Hi andy, they are lovely looking things and have nice real wood veneer ,sound wise they're going from a bit ropey to ooh that's nice!!! So all being well they'll end up at the latter with more hours under their belt. Apparently they're Chinese built, though designed in blighty these days

Yes , a " made in uk " label would be nice, but I can't fault the build quality

Interesting indeed but good to see them back. They used to make some really great speakers back in the day.

Was the return of Castle not something to do with Auido-T, a distribution deal or something?

well the castles seem to have settled in now and i love em. plenty of detail,bass isnt window shaking but plenty for my room and its nice and clean, not at all lumpy or woolly. above all theyre very easy to listen to, be it music ,film or tv. i think they would benefit from a change of amp though,oh ek more pennies!!
