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.

Jaytor,

Excellent summary of your listening experience.  I have heard Spatials with LTA more than once and I had the same impression as you did. At the PAF, the front end of the Spatials with Don and Lynn's gear and the stellar Lampizator DAC was something very special.  But those Spatial were around $9K and the Caladan speaker are a third of that cost so compromises likely had to be made.  Your review is a good data point for us devotees of Clayton's speakers.  Thanks for sharing it.

While ric is right, as usual, I don't have the equipment to DIY. Anyway, by comparison to many/most similar speakers, they cost a lot more

I am curious about everyone's order number.  Maybe we can make an estimate/guesstimate on production units per month.  I ordered in early January, and I am ~order 1000.  How about you all?

Is it ten thousand or one thousand? If 10k that would be WOW!

I placed the order on Nov 22 and the number is 857.

The real question… is the first order specified as #1… or does the sequence start higher… maybe 500… or 750???

Does anyone have #1?
