Clayton just called me. First shipment of walnut baffles from new vendor is due to arrive next week in Oklahoma. December 2023 orders will most likely be worked on in November 2024. He though my early December 2023 order would ship this coming December. Thanks for getting back to me Clayton.
Hardwood baffles from the new vendor were suppose to start showing up at the Caladan manufacturing facility in Norman, OK this week. Wonder if that happened? If yes, guess we will start seeing people sharing they received their Caladan order.
Don't have my pair yet, but can tell you bass response is very much room dependent for any set of speakers. Bass notes are long wavelengths and form nulls (soft bass) and peaks (loud bass) in a room when the reflected bass sound waves cross. So placement of speakers within your listening room and where you sit makes a huge difference in the perceived bass response, as do bass trap room treatments.
Hello Knock1 - I am not aware of any unpaid refund requests. Please contact me directly at info@claytonshawacousticlab.com to discuss and look up your records.
So that means 125 orders from November 2023 are still yet to be filled. Even if it is true that 40 pairs a month are being produced (highly doubtful), then still 3+ months away from all November orders being shipped.
My order was placed December 8, 2023. Haven't heard a word about them shipping. Three to four promised ship dates have come and gone since they were suppose to be delivered in March 2024. Last promise was I'd get them in August 2024. That ain't happening.
Anyone hear of any updates on the production of the Caladans? I have not been able to register for the Clayton Shaw forum. My order is about 9 weeks old. Has anyone received their Caladans lately? How long did they actually take to fulfill the order?
@caladanI can corroborate that the forum sign up is broken. I never received a confirmation email and if I try to reregister, it says my email is already in use.
Considering Clayton requires the full price to be paid upfront, parts orders should have been placed 8-9 months ago. I'm never paying full price again for an item that might take a year to arrive
Cancel the order, take your money and look elsewhere. No guy working out of his garage is worthy of a year's wait (with your cash in his wallet). His speaker and him certainly ain't all that!
I don’t know either Clayton about registering for the forum. I never got a confirmation email that is supposed to be sent and allows a new user to set a password.
Just tried to create a new registration using another email address and your forum says that email address is already in use also. Am giving up.
We had component delays on the tweeter and input panel as previously mentioned, but both are on the way now, Some tweeters arrived yesterday. So we can finish up on many of the speakers built up and waiting on parts. We have a total of 200 tweeters coming.
Going forward, please use our website forum for communication and shipment updates. My email is listed there as well: info@claytonshawacousticlab.com. We don't monitor other forums such as this. So, If you have a question or concern, simply contact me directly by email or call me at 801-631-2994.
Our webmaster tested the sign up process for our internal forum and it checked out fine, so not sure what the issue is with BMW R75 effort to join.
This is "little" disconcerting that nobody answered my post from more than two weeks ago regarding any recipients of Caladans from the July build list. Nobody has gotten them then?
List price recently increased from $3000 to $3450, but upcharge for Walnut baffles no longer exists. Looks like all wood types now cost the same as Walnut did previously. 19% delivered price increase since December 2023.

I’ve repeatedly tried to register at the Clayton Shaw Acoustic Lab forum. Might as well be spitting into the wind. No confirmation emails are ever received. Try registering again and it says the username and email address are already in use. Have made Clayton aware of this months ago, no solution ever provided.
This is the list of orders that we plan to build this month, based on our scheduling. This, of course assumes the components and baffles are here as we go along.
We ship what is ready on Fridays. We ship all ready orders that week.
So all the people on that list will have speakers shipped by the end of July? Your post says shipments but the link says “upcoming builds”. Two very different things.
