What became of the guy making OB speakers about 2 years ago?

I admit to being eccentric. I was going to recommend the Caldaras to someone looking for speakers. I owned Accoustat 2 + 2S made custom frames with 4 servo amps (slightly modified), later Maggies, which I never could get to perform anywhere near the 2 + 2s, a bunch of monkey coffins (box speakers), including HPs own pair of Genesis Vs (too power hungry), eventually bought Emerald Physics 3.0s(model #?) with custom updated XOs. Ive had them for 3+ years. They play everything extremely well and respond to the many changes Ive make to the system in a 35’+ x 21’+ x 12’ with all glass front wall. Sorry to hear people got screwed by Shaw

I'd put in an order for Clayton Shaw's Caladans pretty early on. But after a 5 month wait I cancelled and my refund was sent almost immediately.  So I wouldn't call him a very very bad man. I'd just say he bit off more than he could chew. But he bowed out gracefully. That was my experience. I'm not trying to speak for anyone else.

Glad it worked out for you and you were refunded.  Others claimed they had a much more difficult time.

@mulveling +1 for the Linkwitz recommendation, top-tier performance if you can find a set of the 521 or older Orion designs.

@tweak1 +1 for the Monkey Coffin reference!
