Great interview Jason. Having owned the original and highly modified EP CS2's and now X5's, this is exactly who Clayton is, very approachable and a true innovator!

GREAT interview! And, couldn't help but notice Clayton's early model Atma-Sphere S-30 on the shelf back there!

Love the interview. I own the X3 speakers. They produce amazing sound, especially classical and jazz music. The open baffle design greatly reduces room interference. Soundstage width and depth are amazing. I'm always interested in hearing from Clayton as he discusses his design philosophy and the quality of the parts he puts in to it. Thank you.

I was surprised to hear that Clayton was in Norman, Ok the same time I was. I was at OU during the early seventies and was getting into audio so spent many hours in the Gramophone and Thompson Sound. I owned two different pairs of Norman Lab speakers. Leonard Bernstein owned Thompson Sound, another nice hifi store in Norman, and along with Jim Long had Norman Laboratories. I still on rare occasion run into one of the owners of the Gramophone, Joe Pryor, here in Oklahoma City.

How do you know what's good with buying it and testing out the speakers?

[@TheIntellectualPeoplePodcast]

Can you be more specific?

[@anandshah71]

Clayton on drivers front would you try Purifi woofers

[@TheIntellectualPeoplePodcast]

Maybe if they produced Large OB woofers he would try them.
