was not any part of it. Truly world class bass from that speaker. | |

| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @ricevs I was an early adopter of the X3. I paid 7500.00 and that was before the big price increase. Although they were very good speakers, ultimately they weren’t for me so I moved on. Now that speaker is where I can see a good sized profit be... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan The way I see it, I don’t think the term is meant to denigrate, but compliment. At least in this case. It’s pretty obvious that Clayton is not making bank selling these speakers at that price. I would imagine this is an introductory offer that has... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? Very real… | |

| Results of Actual Hearing Test and Next Steps @mahler123 The right to bear arms doesn’t mean the right to have them for free. Same for hearing aids. You have the right to own both, you just have to pay for them. | |

Now the entry point is 12K for a speaker that (on first glanc... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @avanti1960 I have never heard the Benchmark amps, but what you describe is exactly what their preamp sounds like. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... For a system geared more towards music, I would choose different speakers, electronics and speaker placement. But at least you are a good sport about all this. | |
| Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice? Secretionguy gets a lot of it wrong. No surprise here…. | |
| How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing? @soix +1 | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Room and components are still indicative of home theater. When you try to do both in one room, compromises will be made. And you have obviously compromised music for movies. No problem with that as long as you are ok with it. |
