Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

Well I will make sure to have my Depends on then. I truly am very excited, the Caladans bass continues to open a bit more each day.....and I think the Aric Audio and CODA pieces will truly be a magical grouping

Vthokie83,

I have these on order as well, Nov 2nd, I'm patiently waiting at the door.  I managed to get ahold of Clayton today (he's always busy), I asked about the break in method he circled back on playing an audio file on YouTube 10hz, he said that's the target and to let it play through the day, just enough to see woofer movement.  He said this would FastTrack the initial break-in 100 hrs, with full break in happening around 300 to 500 hrs.  

Owain,

Did he mention anything specific? I found several things when I searched YouTube for 10HZ audio

Hey Vthokie83,

He said just to loop the 10hz track and let that play for about 100 hours. I also brought up over heating concerns which he advised that he was not at all concerned being that the speaker is so efficient. He was more about breaking in the spider by the voice coil that the part that needs to move as the woofer are so rigid right now being so new. He also said you didn’t have to play at loud volumes but look for some excursion happening with the woofer. I also tried that 10Hz on my CSS Criton 1TDX and those woofers were moving. He also brought up The user Tyson from AudioCircle saying that Tyson experienced break in on the at around the 500 hr mark on his Saphires using this method.

What I'll do is let them play that 10hz from 7 -4 then I'll play my track and listen for improvements throughout the week I have that cd from bass mekanik  that does all those sweeps and ill just put on the track to repeat. 

When I did my RF7-III upgrade, I could not tell I my situation because of what that speaker went thru going from a two way to a 2.5.  A completely different  animal, but I was shocked from that bass I heard from Ron's video,

Or try calling Clayton, 801-631-2994

Figured I would weigh in here. I also ordered on 11/1/23. Received confirmation of order on 1/21/24. No additional update as of yet. Similar to another poster I ordered the Walnut baffles. Hoping to see the speakers at some point this month.
