Clayton has officially left Spatial
« on: 12 Sep 2023, 07:27 pm »
As of September 11 2023, I have officially left Spatial Audio as a commercial entity. I have a wealth of great memories developing products over the last 13 years and especially value all the support and friendships garnered over the years. My customers and industry associates are the most important thing to me personally. We have all been in this together in the sense that we have all been a part of this beautiful and unique hobby over the decades. I have been blessed to be part of it in my own way and have endeavored to contribute to the best of my ability and try to bring the magic of open baffle speaker design into a more mainstream alternative to the old box paradigm. Thank you for your trust and support. Hopefully, a more emotionally engaging experience has been translated into your life. I still have the fire of innovation in me, so who knows what comes next.

Spatial Audio Lab continues on and has a passionate and competent team in place to continue the manufacture of the Spatial products. So please support them as they ramp up and move forward. Please direct all communications to them directly going forward. Email and phone information is on the Support page of the www.spatialaudiolab.com site.

Regards,
CLAYTON SHAW

Thanks Tyson - As one the prime contributors to this forum, that means a lot to me.

Clayton, the X3s that I purchased almost two years ago continue to entertain and delight me with every listen!

Thank you for bringing this amazing speaker to market and best wishes for whatever lies ahead.

Clayton,

Thanks for making great speakers…

And thanks for the hospitality you extended me and many other visitors over the years!

What comes next… it’s hard for creative people to retire.

Best of luck Clayton!  Thank you for my M4s!  Normally any purchase is over analyzed.  But these were an uncharacteristic impulse buy I’ve not regretted for a moment based on little more than your advocacy and a couple of reviews.

Clayton, thanks for your recommendation of M6 speakers for my small room and ever since it has provided me with undiminished satisfaction while listening to it. I hope you will continue to make affordable and excellent open baffle speakers again. Lastly take care of your health. :notworthy:

All the best Clayton. Had purchase M3 Turbos from you a while back and enjoyed those while I had them (the itch to rotate gear keeps infecting me) but always kept an eye on Spatial's progress and see the rabid following for your designs over the years.

Hope you have a chance to get your health back to 100%, which will hopefully lead to something fantastic that you'll likely work on next.

Clayton,
I met you at The Show in Long Beach back in 2021 and I was so impressed with you and the M3 Sapphire speakers that I placed an order that day. Those speakers have been the single biggest improvement to my stereo in my many years of music appreciation. They continue to dazzle me and I will be forever grateful to you for designing them and making them available at a price point for a teacher like me to afford. I wish Spatial all the best moving forward. They appear to be in very capable hands with some very exciting ideas. All that being said, Clayton you will be missed. Good luck to you moving forward.

Ever been to a show and approaching a room and been able to tell that the system is really good before you even get in the room? Spatial is that kind of product- and a surprising value in today's audio market.

Wishing you the very best, Clayton. Listening to my X4s as I write this makes me truly appreciative of you vision and passion. Hoping you get to put your feet up and kick back for a while (if you even know how ;). Stay well!
