Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

My order also was confirmed as from "Spatial Audio", and I've yet to receive any confirmation from Clayton Shaw the company. My assumption is that the video caused an overwhelming response, and an influx of orders. Not concerned at this point, but would be nice to have an update at least

I just realized that the only thing more annoying than all caps is all bold. Very aggressive.

Within 30 minutes of the NRD review, I called Clayton to inquire. He returned my call 3 days later and I ordered. He said I would be in the Nov. que. My credit card has not been charged. I'm fully confident Clayton will come through. He has spent his whole life earning a great reputation. Why would he sabotage that?

I have heard from a good source that Clayton is contracting with Spatial Audio to fabricate the baffles and assemble the Caladans. Spatial has the equipment, a trained and experienced crew, and lots of capacity. This is a good thing for both Clayton and for Spatial. I suspect that they are awaiting delivery of a component or two, but once they start to roll, things should go smoothly.

I, too, have had my card charged, but I’ve been able to get to know Clayton over the years (I bought the original M3s, the Sapphire M3s, and now the Caladans). I’ve been to his shops, and he even personally delivered the Sapphires to my home.  I have complete trust and confidence in Clayton. He’s solid. Though I’m anxious to get my hands on the Caladans, I’m taking the view that patience is a virtue and in due time I will be amply rewarded!

Having a receipt after a significant cc charge should be expected, not sure if email confirmation is the same. Glad it worked out

Long lead times were common from Covid supply chain problems. Many manufacturers were affected. Long lead times. Probably much better nowadays.

Congrats on your Caladan speaker purchase - they seem like a very rare sonic bargain
