Replacement for Castle Severn II's?
Hi,
Well my little girl has successfully managed to finish off my Cherry Wood Castle Severn II's....I've had them for about 13 years.She's managed to push in and break off the tweeter cones on both speakers. Replacement speakers can't be had, I've contacted the new owners of Castle and they said they keep no spares at all for older models. So, looks like I'm in the market for a pair of speakers in the £500-£700 range...need to sound great, obviously, but also look great to keep the peace... Trying to put together a short list so all suggestions welcome, I've been out of the HiFi buying game for a long while so I'm not up to date with the current great buys. I listen to all sorts of music, mostly on Vinyl (Michell Tecnodec), but leaning towards Jazz/Prog/Electronic.....
Thanks, Mark
Mission 752s in Rosewood will deliver the sonic goods, Q Acoustics 2050i will deliver the dynamics but not at the expense of subtlety. About £150 mint for the former and around £600 for the latter with a gloss black or white finish.
Have you tried somewhere like Wilmslow Audio who may be able to suggest suitable non-Castle replacement drivers for your speakers? Worth a try.
Hi Mark
Dont suppose you still have your old speakers? I have some castle severn 2's with broken mid/low drivers and could do with replacements! How much (if you still have them) would you let us have them for.
Regards
James
