Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?


After watching videos and reading positive reviews I ordered a pair of Caladans. It’s been 2 weeks and I have never received an email confirmation of sale.  The charge on my cc was from Spatial Audio.  I have called and left VMs twice and also emailed Clayton’s info address. Crickets ! 

Has anyone else experienced this?  I assume he’s extremely busy but I’m getting a little anxious.

@whiteknee I placed the order for Caladan one week after you did, had great phone conversation with Mr. Shaw three days ago. Hoping and looking forward to the enjoyment of my first OB speakers in February.

I think we always take chances ordering on line, for various reasons. I heard and read a lot about Clayton, and decided it was worth a try. Positive thinking, there are always Debbie Downers trying to "save" others from disasters. Anyway, using credit card gives protection in case things going south.  I think in this case, these chances are quite slim of that. And, lets keep in mind, good things come to those who wait!

Well, if you visit his website, it pretty much tells the story:  

"In light of the response to Ron’s New Record Day YouTube video and the success at Capital Audio Fest, we are thrilled to announce the prompt initiation of production. Our order queue from November to February is currently at full capacity. Nevertheless, we are accepting new orders for March delivery, and priority will be assigned based on the order date. Your patience and unwavering support is sincerely appreciated!"

So, I'd be thinking you might have a 2 to 3 month wait period. Still not as bad as some manufacturers of tube amps, just sayin'. 

I'm planning on ordering but might wait until I see some people get production units.
