Caladan Break-in

As I posted in another thread, Clayton's speakers for Spatial Audio Lab needed 300 - 400 hours to really break in so be patient.

I am just becoming aware of these speakers and am definitely intrigued. I watched the New Record Day video on You Tube; the sound was pretty impressive even with the inherent limitations of listening to music in that format. One question stands out to me. The music Ron played was pretty cool but seemed like the typical audio show fare; one or two instruments to highlight the low end or some other feature. What I want to know is what do these speakers sound like when a full band is playing?  How do they perform when playing Zeppelin, the Eagles, Al Green, Petty etc. and other mainstream classic rock/soul?  I would love to hear from anyone who has tested the Caladans with this kind of music.  Also, do they perform as well with vinyl vs streaming?

Thanks in advance for any impressions people might have.

Everyone has been talking about break-in with these open baffles. I’m at about 170 hours now, and I honestly think the sense of airflow and openness in the sound is already very good.

Open baffle speakers take a long, long time to settle in. Also, they will have sound that some will enjoy and many may not. Your room acoustics will matter as much as all speakers' performance. I owned a pair and enjoyed them for what they did well, but over time, I felt they had drawbacks. Things were very open, but no meat on the bones, a lack of body to the instruments. Very live sound that I liked, so I had them for 4 years. I purchased a pair of Aerial Acoustics 7B loudspeakers, and I am really enjoying them. They are very open, musical with weight and body to the reproduction; the bottom end goes deeper with detail surprisingly, and has as much punch, if not more, and is cleaner. Cone speakers do have their advantages. I owned electrostatic ESL 63's also and enjoyed them a lot, I take them over open baffle overall because they do what open baffle does but a bit better and more natural. Each has its benefits, and in the end, it is what you enjoy. Different designs give you a different spin on reproduction. My 7B's tonally wise reminds me of the Quad ESL 57's, but with unlimited dynamics, tone-wise, surprisingly very similar.  

As far as Clayton's new business Caladan Shaw Acoustics Labs, I saw the Caladan is currently unavailable. if so perhaps this new business is done, if so that will be Clayton's 3rd business he started and sold and this hurts his customer's. And I was one. 

I was an early adopter of the Spatial Audio X3s. I loved the dynamics, openness and bass response. What I didn't like is the 12' midrange driver. It was too beamy and there was not much texture to voices and instruments. Not a very realistic portrayal of the midrange. I kept them for about a year and moved on.
