Castle Severn 2 floor standers light oak veneer

[MisterMoseley]

The cabinets are immaculate and as close to mint condition as you are likely to find on a pair of legacy loudspeakers (manufactured around 25 years ago). Made in the UK by Castle in Yorkshire - well known for the quality of their cabinet making. These are as much pieces of furniture as they are speakers. I would describe these as small floor-standers.

There is no ‘sun fading’ to the wood which you so often see when speaker grilles are left in place.

In my opinion, these speakers produce a (slightly) warmish sound. I would call them relaxed and certainly not "bright" sounding. I've used them with vinyl and various iterations of digital. I can listen to them for hours without feeling any fatigue on the ears.

They are currently being used in a second system.

Technical;
47Hz - 20kHz
8 ohm
2 way speaker
25mm composite soft dome tweeter.
150mm bass/mid range unit - carbon fibre.
Sensitivity - 1w/1m @ 87dB
Dimension; 770mm tall, 200mm wide, 230mm deep

I currently have them connected to a 35 watt digital amp and they perform beautifully.

In my main system, they’ve also been happily running with a 50 watt Rega Brio amp.

Some very light 'crazing' to both tweeters which I've been told could be re-doped to return to A1 visual condition. Both tweeters measuring 6.5/6.6 ohm but I haven't measure the woofers.

I do have the boxes but haven't taken photos.

These are collection only (Gloucestershire) although I would be prepared to meet up along the M4 corridor, between Chippenham and Newbury (subject to prior arrangements being made).

Asking £275.

Thanks for looking.

Price?

[MisterMoseley]

Really sorry to have missed this off.
I’m asking £275.

[walpurgis]

As it's over £250, full sized photos will need to be shown. Thanks.

Hi Geoff.
Sorry, I didn’t realise. I don’t seem to be doing very well with this!
I’ll sort photos in the morning.
Thanks

Hi Geoff
Sadly I think I'm going to have to give up with this and remove the ad.
I admit to not being very experienced with uploading photos, so I've chkd the FAQs again.
Every time I create an album and try to upload photos from my PC, they are reduced in size by about 90%.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong/how to overcome this.
If I need some sort of external hosting, I don't have this.
Thanks
Stuart

[walpurgis]

I'll see what I can do in a while.

Hi Grant
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
Not that I’m likely to have any hifi kit for sale over £250 in the future but if you have time to give me a couple of pointers as to what I should be doing, then that would be great.
Thank you
Stuart

Weekend bump and price dropped to £250.
I’ll also include the spare tweeters (immaculate and measuring OK) and spare crossovers in that price.
Thanks

[walpurgis]

That's a lot of very nice speaker for the money, especially with the spare parts. Somebody should grab these. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Geoff.
I appreciate the vote of confidence.
I’m not going to drop the price again and if I can’t achieve £250, then I’ve decided to keep the Severns and instead, offer up my Castle Avons. These will be a far bit cheaper and although the drivers are vgc, the cabinets are only average.

[MisterMoseley]

I’ll give these one final bump and if still no interest, then I’ll probably pull the ad and try again next year.
Thanks
