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.

@jeff_pvd i placed my order back in February. As best I can tell, there are around 150 orders to go out before mine comes up. He is shipping 5-10 per week so at a minimum, I’m looking at another 15 weeks. That is 11 months from my order date.  The 90 day banner on his website is a joke

Did Audio Research disappear and then come back.  I don't know their history.

Clayton just sent out an update that he has contracted with an Amish wood counter manufacturer that can scale to his baffle needs. So hopefully in about 60 days there will be a big jump from the 22 speaker pairs he was able to ship last month

Requested a refund yesterday but haven’t heard back from Clayton. Apparently, he has let go all of the people who were helping him assemble the speakers and it’s one man operation now that he is moving to Norman, OK. If he ever gets the lead time down to a reasonable time, I will reconsider ordering. In the meantime, I’m going to rewire a set of Magnepan 1.6QRs and do the Peter Gunn mod
