Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

I think we can all agree that Clayton is doing his best to get production ramped up, back in March they were at 7 to 10 a week....and it appears they are around 12 to 15 a week now. It sucks waiting I know, but for me the wait was well worth it.....they really are great speakers, and for the money are an absolute steal. I've also found that they reward better electronics, which was important for me as I added a new preamp and a couple of new amps

Easy for me to say (I know) as I've had mine for a while, but I hope you'll be as pleased as I have been when they arrive. The fact that Clayton addressed it in an open letter is a positive step

I am tempted to pick up a pair Caldans.  I dealt with Clayton previously when I purchased a pair of Spatial X5s.  He is a first rate guy.  My suspicion is that any communication lapses have zero to do with any shady intent.  Just gotta figure out what speakers to move into my graveyard or sell.

 The Caladans are so much more emotional and beautiful with the EL34 tubes. They have the fullness and weight I was looking for with these tubes.

IIRC my order was placed December 8, 2023. Last promised delivery date was June 15, 2024, which has come and gone. Haven’t heard a word from the seller. Didn’t even receive the email shared a few posts back. Paid 50% down via check when order was placed.

I noticed today that there's already a cherry pair for sale on USAudiomart for $2800.00
