Is Clayton Audio Out Of Business


Trying to confirm if Clayton Audio and Wilson Shen are out of business?? I had a pair of Clayton M70 monos for a long time and they were really excellent. Had considered a pair of M100 monos fairly recently which were for sale on Audiogon. It would be a real shame if Clayton Audio has gone under. The website is dead and that is usuallly a very bad sign. Would appreciate it if anyone knows for sure and could post the answer on this board.

Last I spoke to Wilson he said that someone hijacked his website. He never registered the domain name so its gone. He mentioned that he was still operating but it seems to be very minimal at best since I have not heard about him close to a year now.

His distributor gave up the line so your mileage will vary.
I spoke to Wilson a few months ago and he was still in business and planning to release some new products.

Try him at Claytonamp@aol.com
Of course, I checked the Web Site but as noted UP FOR SALE.
I sent Wilson an email 2/06 at his aol.com address and NO ANSWER. However, the email did not come back as UNDELIVERABLE/FATAL ERRORS, ETC. Does anybody have his telephone number? This is sad because his amps are the finest solid state I know and I have tried many. I used the M100s with an ARC Reference 2 Mark @ preamp. A great combo musically. Perhaps an email to IAR will yield a response? Somebody, please keep us informed if you find anything more than we know now. Thanks.
