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.
