New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan

Well, I jumped in and ordered my pair in Maple. It sounds like I am in the December production run, so a couple of months out. Add to my current staple of speakers: Thiel CS2.3s, vintage Infinity RS Kappa 7s (GR Research updated crossovers), and Buchardt Audio S400 MKIIs. All very different with different strengths and weaknesses, why not an open baffle from a manufacturer with an impeccable history of OB speakers

Cool that you can afford to have a stable of speakers. Looking forward to your thoughts... maybe start your own thread

Tweak1,

I am blessed in the fact that I kept the speakers I've previously owned, because I couldn't bring myself to let them go. The Infinitys are from 1987, the Thiels from 1999, the Buchardts from 2022. This thread seems the perfect place to state I've purchased the Caladans

I wish Clayton luck, but just an observation - I’d have thought Spatial would have insisted on a non-compete clause or agreement on his departure. In other businesses I’ve been involved with I’ve seen as short as six months, but as long as two years.

My concerns are will these speakers be serviceable in a few years when Claytons health goes south again. I wish him the best BUT this is always a valid concern especially with Boutique one man shows.
