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 didn’t have an issue with the AMT driver really. What I didn’t like was using a 12” driver to reproduce the midrange. It was a little beamy and didn’t have the realism and texture of a good midrange reproducer. The X3 is the only spatial speaker I’ve heard, but it seems that Clayton insists on using larger drivers for the midrange in all his designs. I’d really like to hear a pair of the PAP using the wooden horn.

That's pretty good. I paid 400.00 to ship the X3s. And this was in 2019.
