New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan

As I understand it, Clayton developed these speakers after he parted with Spatial Audio.  At a cost of ~$3K, which is astounding, and a beautify wood baffle, they look sensational.  I heard the sound of them in the video below on my cans and was super-impressed.  They go very low in response as well. I can't wait to hear more reviews of them as I am sure that they will be excellent performers for a really affordable price.  You have lived until you have had OB speakers in your room, which is just my humble opinion.

I am a HUGE OB fan. My Emerald Physics 3.4s (43" tall) throw an amazing 3D soundstage, outboard XOs. Sadly, no longer made, but the Caladans seem to slide right in, and at a super price point. from the video it looked like the jumpers were very thin. The OEMs when I first got my 3.4s was CRAP wire. I quickly upgraded it to amazing improvement

See them in my Virtual System

The Caladan's sound really interesting. I have never owned an OB design, though wanted to add one.....at an affordable cost. These look to fit the bill

I too watched the New Record Day video yesterday with headphones. Been thinking about open baffle for quite some time now. Problem is they can't be more than about 2 feet from back wall in my living room setup which may be a deal breaker.

As an early adopter of the X3s (now gone), I’m interested too. I guess I’ve been behind, I didn’t know Clayton left Spatial.
