A New Chapter for ANTICABLES

Continuity, craftsmanship, and the next chapter for ANTICABLES.

For more than 24 years, ANTICABLES has followed a simple design philosophy: focus on the fundamentals that matter to music. That means avoiding unnecessary materials and cosmetic complexity, and putting the effort into the conductor, construction, and details that affect performance.

That approach has earned the trust of listeners around the world, many of whom have remained customers for decades.

Today, ANTICABLES enters its next chapter.

Clayton Shaw and Paul Speltz at the ANTICABLES ownership transition

Introducing New Ownership

Clayton Shaw is now the owner of ANTICABLES.

Clayton and I have worked together for more than a decade, sharing demo rooms and exhibiting together at audio shows. We approach audio in much the same way: keep the design purposeful, understand why each choice is made, and avoid complexity for its own sake.

Clayton is the founder of Emerald Physics and Spatial Audio. His work in loudspeaker design reflects the same interest in purposeful engineering and straightforward solutions that has long defined ANTICABLES.

Continuity by Design

The transition is designed around continuity. Customers should continue to see the ANTICABLES they know while the company moves into its next chapter.

  • Operations remain in Lake Elmo, Minnesota
  • The existing ANTICABLES team remains in place
  • Production continues using the same materials, tooling, and processes

The goal is straightforward: preserve the quality, service, and support customers have come to expect.

Looking Forward

Clayton brings extensive experience in high-performance audio and a deep respect for the ANTICABLES philosophy. I will remain involved throughout the transition, helping preserve the continuity of the brand, products, and customer relationships.

Thank You

It has been a privilege to build ANTICABLES and serve a community that values thoughtful design and honest performance. The most rewarding part has always been hearing from customers who found more enjoyment in their systems and their music.

ANTICABLES is in good hands. I’m excited to see what comes next.
