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 have never owned an open baffle speaker and am feeling tempted to consider this one.  Would you mind sharing what it is about OB speaker that makes them midfi?

I don’t think I can go along with that at all. Sounds like an uninformed opinion to me.

Not a lot of bass! They need a lot of room to breath and they don’t image as well.

Open baffle have to many compromises and a following of people trying to “beat the system” instead of something with full range and can dig deeper down like a Wilson or Vivid audio.
