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

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!
