Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

I had to cancel my order due to unforeseen circumstances. So whoever is in line for the cherry you just moved up a notch. I’m still probably 2 years out for a Decware having ordered in April 2023. I’m sticking with my Devore’s, Harbeth and Dynaudio for now. Still waiting on some reviews.

Last I spoke with Clayton, he said that he's no longer selling the white and black baffles because the paint job added too much time to an already lengthy process. I've had them for a couple weeks now so it's fully burned in and so far I have been pretty happy with my purchase. Love the directness of the open baffle sound which makes all instruments and vocals sound substantially more lifelike and the music more engaging compared to my old KEF Q950 speakers, which has a big soundstage but now sounds so diffused and muffled.

If anyone is interested, someone just posted a really detailed review of the Caladans on another thread on Agon titled "My Caladan Impressons".....Yes I misspelled impressions, but it is on the other thread

Thoughts on Steve's review? Steve seems to call the Caladan speakers bright with less impactful bass than both PAP speakers. The Caladans strengths seem to be build quality, wide sound stage, dynamics, and value for the price.
