Castle Harlech S2 Speakers
Tradition has just been updated. The Harlech, one of Castle's most respected and popular designs, has been upgraded
with a high-tech facelift. The first of our Quarter Wave, twin-pipe, differentially tuned loudspeakers to benefit from
this advance, the Harlech now sports new and revolutionary combination of cold pressed, woven carbon fibre 130mm bass
units, formed around a new, diecast chassis, augmented by our proven and acclaimed 28mm, viscous damped, soft dome tweeter.
The advantages conferred by the new drive unit combination are immediately apparent - greater clarity, a better defined
sound stage, punchier bass, better transient attack; all of these have been added to Harlech's acknowledged strengths of
smooth, extended high frequency reproduction, coupled with the solid, substantial bass you only get from Quarter Wave designs.
The whole Harlech package has also become more flexible, more in tune with today's lifestyles. This loudspeaker is now absolutely
suited to a role at the centre of a state-of-the-art home cinema/AV facility. So, as a stand-alone stereo pair, or as part of a
sophisticated home entertainment package, you can't buy a better made, better sounding loudspeaker.

Castle Richmond 3i Speakers
The Richmond 3 could be said to have defined the performance standard for compact bookshelf speakers, but Castle didn't stop there, and the result is the Richmond 3i, which incorporates several valuable improvements. Extensive use is made of bituminous damping pads within the cabinet, reducing unwanted resonances. The space taken up by these has necessitated a small increase, 30mm, in the depth of the enclosure. The already massive magnet system of the Richmond's 110mm bass driver has also been further strengthened and improved, giving a faster, tighter low frequency response. The Richmond's drive units are now accessed via an improved fully bi-wireable crossover. Each change, like the Richmond 3i itself, is small, but the collective effect, like the superb sound it produces is, relatively of course, large.

Castle Clasic Sub-Woofer
In equipping Castle's Classic Sub with the desired level of performance, Castle have involved the expertise of Britain's foremost company in high level sound reproduction for both home and studio. ATC has a deserved international reputation for quality and accuracy in drive unit design and manufacture and the Castle Classic Sub utilises a massive 300mm ATC bass unit from this stable, driven by a ATC designed 200 watt amplifier. With fully equalised extension down to 20Hz, this sub-woofer is totally adaptable for use with any AV system.

Castle Bastion Centre Speaker
Remembering that, at any given moment, up to 80% of the sound information generated within such a system can be passed through the centre channel, Castle equipped the Bastion with two 130mm diecast chassis bass units, each with woven carbon fibre cone material, Kapton voice coil former and copper coated aluminium wiring. To this, using a crossover furnished with only top grade, audiophile components, selected for their sonic quality, Castle added its own 28mm soft dome HF unit. This tweeter, the same as used in the Harlech and Howard, greatly helps to maintain the seamless continuity of high frequencies across the sound stage, while the optimally tuned reflex enclosure, constructed in 18mm MDF, ensures that this centre channel packs plenty of punch.
