That LEGO is part of a very essential cooling system the Sugden runs at a steady 30c

connected to my Castle Warwicks this sounds wonderfull really feel the Castles are reaching there potential the Nad just wasnt good enough still not as warm as the Sugden connected to Rogers LS4as
havent dared to have both amps on at once theyd just melt
need to shuffle things around a bit


Love the detail from this Sony amp
Shame about the dint just below the model number
Got so much to do but i am just sat in front of the stereo enthralled

Is that the original Skipton Castle 'Warwicks' ? if so they have a suprisingly good Mid range..

Ive got a garden wall just like that does it make a good speaker stand?

Must admit I dont know much about Castle always remember liking what I had heard so picked these up when the local hifi shop was selling them second hand about a year ago love em such a wonderfull smooth sound just right for Klemperers Mahler

Yeh great little speakers, amazing what comes out of that 5" unit, the original 'Durham' were a 5" unit too but not as nice sounding as those 'Warwicks'.. There is matching stands for them if you ever see any..

Castles/Sugden thoroughbred yorkshire companies eh..

Lego? For better isolation, with a sharp blade cut two squash balls in half along the joining seam and use them as 'feet'.

I like the Little planet version. Its one of those things Ive wanted to do but never have.

That one works well with the oversized tree popping out
